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,…

41 lessons
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.…

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!…

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…

helpful habits for new beginnings
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…

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?…

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…

discipling the big ones
We celebrated 100 school days! It was cold outside, so grilled cheese seemed like a good idea. This is considered a “fancy” lunch since it doesn’t look like this everyday, but this was a celebratory lunch! Dental visits happened, so we make it an outing. Chick-fil-A is, of course, part of the event! It’s also…
