Christian county, we are back up and running, thanks for your patience while we got the car situation figured out!

Jennifer, everyone in Kentucky is AWESOME! I love how friendly y'all are! (I think it's just a requirement in most states that young kids stay half-dressed) Brittany's senior year is going to be legendary. Keep staying super-involved in the Christian County schools and thanks for being a super-star mom!

Brittany struggled so much in her ap classes, and she likes one on one attention. It'll also help both of my boys who I need to constantly refresh myself on the internet for. This will help so much.

It's starting to warm up in Kentucky!! Grab some iced tea, roll your windows down or hop in the pool see you soon Christian County!

It's always nice to find a hard-working Dad who loves his family! Take it easy for a little while Leon! I'm glad that you are pushing Landon to do hard things. I'm excited to see what video games this kid makes as he gets older!

I've been thinking of ways to help Landon and it seems like the common core is causing a lot of kids and parents to struggle. I want him to do well in school and be successful long after I'm gone.

Lisa, you and Dustin are doing a great job keeping Taj curious! I know he'll have a lot to explore with all the horses and scenery out here in the country. Keep up the great work and good luck with riding!

I want my kids to have a better educational level than I was able to get! I dont want them to miss any opportunities

Rachal! Koryn and Kenny are going to CRUSH their ACT's. I could definitely feel the intense love you have for these boys. Keep being a cool mom and tell Koryn we're going to get a picture with his face in it before the end of the summer.

I've been looking for something to give the boys a leg up on the act. It's hard to research all of the options as a homeschool mom. I like the Simplicity of the college entrance advantage.

Ashley! You're doing a great job! I hope the kids get lots of medals in t ball this year! Coach em well!

I want the kids to have a jump start. I want blake to have a jump start when he gets into school

Happy Saturday Christian County!

Phyllis, it was great seeing how you care for Kyle! You're a superstar great grandma!

These books look like they're about as easy for me to use as it does for him and would give Kyle a good start if he goes to public school
