Home School in the Woods offers a selection of hands-on history unit studies for a variety of ages. When a review for one of their studies was offered for review, I was pretty excited. History this summer was my plan, so I excitedly chose Project Passport World History Study: Renaissance & Reformation as my first […]
Friday’s photo[s] 7/17/15
It’s been a long week. It’s hot. 90° inside the house without a/c and 3 months pregnant is miserable. Apparently, someone wanted to make me feel better. I found this in my flower (and rock) garden: Someone got the memo that my much coveted rose bush didn’t survive the winter, I think. Monday, we start […]
Water Babies
Swimming all evening is exhausting work. Pierce, though, thinks he can swim as well without his life jacket as he can with it. He propelled himself in the 8 foot deep end, didn’t resurface, and had to be rescued in a terrifying moment. He didn’t even take it water, sputter, or act like it was […]
School: dress rehearsal
Yesterday, we jumped in with school plans. I swore after last year’s first day of school, we’d have a run through the Friday before we started. We’d get books out, them put them back, label notebooks, check pencil and crayon stashes, make appropriate copies, and be ready come Monday. We found out Sterling’s math book […]

TOS Review: CursiveLogic
When a review opportunity from CursiveLogic for their CursiveLogic Workbook came up, the only dilemma I faced was which dear child to have work on this. Sterling and Ruby both learned cursive last year without a curriculum as I taught them A-Z, one letter at a time. It was a painful, tedious, and tear-inducing process. […]
Baby #8: 11 weeks
I met my new OB yesterday. While the process makes me cringe after the simplicity of homebirth and midwives who do all the work from paperwork, blood pressure, and checking labs themselves, it went fine. They handed me a lovely tablet to fill out more personal details than any doc has the right to know… […]
Ellie and Life These Days
Ellie had to try out the swimming goggles. Clearly, they weren’t as great as expected. She took a nose dive on concrete last week. Tomorrow I see an ob for the first time for this pregnancy. At this point, I plan a hospital birth instead of a home birth. Strange to give up a dream, […]
Maisie and Brady
Dogs are not my favorite. I know, that’s so wrong, but… I tolerate them. Rather, we tolerate each other. They carry fleas and lick and jump up on me when they are muddy. I just… tolerate. We have two dogs now, Brady and Maisie. Brady is a tiny 8½ pound 5 year old yorkie/poodle. Maisie […]
My oldest and my youngest: crazy.
Liberty turned 12 last Friday. It’s hard to believe. It just seems so big. I remember being 12! She asked if she could make her own cake with the Care Bear pan. Most definitely! She picked out a recipe for white cake from my mom… A cake of my childhood. She made herself cream cheese […]
