  • the “get it all done” trap

    Laundry folded? Yes. Laundry put away…remind kids to put their piles away. EK needs to sweep so I can ideally mop the floor of the kitchen. I love walking barefoot on a clean kitchen floor. Did I remind them to pick up the toys in the play room? Oh, gotta do the usual weekly grocery…

  • what time is it? summer time!

    We have a few more days of ballet until spring show which marks the end of the ballet year and church activities have slowed for a respite. We do a little “school fair” at the end of each year where everyone will save special projects or work they are extra proud of and display them…

    Hello there! Got a coffee or tea today? What is going on in your world? I would love to meet you all in person, but this is the next best thing. As adults, we don’t often get a break from real life work, chores, or school, but it’s important to have fun when possible. Here…

  • lessons learned that aren’t just for kids

    Hello there! It’s summer break around here! I am more excited than my students, the big girls, are! We went to a new place in town to celebrate and of course, it began to rain as we pulled in, and stormed like crazy as we drank our fun drinks. No complaints, though, since I absolutely…

  • sharp and alert

    Hello there!  School is almost out and that means bare feet outside, lunches on the patio, and getting muddy in sprinklers. Slides are so fun! I also love afternoon scooter time! Frisbees are fun for hours as well! At this time of year, we celebrated Izzy Grace’s second birthday! Who loves a tutu and tiara?…

  • I am seen

    Hello friends! It’s another ordinary day here at our place! It’s “quiet time,” which means finishing up schoolwork for the older ones or napping for the littler ones. “Nap” could mean an actual quiet hour or might mean I’m putting people back in bed a few times. You know, Raegan gave me these “flowers” yesterday and…

When school begins again after spring break and with McDonald’s so close to home, it’s fun to get a treat there as a morning break! It’s nice to go just the two of us. Sometimes people…

  • how to avoid being a bullying victim

    Happy Spring Break! I’m loving this open windows weather here this week! We are out of school, eating outside, and playing ball in the yard. The change from snow to these mild temperatures makes my soul feel alive! We are not going anywhere exotic, or anywhere at all, but I got coffee two days in…

  • becoming an effective person: ways that are free and require no specific talent

    Hello lovelies! How is the week? We were able to give a friend a small birthday party after ballet class this week by baking a simple cake and I embroidered a bag tag for her. It feels great to be able to do something kind and unexpected for someone. I often think if what I…
