Book club took an interesting turn this month – a really BIG turn. A Biltmore-sized turn. We read The Mystery of Biltmore House was lots of fun to study, and through our meeting, we examined natural science, architecture, art, and history. I love when books provide so many natural avenues for learning! What are your… Continue reading Book Club: “Mystery of Biltmore House”

I love book club days, and this group of girls is always fun.
