(Issue Story)Another Trip Around the Sun
The Young Collector
People are fond of telling tired parents, “The days are long, but the years are short.” Time does seem to change after having children, but perhaps not in that way. Unlike most of the things around us or at least in comparison to them, children change rapidly. The ... (Read More)

(Issue Story)Under the Influence
The Young Collector
We are part of an odd generation, a generation that straddles a digital divide. We were ten before our mothers owned microwaves, which happened only a few years before we got our first family computers. Hollie says she often feels our childhood was like The Wizard of Oz, ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)Looking for the Good
School has started back at our house, and every year it is an anxiety-ridden process. Like anything that comes with tremendous rewards, homeschooling also comes with tremendous responsibility.

(Issue Story)Consolidation

(Young Collectors)A Fundamental Question
The Young Collector
Is there anything more exhausting than a small child who wants to know the why of everything? And to answer is just a trap! We all know that nothing good comes of answering “Why?” because it’s just followed by another one. It is unending. Kid questions are unending ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)The Art of Being Irrational
The Young Collector
We all like to think we are rational human beings, that we have it together and see the world as it is. After all, the world is a safer place if we are able to predict our own reactions and choices, and all the more so if we ... (Read More)

(Young Collectors)Ode to Joy
The Young Collector
Winter, for many people, is binge weather. There’s no yardwork to be done on Saturday, nowhere to go when it is snowy and dark, so it is the perfect time to settle in and watch enough hours of television that Netflix becomes concerned and asks if you are ... (Read More)
