Sterling loves to write notes. I get several every day. They usually say I’m the best mom ever. Sometimes they ask for something specific for supper. It’s his favorite method of communication… he’ll spend ten minutes writing a note instead of ten seconds saying it aloud. Who knows why? Sterling handed Blaine this note this […]
Chaos is becoming the new norm around here.
Chaos. Sheer chaos. I imagine the fact that there are quite a few children running around these parts, and likely a little bit just because they are children, but chaos reigns. One dear child decided to do the heave-ho grab, wrapped arms around Pierce’s legs and picked him up in one less than smooth move. He […]

Liberty has been using My Student Logbook with the horses cover for the last month and a half or so. Tracking her schoolwork and chores, My Student Logbook is a fun company offering a student planner in a variety of fun prints to help your student be organized. Offered in a dated for the school […]
If… Then.
If you ever wake up without a voice, have seven kids to tend to, four to homeschool, your husband is out of town, and your nearly three year old son decides to put lanolin in his hair in lieu of hair gel, take note. Blue Dawn dish soap washes it out. It’ll take several tries, […]
What they’re up to these days:
Ellie Adelaide now has two teeth. She’s six and a half months old, and enjoying chewing on any food she can get her fist on. The last few babies, I’ve not pureed anything for them, but given them lots of foods to feed themselves as they will. She loves it. She also loves gritting her […]
Caterpillar Adventures
Charlotte has a Most Amazing Co-op Teacher. She loves her class, and talks about all they learn. It’s impressive. The first week of co-op, Charlotte – and each of the K4 students – came home with a Painted Lady Caterpillar. While I thought, many times, we’d killed the poor thing, this morning’s caterpillar check revealed […]
TOS Review: 7 Minute Life Daily Planner
Recently, I was asked to review The 7 Minute Life Daily Planner from The 7 Minute Life for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew. I received a 7.3 x 8.5 inch, 271 page undated planner from them for this review. The 7 Minute Life is based on the premise that the average person’s attention span is only […]
Sewing bored.
Blaine is traveling for work this weekend and part of next week. Tonight, at 10pm when all the kids were asleep, I sat on the chair, not sure what to do with myself. I dug around for the closest matching fabric I could find without waking Ellie mere inches away, raided the bias tape I […]
It’s a girl!
Alexandra had a GIRL!!! I couldn’t be more thrilled… pretty sure she’s still just in shock. After four boys, I think she’d rather expected another one. In blog nickname fashion, this one will go by her middle name on my blog… Rachele. For the record, this proud aunt couldn’t be more excited to share my […]
A Perfect Gift
Sunday, Sterling presented me with a gift. He’d been hard at work for a couple days on it, and his pride in his work was immense. He’d hauled a pallet up to Blaine’s shop in the backyard, marked it, cut it with his hand saw, sanded it down, had Blaine help him drill holes for […]
