When it comes to homeschooling and being with kids all day long, I have to do what I can to limit the amount of extra thinking in my day. Second grade math is about my limit, is that normal? (Don’t answer.) Since I can’t skip over place value notation, skipping over standing in front of […]
I didn’t document a lot of this month (or this summer) because of moving boxes and paper plates and Chic-fil-a on repeat. It’s been a big blur of unpacking, late nights, and getting oriented in our new space. Sometimes I’m kind of not sure how we got here at all! Yet here we are, dahling […]
I got pregnant with Levi right in the middle of our kitchen renovation. That seems like bad timing, but it was definitely planned that way! He’s our most planned baby. We had started the conversation over a year before and decided that now was the time to move forward. We were happy with our three […]
Well, 2020 is coming in full force with the changes. We are moving! This all came about early this year when I requested a trial period of living in another state. I just reached a point where I needed to be within at least a day’s drive of my family for a little while […]
Hey friends! Before I pack up all of our homeschooling supplies for the big move, I wanted to give you a little homeschool recap for our year! Well as you all know we had a baby last spring (some about that here), so along with homeschooling the girls, I nurtured a baby in the […]
I am really surprised to tell you that Covid-19 threw a HUGE wrench in my reading life! You would think this would be the most productive reading binge of my life. NO. It was terrible! In February we had a busy month with Valentines celebrations, a birthday, sick kids, and work in the evenings! […]
Are you looking for a little something festive for Valentine’s Day? In year’s past I would plan little to nothing and then at the last minute regret it and scrounge around my house for heart doilies and glue! I’m better about being prepared for Valentines these days, but I try to keep it really simple. […]
Well friends I did a ton of reading this month! Sometimes I struggle to pick up something off my stack, while other times I get into a topic and I just have to read everything about it. I’m not going to overwhelm you with all of that, so here is what I read last month […]
January was a tough year, but we made it, amiright? I confess, the holiday blues hit me hard this year and stayed on a little longer than usual. When this happens, I like to torture myself by asking depressing questions like “Will my kids ever have memories of my mom’s at Christmas?” And “Why do […]
I read a lot this month (see my last post)! We didn’t do any school so I had a lot more margin than usual, and that was really nice. The baby also transitioned into napping on a more regular schedule *yay* so I was really feeling that extra breathing room! Sadly, none of the relaxing […]
