One of the cool things about homeschooling is that you get to revisit your own education. My 7 year old came to me this morning and asked me this question. Still a bit tired and achy from sleep, and trying to get eggs and oatmeal on the stove, I said “Ummm….it has something to do with the relative position of the earth and the sun.”

Pretty good for 7 am eh? I promised him we would look it up later, after breakfast and my green tea kicked in. Then I get to learn all about equinoxes, and probably solstices too. ;)

 Today on Natural Moms Talk Radio I’m talking with a homeschooling Mom who is the author of Life Long Learning. Tune in and listen here.
