Today, I'm sharing a little audio journal of sorts, sharing my somewhat unconventional thoughts on mommy care. I think it's essential, I think it's important, I think it's necessary, but maybe there's more to it than just finding time to meditate and be alone.

Today I review Math U See by Steve Demme. This curriculum, more than any other, has been one I've watched my friends switch TO from other methods. I give a little peek into the parts of the curriculum, and why I think it's so unique. I also give an over view of what each level teaches.
