Teeth! I hope you all had a great holiday yesterday. We spent the day with friends. We’re enjoying a five day stretch of no school and Blaine off from work… lots of work at home to be done, plus sewing projects and laundry to catch up on. So thankful for a few days to work […]
Ellie Adelaide… just cute.
A little bit of cute to brighten your day… My baby has two new teeth. She has returned to her happy happy self. And to caption this photo… I did what last week?! ME?!
Thanksgiving week, still teething, and improper pronoun usage.
I heard Pierce doing who knows what in the bathroom and hollered at him to find out. He came out and informed me he was scrubbing the toilet. I asked him what he was using, fearful where this was going. “Daddy’s toothbrush.” I cracked up. Of course. “The BIG one, with black on it…” He […]
Baking. Teething. Cleaning. Procrastinating.
So far this week, we’ve had two salt spills and one basil spill. We’re well seasoned around here. Ellie’s teething. And crabby. She doesn’t know what she wants. We don’t know what she wants either. It’s a less than thrilling situation. Ruby held her hands over her chest in the cold outdoors and said she […]
It’s a work in process.
Today I turn 31. It seems so strange. When I was a kid, 30 was old. You’d better have a lot accomplished by 30 because about half your life was over. Now, it seems surreal. I feel like I’m just starting. I have my children’s lives stretched ahead of me, teaching and correcting and feeding […]
TOS Review: Snake Oil
It’s my last review of the year! We’ll close it up with a bang, since all of my children agreed this was the best review product of our year. We got the game Snake Oil from Out of the Box Games. Geared for ages 10 and up, we started out with just Eden (9), Liberty […]
Inching along…
Ruby and Liberty were messing around when school should have been happening instead, and Ruby ended up with a small cut on her backside from Liberty’s pencil. She was mourning the injury when Charlotte expressed concern. “Is poop going to leak out of Ruby’s cut?!” Oh dear. I sent Sterling down to fill the woodstove. […]
TOS Review: Purposeful Design
The Review Crew received the opportunity to review Purposeful Design: Understanding the Creation by Jay Schabacker from Purposeful Design. I received a copy of the hardcover glossy-paged full color 90 page book to review and read with my children. They also offer a free curriculum that I downloaded to use alongside our study. Young Explorer’s Club […]
Pierce: he’s three.
Eden has decided to learn to make bread. It’s been rough, having homemade bread around often. The loaves haven’t been pretty, but they’ve tasted good. Yesterday, when the bowl of dough was rising on the counter, Pierce stuck his finger into the dough and announced, “This feels like your belly, Momma.” Words I’d always longed […]
TOS Review: IXL
We’re wrapping up our year on the Crew! One of the last things I’ve gotten to try this year as part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew was IXL and a subscription to IXL Math and IXL Language Arts for my older five children… even Charlotte, age 4, got to get in on this […]
