Life can be crazy sometimes. In many worlds, this life of mine can be considered crazy all the time. If there isn’t someone leaning on me, pestering me, waiting for me, or whining at me, it must be midnight. If someone isn’t hungry, tired, or desperately needing to use the bathroom while we’re 5,000 steps […]
Lamb feeding photos.
I’m not sure words are needed here. They had fun. The got to experience lots of things. It was really, really cold. Really cold. The difference in temperature between there last week at this time and the temp today here is 90 degrees. It’s pretty incredible.
Borax.
Edited to add: Boy, the qualities of Borax must be under appreciated! I drew numbers and Laura, Lanita, and Sharilyn, your entries were randomly picked for the coupons. Congrats! Borax and I have been good friends for a long time. I originally bought it to make my own detergent, and since then I’ve found it […]
One of those mysteries…
The kids got to see a lamb born. As far as I could see, one potentially awkward future conversation just got a whole lot easier. I thought. The question about how the lambs came to be was next. I mentioned rams. They said Grandpa didn’t have any rams out there. I assured them he must […]
South Dakota days.
My dad has long made up words for old songs. The “Oh Christmas Tree” song with a line in there about green teeth instead of a green tree comes to mind from my growing up years. Not much has changed. As “The weather outside is frightful” got it’s line change yesterday, Ruby was present and […]
Horrible.
Sterling is a horrible looker. Horrible. He comes to the house, upset, because he’d lost his glasses in the snow. Perfect. I pried the rest of the story out of him. He’d been playing in the snow, realized he was going to get snow on his glasses, so he took them off and, when he […]
I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
I’m a big fan of language. Proper English and spelling are requirements in my home school. Last week Liberty’s English had her studying possessive nouns and pronouns and I drove a point home. “Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes. Never. Ever. Ever. Do not ever, ever put an apostrophe in hers, his, ours, its… The contractions […]
Weary travelers and a cold, frustrated momma.
You know you’ve been up for a long time when Ruby asks for lunch at 9:19 am. We’re in South Dakota. The drive took 10.5 hours and we stopped twice. It doesn’t get much better than that with six kids. No one peed their pants and there was minimal crying – and none of it […]
A little road trip in the planning…
We’re planning a trip to South Dakota. My parents have a little sheep farm there, and this week they start lambing. Can anyone say what a good life experience this is for my kids? It’s a homeschool field trip on steroids! So, we pack. We’ll head up for a week and a half, the kids […]
Dial Complete Foaming Hand Wash
Purex sent me Dial Complete Foaming Hand Wash a few weeks ago to try out. It’s been a fun thing to try! As a bar soap die hard (becoming such after computing how much we were spending on liquid hand soap with 16 hands being washed numerous times each day) I rather looked forward to […]
