I am just getting ready to sell Story Time Felts & More and was going to look at some sites to use for my site. When I stumbled onto this site. I am so excited because I have decided to do family time each week and I am also going to try to home school my kindergartner. I am so scared that I will make it to boring. However, thanks to you and your thoughts you can help me. I have no teaching degree. So I am scared. Keep up the great work. Teresa ( Idaho)
