So Many Years Ago…

It’s sometimes odd to think back about what you were doing this time of the year 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 years ago.  April, for me, seems to be a very eventful month and a lot of big life events have happened this month.

Here’s what I was up to in April:

1 year ago…hubby and I sat in an Irish pub, seriously considering homeschool for the first time after Honeybun started telling us she was stupid, hated school and didn’t like anything about herself.
