Sterling had to get new glasses… again… because his dear brother broke them… again… so instead of blue, he chose the same frame in black. He’s pretty happy. I loved the blue, but he tells me that was so yesterday. In other news, my flower beds are oh so colorful right now. It makes me […]
You know those weeks where you’re stressed to the max and nothing is getting accomplished properly? When I have those, blogging falls by the wayside. I’ve been having those kinds of days. On the bright side, we had the rest of the older kids eye appointments yesterday and Pierce didn’t poop on the floor again. […]
The story of us. Part twelve.
Read part one here. Read part two here. Read part three here. Read part four here. Read part five here. Read part six here. Read part seven here. Read part eight here. Read part nine here. Read part ten here. Read part eleven here. I managed to hold onto my news until Blaine got home. […]
Get the little sister to do it.
Overheard between Charlotte and Ruby: “You just swing your hand like this and it’ll fly away.” Charlotte stood, hand raised above the moth, frozen in fear. “Charlie!

Education: beginning again.
These four children started back to school today. Ruby’s in kindergarten. Sterling’s in first grade. Eden’s in fourth grade. Liberty’s in fifth grade. Momma’s in shock. These two have the sole responsibility to keep themselves busy – and out of trouble – during our educating hours. Deep breath. I can do this. We did it […]
TOS Review: Baker Publishing
I’ve had the opportunity these last few weeks to review two paperback fiction books from Baker Publishing Group as part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew. I received Life with Lily and A New Home for Lily, both written by Mary Ann Kinsinger and Suzanne Woods Fisher. Written for ages 8-12 and chronicling the […]
Never mind.
While at my parents, I learned to use their zero-turn lawnmower. Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty cool. So fast! So when I got back home and was working on the lawn Saturday, I had the momentary thought. “Man, this would go so much faster with a zero-turn mower instead of […]
Itchy itchy.
One poor boy got a mosquito bite. On. His. Ear.
