Ok now onto Erin’s dare!

We just passed Canada Day here in my country, it got me thinking about what I love and don’t love about where I live. Being a patriotic girl, I of course, found more to love, but I thought it would be cool to do a LO about our Country. What do you love about the country you live in? What do you wish you could change?

Create a LO that has journaling in a list-like format (be creative!) that has some of the pro’s and con’s of your country.

And some darer inspiration!

I’m Free. I can make my own choices. I can educate my children at home. I can worship God without fear. I can get anything I need. I can be who I am.
But this gets on my nerves…How everything is always politically correct. It takes forever to drive from one coast to the other. Commercialism runs rampant. Everyone is always too busy to just live.
