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 […]
TOS Review: Circle C Adventures
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew was given the opportunity to review the new book, Tales from the Circle C Ranch by Susan K. Marlow from Circle C Adventures. For this review, I received the paperback copy of Tales from the Circle C Ranch and the PDF file of Andrea Carter’s Tales from the Circle C Ranch […]
Eight.
So I made a new shirt for Ellie. It suits her very well. Although, she doesn’t seem to want to discuss it. In fact, she promptly took herself elsewhere. After making a slight protest. And then she buried herself in something else. January 2016.
Hold that tongue, child. For your own safety, just don’t say it.
Pierce has said it before. He’s becoming redundant. Annoyingly redundant. Eden presented the dough she and Liberty were ready to punch down and form into buns for supper and Pierce took one look at it and exclaimed, “That looks like your belly, Momma!” Pierce is NOT my favorite person right now. Edited to add […]
Meet: Demanding Child and the One Who Does Her Bidding
Since traveling to South Dakota and home again, Ellie has been a bear. Naps have been scattered and much fought and bedtime is a screamfest. She hates her bed, she wants to sleep with someone else, and she’s a determined sort in her fury when she doesn’t get exactly what she wants. I’m pretty sure […]
I’ll just pick one out and take it home…
Liberty’s birthday is in a few weeks. She’ll be twelve. I’m at a loss as to what to give her for her birthday. She wants a horse. Unfortunately, a horse isn’t the only part of that equation. The fencing, feed, tack… yeah. It’s past my birthday budget. Ruby overheard a conversation with Blaine while we […]
