Thirteen years ago today, Blaine and I were married. It’s been the happiest, craziest, most stressful, shortest, fullest years of my life. The first two years were, honestly, awful. I spent the first nine months pregnant and horribly sick. I had massive amounts of growing up to do. I was 18, Blaine was 25 when […]
It’s a…
Our 20 week ultrasound was a few weeks ago, and we found out we’re having boy! We haven’t known the gender of our babies except for Sterling and Ruby before they were born, so finding out was pretty fun and different. Our pattern is broken. We’ve had girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl… boy! […]
The days are full, the hours are short… and the house is a wreck!
I can’t keep up. I know. Shocker, that. This week I started out with an 8:10am doctor appointment for Ruby Monday morning. Might as well get the week started out right. That day had enough errands to keep us running until 3pm, and the kids got school done in the van. It’s scary how adaptable […]
TOS Review: Stinky Kid Math
We’ve been working on Stinky Kid Math for a review with the Old Schoolhouse Magazine. Liberty (12) and Eden (10) have both been given a 6 month subscription to Stinky Kid Math for the purpose of this review. Entirely online, Stinky Kid Math is a math help – not intended (but likely fairly capable) to […]
Maisie’s making ME crazy.
Yesterday, one of the kids had a doctor appointment. I expected it to take ten minutes. It did… after we waited in the exam room for an hour waiting for the doc. Why couldn’t we have stayed in the waiting room for that hour, where there was a train table and a plethora of toys? […]
Ruby’s 7, Baby’s a Baby, and other moments of insanity.
I had my 20 week ultrasound last week. Halfway there! Everything looked good. Yes, we found out what we’re having. Strange, since we’ve only found out with Sterling and Ruby before now. I rather love knowing. No, I’m not ready to spill the beans here. We told the kids this morning. That wasn’t nearly as […]
Back to co-op photos
Before we headed out this morning, I lined up the kids for photos. Without further ado… Liberty, entering 7th. Age 12. Eden, entering 6th. Age 10. Sterling, entering 3rd. Age 8. Ruby, entering 3rd. Age 6 years, +363 days. Charlotte, entering kindergarten. Age 4, +340 days. Pierce, entering K4. Age 3, +335 days. Elliot, entering […]
Review: Flight School
When Jason McIntire emailed me and said he’d written a new book and asked it I’d be interested in reviewing it, having reviewed several before for him and for Elisha Press, I jumped at it. My girls have fallen in love with the characters in The Sparrow Found A House and this is a sequel titled […]
Co-op: Day 1.
We start co-op today. I’m pretty sure it’s the day my kids look forward to most all year. They have outfits picked out, backpacks packed, and the day started bright and early. We decided to do speech and debate this year – this means we leave the house by 9:15am and get home after 5pm. […]
Sterling
Sterling was running, tripped, and skinned his knee the other day. It was the first time in his life he’d skinned a knee. Sterling is eight years old. The dear, careful child who crawled for seven months, who didn’t walk until he was 19 months old because he wanted to be good and sure he wouldn’t […]
