Lots of folks have been seeing (and hearing) coyotes lately! It’s nothing new; coyotes have been around The Woodlands since forever, but some newer residents are just now getting the memo, plus it seems that sightings have been on the rise in recent years. Reportedly, some neighbors in Creekside Park have even experienced having their little chihuahuas hauled off by these wolf-like canines (YIKES!), but this could possibly be an urban legend. (Let us hear from you if you have some facts about this.) Living among wild animals is part of the beauty of living in a heavily wooded, mostly secluded area like ours.
Have you tested your DNA for genealogy? I know a few people who have, and they have been quite intrigued with the results. I've even heard of families who have traced their ancestors all the way to Africa and consequently recently visited the continent for the first time to meet distant relatives. What an adventure!

There are so many pros and cons to homeschooling, and also very many pros and cons to sending your kiddos off to school. Personally, I think education works best when youre doing what works best for the child and the family, and every situation is different. So here are two words for you homeschoolers, public schoolers, and private schoolers: ROCK ON!
