We have been on the fence about which skill is more important: learning cursive or learning to type. Ultimately, however, for our family they’re both equally important.

Now, with my youngest being homeschooled, we wanted to look at options for how to teach typing skills. And one of the ways that we were able to do that? With Typesy. I was compensated for my…

If you’re feeling a bit underappreciated as a mom, I get it. Sometimes it seems like the work that we do just isn’t acknowledged and it sucks. As moms, whether we are stay at home, work at home, or work outside of the home; we do a lot. We tend to wear many hats in addition to our primary hat as mom.
