Have you heard the one about the homeschooling family that lives on less than $22K a year in an area that costs above 100% (116%) of the National CoL Index?
I haven't quite figured out why so many people still persist in perpetuating the myth that living on a single income and homeschooling on a dime aren't possible. I can only suppose these are people who can't imagine life without a daily trip to Starbucks and dinner out several times a week. The people who actually shop at malls (*shudder*) and think "Brand Name = Best". The people who really live by the "Keeping up with the Joneses" mentality.
That? Would not be us!
Welcome to our world. We cook from scratch. Buy from thrift stores. Find 95% of our homeschool materials for free. This is my blog and this is how we do it.
Atlantis takes flight.
One of the neat things about living where we are? We get to see the shuttle launches from our backyard. And this evening's was a beauty - perfect blue sky, clear view. We watched until the boosters separated from the ship and the shuttle faded from site.
In honor of Atlantis, here's a site to explore: SPACE SHUTTLE HISTORY.
And here is NASA's video and image gallery: SEARCHABLE GALLERY.Labels: general chatter
