Wire and Honey: Where cutenss and social change meet

Wire and Honey has become one of my favorite online/instagram store.  The shirts are cute with unique messages.  Started by a mom (Rah) who couldn't find "offbeat style" clothes for her adorable son. One of my favorite shirts is:




What an important message!! In this time that we are living in, with so much misinformation available, we need this message.  In fact, Wire and Honey came underattck because of these shirts.  In May, Wire and Honey's facebook account came under attack by hateful misinformed people.  Anti vaccinators started posting untrue and abhorrent messages.  Instead of attacking back, Rah donated a Super Hero Pack to UNICEF in their names!  That act is taking the high road to a whole new level and really solidifed my love for Wine and Honey.

Homeschool

I have several passions including running, my kids, etc.  While training for this current marathon season I also started a Homeschool group.  My curious, vibrant LO needed more of an educational structure.  The thought of homeschool frightened me.  I am not a traditional teacher, and at first didn't know many other moms interested in homeschooling.  I researched, read and asked questions.  Our class formed.  Over time our group grew.  Now we are 9 strong.  Teaching children, especially your own, can be overwhelming but yet exciting.  But imagine 9 rightfully opinionated parents, moms specifically, all with the noble goal with providing the best education possible.  No small task let me tell you.  We are in our sixth month and still going through many growing pains.
