It’s funny when were walking through a store and a magazine catches my eye and I stop to look. While Charlie is asking who is that. Which is what happened the other day at Walmart when I saw a cover with Stevie Nicks on it.
Which was a #Homeschool Teaching Moment and why were studying Stevie Nicks in #Homeschool this week. Do you know anything about Stevie Nicks I can share with Charlie?
