'A real connectedness'

With her nearly 22 million page views per month, Osage County blogger Ree Drummond finds herself on Forbes magazine's Web Celeb 25 list of "the biggest and brightest stars on the Internet." She blogged yesterday on why she homeschools her children. The entire post is worth reading, but one benefit she mentioned was "the sheer amount of time we get to spend together as a family."

I do sense a real connectedness that has formed in our household over the past few years. There's a sense that we're a team, that we're all in this together, and that any learning that needs to be done around here is a group effort.
