Reality

You know those crafty-artsy-hipster-crunchy-parenting-homeschooling blogs where they’re always posting photos of the kids’ projects, which are always very cool, primitive yet winningly elegant in said simplicity, displayed against the background of the Mission furniture in their Craftsmen bungalows or their farmhouse and if they’re Catholic, Pius and Benedicta got it all done in between their Latin and Greek lessons? And everything in the soft, blurry edges of the artsy-skewed photos bespeaks an oasis of calm and grace in a crazy world?

This isn’t one of those blogs.

(Yeah, they’re St. Nicholas. You mean you can’t tell?)
