For an already busy year, the last bit of 2017 has turned into busy, busy, busy times. (I blame Ballet...)
And it's not even the real holidays yet!
A few links that I've saved since our last WWW:
Learning
- I'm listing this in the "learning" category because so much of it hinges on education: 5 Ways to Know if We've Won the Culture War by Robert Tracinski. These points are some (but not all) of the reasons we homeschool and why we pursue a "classical" education for our children and ourselves.
- And as a "relaxed classical" homeschooler, I too feel like a "homeschooling middle child," in the way that Purva Brown describes here: A Little Pressure Isn't a Bad Thing. (And yes, this feeling is one reason why I won't sign on with any certain method or guru.)
- Screen Time Is Changing the Way We Think, Focus, and Memorize by Chad Meeks for CT.
Living
- Dear Church Worker Wife Who Feels Overwhelmed by Kristen at Joyfully Thriving. October was Pastor Appreciation Month, but this post is still relevant.
- This is late and doesn't apply now, but I'll share it anyway: Your Gruesome and Tacky Yard Decorations are Sick and Rude by Georgi Boorman. A-MEN.
- Why Are Millennials So Afraid of Freedom? I think We Know by Lenore Skenazy at Free Range Kids. (Related thoughts here at Living Unabridged: No More Helicopter Parenting)
- Christians: Don't Spread Conspiracy Theories in the Wake of Tragedies by Jesse Carey at Relevant. It annoys me that this post is necessary, but here we are.
- Envy: Choke that Green-Eyed Monster Before it Chokes You. Practical advice from Mary Kassian.
- I'm a Mom Who Doesn't. You Don't Have to Either. By Elizabeth Spencer.
Loving
- Fascinating: The Oldest Treasures from 12 Great Libraries from Atlas Obscura
- Sharing for my husband's sake: James Gunn and Other Top Directors Call On TV Makers to Finally Kill the Soap Opera Effect by Rhett Jones at Gizmodo. Make it so!
- Scientists Found a Weird Hidden Structure in the Pyramids. Pyramids will never cease to fascinate.
