It's 11:00 am, our homeschooling day has not yet begun. Why? Husband can't find my tripod. I'm not sure he really needs it, but when he gets an idea in his head, well, that pretty much takes over the day. And now - it's a treasure hunt. For a boy who gets to spend too … Continue reading A wasted day or a worth it day?

The Leaves Hate Me or It’s Alright Not to be Perfect
Today was the day. The day to rake the leaves. My husband has this theory that you should wait for all of the leaves to fall off the trees before raking. I think that's his sneaky way to get out of raking. So, of course, there comes a point where I don't want to wade … Continue reading The Leaves Hate Me or It’s Alright Not to be Perfect

In case you’re wondering if dogs like wool

For the past week, I have been watching my beautiful niece Josie, as well as attempting to home school Isaiah in his 4th week of first grade. It was tough in the beginning. OK, more like grueling. But It was OK and … Continue reading In case you’re wondering if dogs like wool
Pockets Acorns Rocks and Leaves
Does anyone else have pockets (or purses) filled with acorns, rocks and leaves? Mine are. The leaves don't usually make it. It's often a day or two before I discover them and move them to their new home, the nature table. As I emptied my pockets today, I had a moment. Being true to what … Continue reading Pockets Acorns Rocks and Leaves
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The only thing I dislike more than waking up at 6am is taking a shower at 6:05. I know, some of you will say, "oh, but that's what wakes me up!" or "it feels so great!" or whatever you shower people say. Yes, I admit it. I am not a fan of showers. I comply … Continue reading The Itsy Bitsy Spider
This is about “Breaking” the parenting mold, isn’t it?
It's been a while since I've posted. And I'm sorry about that. I've been on sort of a mental sabbatical. And when I say mental, I truly mean that I believe my senses have been dangerously close to leaving me. It's amazing how easily you can forget who you are. Especially when the pressure is … Continue reading This is about “Breaking” the parenting mold, isn’t it?
The Lighter Side – When I married him I thought he was just driven. Part 1
So, I have this husband, and you know, he's really awesome. He's nice to everyone. Literally. Even me. He's so nice to everyone, you might say he's too nice. Here's an example, one time he gave this complete stranger, a women, his phone number, she was clearly kind of "off". He thought she seemed "nice", … Continue reading The Lighter Side – When I married him I thought he was just driven. Part 1
