Thanks to a lovely post reminder by my dear friend Shana this week, I am bringing back It’s the Little Things Thursday, even if only for this week! Not only do I love what it stands for, but I love the icon my hubby and I created for it as well. Awhile back I spent […]
Being not only a stay-at-home parent, but a homeschooling parent as well, I spend LOTS of time with my children. My brood consists of only 3 children and yet I swear I can’t even think one whole complete sentence all day! I know that being a stay-at-home parent is right for me. I remember […]
LIVE LIKE THE CHILD Live like the child in the present. Cherish each moment somehow! Glory in life as it passes, … Hold and delight in the now. Walk in the light of the present. Live every moment as last, Dimmed not by the rays of the future, Nor clouded by shades of the past. […]
Seeing as my friend Shana keeps beating me to my own posts, I decided that I should mention her here! For whatever reason she gets her “Little Things” post up WAY before I seem to even start mine, let alone get it posted! I usually use my “Little Things” post as a reminder to […]
Earlier this week I was thinking about the things I have been working on with Ava and where I might like to start working on new things. She recognizes numbers 1- 12 and can count to at least 50. She can count by 5s and 10s as well. I thought to myself, “wouldn’t it […]
This post is very late going up today. Life has been busy this week with the addition of Oscar, our new 4 month old Bichon that we brought home with us on Tuesday. Chloe has been pushing hard for a puppy and I told her I would consider it if she saved her money […]
It has been awhile since I have done one of these posts. I have not only been busy and not feeling very inspired, but also discouraged that my “baby” has not caught on at all. Two weeks ago I posted about what love and selflessness Jayden showed to Chloe after she lost all her money […]
It is no secret to those of you who follow my blog that I have been a little, well, uninspired and lax with my blog recently. Yesterday something happened that was more than noteworthy. So here I sit, in the wee hours of the morning, hammering out these words that lifted my spirits and gave […]
These days I feel totally unorganized, unplanned, and unruly, but for the most part, happy. We are BUSY living life, and living in the moment. Plans come and go, activities happen, even the house is somewhat in order, and all without me doing too much stressing over it. I only say all this to make […]
Last week about this time I was working on wrapping up my paperwork and binders for this past year. That includes closing out my Homeschool Tracker for the year, emptying binders, putting away work that was completed this year into a bin, etc. In doing this, I print out a Summary and a Report Card […]
This past week we had friends over to play. It just so happens that Bryn and Jayden get along very well together. Bryn’s mom, Kelly, and I were laughing about how Bryn had asked to have a sleepover with Jayden a couple of weeks ago. Then this past week she had a dream about kissing […]
This week I have been in a funk. There is no other way to explain in but to say “a funk”. Last night I had a great Walk n Talk with Shana where we started a plot for our continuing education plans. I am excited about the thought of exercising my brain for something I […]
