My crunchy transition! Part 2

As I type this I have a mouth full of coconut oil and saliva. I'm trying my best to keep it in my mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes. It really is as difficult as it sounds. I'm doing what is called "oil pulling". 

 

 

Oil pulling is supposed to be beneficial for a few different reasons. The first big reason I'm doing it is to whiten my teeth. Since I've started drinking coffee almost daily for the last 2 years my teeth have gotten some yucky looking stains. Another reason I do it is because I have really bad gums and they bleed easily and oil pulling has been known to help with that. And the last reason I do it is because it's been known to pull the nasty toxins out of your mouth, who doesn't need to do that?

Have you ever done it? What do you think?

Homeschooling

This post might be a jumble because I'm just so confused but feel like I need to write it out and hopefully get some advice. I feel like my heart is pulling me towards homeschooling but my mind is telling me Lyla may flourish and grow more in traditional schooling. 

I'm just so tired of all the germs. I'm tired of all of us being sick. No matter what I do at least one of us has been sick since September and I'm not exaggerating. It's been ridiculous. I'm tired of mean girls and parents who don't teach their kids how to be respectful of other kids and parents that really don't act any better. I try to teach my kids that you won't always like everyone you meet in life but that you really should be nice to everyone. Lyla is in a private preschool that has a board committee and the people on the board think that they are all high and mighty. I have had several issues with the board president. I'm also starting to have issues with the teacher. I swear, today she spent 1/3 of the short amount of the school day gossiping with the board president.

But then I have the feeling in the back of my mind that I don't have the confidence or smarts to do it.. Especially in math and science.

Do you homeschool? Why or why not? What are your thoughts on homeschooling?
