Eden and Sterling are at Rodeo Bible Camp. Again. This has been a summer full of missing children. Sterling is learning rodeo clowning/bull fighting. It sounds like he’s having a blast. Eden is working on chute dogging once more. The kids called today. Told me about all the hurt cowboys. Broken bones. Seizures. Punctured arteries […]
Branches.
Happy Independence Day! I know. I’m late. My Thursday started out with a news article from my mom. A girl in Iowa had been killed from a tree branch. She’d been swinging on it or on a swing hanging from it, the article was unclear. The branch broke off and landed on her. This scenario […]
Liberty Skye: Sweet 16.
Somewhere along the line, my smallest baby, tiniest toddler, and most petite little girl grew. And grew. And now she looks me in the eye and we measure our differences in height in not inches but by fractions of an inch. She’ll pass me sooner than later. And today, she turned 16. Her new driver’s […]
Stellan goes on a bear hunt.
Stellan LOVES the book Going On a Bear Hunt. We borrowed it from the library and he promptly memorized the whole thing. I ordered him his own copy. It’ll be here tomorrow, but it’s a surprise. I’m so excited for him. I even made him a bear hunt T-shirt when I found a clearance tee […]
Rodeo Bible Camp 2019
Liberty and Eden just finished Rodeo Bible Camp. I survived. Enjoyed the week with my younger kids, even. They played together like never before. Usually they venture off in groups of two or three, but the whole time the big girls were gone they all six played together. The net swing got more use than […]
Savings Accounts, VBS, and an Army of Six
School is finished. Finally. The last subject hung over Liberty and Eden, and in exchange, over me, for the last month. Ultimatums may have been issued regarding horses and books and phones and makeup. (You know, all the important things to teenaged girls.) One of those threats must have worked they finished. Hallelujah, they are […]
Review: Hey, Mama! Homeschool Planner for 2019/20
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 […]
