The Reader and the WriterWar and Peace | Part 6Welcome back to our year long read of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. In this episode, Rhea and Shari break down the whole tragic event of Natasha’s inevitable break up with Andrei. They wonder how many more times Dolokhov will keep appearing where there’s trouble-making. They worry over Andrei’s heart and wonder over Marya’s words to him about forgiveness.

Finally, they discuss the ways...2025-07-041h 10
The Reader and the WriterWar and Peace | Part 4 - April ReadingHello! Welcome to April’s reading of War & Peace.

Of course they talk about Dolokhov and Sonya, Denisov and Natasha, and how some characters seem to be maturing while others are regressing as they a...2025-04-041h 17

Not Your Momma’s AdvocateHomeschool OT with Sarah CollinsOccasionally as a parent, I wish I had an expert for fields that seem beyond my reach.

They also need life skills that school doesn't afford them and rich lessons in history that I am concerned are being erased or changed in our school...2021-03-0147 minNot Your Momma’s AdvocateThanksgivingI am so thankful for you, friends!
