what matters most
Back at homeschool this week! And the gym and ballet and church! I was as happy to have fall break from school as they were! Back to the grading, supporting, teaching, and organizing the schoolwork for K5, 2nd grade, 4th grade, 6th grade, and 7th grade. We took Christmas photos, which of course, everyone loves,…

practice excitement
Hello! We had fall break last week! Brett was on a business trip for the first three days, but we took advantage of the wonderful step out of the ordinary. I truly enjoyed taking a break from the bustling world and enjoying just being at home with no commitments or appointments to rush to. The…

ways to reset the day
It’s my favorite month of the year! I hear it’s National Pumpkin Spice Day today – I suppose it is, so I’m here for it! I checked my coffee gift card and I had just enough with a few cents to spare, so I went for the iced pumpkin spice and got a few (four)…

Hello! It’s open window season! Some days anyway…the cooler days are starting to appear more frequently and it makes me so excited! I love to open windows in a room I am working in, whether it be the kitchen or our front room. Our front room has served many different purposes over the years, and…

take life back: simple ways to get back in the game
Hello there! How is the week for you? We have started ballet again! This week we are starting school again! I have felt like over the summer, I have let routine slide and often just responded to life and let it control me! Sometimes I get a little lax and then it feels like life…

make new friends
Hello friend! It’s the first time in quite a while. Yep, I went to the gym for a kickboxing class, and went to a coffee shop all by myself to write! Woohoo! I can tell it’s time for school to begin when people at home get restless and begin to argue a lot. It’s always exciting…

not on my own
Summer days! They look like rec center pool in the mornings, naps (I hope) in the afternoon for the youngest while the big girls often have hot chocolate and watch a hallmark mystery movie in the afternoons. Maybe a little sewing for me… We always have a few mundane chores like laundry folding or sweeping.…

slow to speak
They say “the strongest man you know is a first born daughter.” I laugh! Are any of you a first-born girl? I am raising my hand! I am that girl! As the oldest, I loved babysitting my three younger siblings. The thrill of running the show was real. I always had the answers…so I thought!…
