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,…

Hey! It’s birthday time! I always enjoy my birthday time because it means fall is right here! I celebrated by going to Hobby Lobby, getting my ear pierced with my youngest sister, and eating lunch at McDonald’s so children could play on the amazing playground! I always inevitably think back over my life up to…

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.…

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…

restoration is real
A little spring break happening here! Sometimes ya just need some random items outside to make the best memories. 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 stay chill when life feels overwhelming
Happy Mardi Gras! Yes, we live in Tenn. now, but when we lived in south Miss., we had so much fun learning the culture there and Mardi Gras is a big part! We were able to do outreach to the community with our student ministry during all the parades and experienced wonderful food. This place…
