Have you ever been told something and it goes in one ear and out the other? No matter how important or useful it was, it literally had no significance or made no sense until a few weeks or months later. We’ve all heard the ‘new car’ example. Someone goes into a dealership and buys a new car and all of a sudden they see that new car everywhere they go.

Over the past couple weeks we’ve be working on a project to inject some fun into the home-schooling curriculum and give parents a brief but much deserved rest.

Whether or not we’ll look back at this as our defining moment of greatness is yet to be revealed but it’s part of our journey and therefore it’s part of our success.
