A Round Up of Valentines Day Resources: Homeschool Link UP

Welcome to the Homeschool Review Crew Valentine’s Day Resource Round Up for 2018.  Recently our family has been walking through the rough road of seeing an extended family member struggle through three months of ICU hospital stay (please keep her in your prayers) and it has reminded me just how fragile life really is and that we need to take each day to let those we love know that we love them.  Valentine’s Day is a fabulous way of spending a little extra time and showing our loved ones that they are truly and deeply loved.
