It’s been a while since I posted a review on here! I’ve continued to do reviews for the Old Schoolhouse’s website, but nothing on my blog. I was given the opportunity to review Hey, Mama! Homeschool Planner for 2019/20 Year by Gena Suarez for The Old Schoolhouse® and received a planner in exchange for an unbiased […]
Camping: Memorial Day 2019
Our campsite was flooded, so they gave us another. Turns out 90% of the campground was flooded and we were one of half a dozen campers in the whole campground. We swam ON the road of the flooded site we were supposed to be on. The water was over even my head. It was crazy. […]
Run, Momma, Run.
First morning at the campsite had me outside in my pj’s, watching Stellan on his bike. He was over the moon about flat paved surfaces to ride on. He rode back and forth in front of the camper, and had strict instructions to turn around before the hill. The hill was steep and headed straight […]
Happy Memorial Day!
We’re headed to camp tonight. We’d planned to go last night, but tornadoes and flooding at the campground kept us away. They assigned us a new site and we planned to head up today. Torrential rain happened overnight. We woke up to huge rust torn out of our driveway where water cut its path down […]
Stormy Adventures
Last night we had a tornado threat. Co-op let out early in an attempt to get people home before the storms hit us. It hit in many places fairly close by, and people very close had damage from wind with trees falling. We spent a chunk of time in the basement without electricity, but that […]
Happy Easter, new job, contacts, skinny horses, and missing chicks.
It’s been a super busy week. Liberty had her interview and was hired at Braum’s. She worked Friday for the first time. The elementary kids had their spring musical at co-op. We’re wrapping up more subjects for school. I got contact lenses for the first time in twelve years. Liberty decided she was going to […]
I’m old.
So… the lice thing was anticlimactic. I kept combing and never found another thing that looked remotely suspicious. I have continued to check children randomly. Nothing. I panicked over nothing. I’ve never been so thrilled to have been wrong. We were moving the chicken tractor… 600 pound coop on two wheels… and I tripped and […]
One of my worst fears.
We got to go flying this week for the flight school I do the bookkeeping for. This time Liberty and Ruby got to go too. I dosed up both with anti nausea meds. If they helped… I’d hate to see what it would have been like without them. Liberty did okay, slightly nauseous, but she […]
Just. Keep. Going.
We’re starting to wrap up school for the year. A couple kids finished handwriting, and today Sterling finished PreAlgebra. Pierce is days away from finishing his math. We’ve signed up for classes next year for co-op. I rather love the beginning of the end of the school year. Finally, the end is in sight. Kids […]
A night in the life.
Bear with me for a moment while I log an evening in the life. Someday I’ll be glad I wrote this down, because things get forgotten when seasons pass. I walked into the kitchen to make supper. Potluck prep for the potluck after church the next day was also needing to happen. Both Liberty and […]
