As it happened one of our homeschool co-ops was canceled for the day, but the boy’s Mom’s Day Out was still on. I didn’t tell the girls what I had planned. I wanted it to be a surprise and if something had come up then no one would have been disappointed. But all went well… [continue reading]
A child used by God
Every once in a while one of my children will really surprise me. On a day to day basis it seems like I struggle with parenting. Sometimes realizing things I’m doing wrong and trying to work on them. Other times I’m wondering if anything I say or do will ever get though to the kids. … [continue reading]
A new season of Upward Basketball
Grandpa came to see the girl’s first game of the year. I thought it was so sweet for him to come and cheer them on. It is an incredibly busy season with practice and games taking three days a week, but the season is only six weeks long. So it will be fun, crazy, and… [continue reading]

A new addition to our family

School Christmas Program

Girl Time
Over the month of December our Classical Conversations Community doesn’t meet, but where the boys go to Mom’s Day Out still meets for the first two weeks of December. So that gave us girls two Tuesdays without the little boys. On the first Tuesday we spent the entire day cleaning out the girls rooms. I… [continue reading]
Mommy and Me time at Burger Box
One of the positive things that came out of all Faith’s tooth problems is that she and I got to spend quite a bit of time alone going back and forth to the doctors. You would think that finding one-on-one time with kids as a stay at home mom wouldn’t be a big issue, but… [continue reading]
Imaginative Crafting Box
I am not a crafty mom. I’m just not. Drawing and coloring of any kind is on the top of my least favorite things to do list, right up there with sewing. But my kids love all things crafty, and I think that’s great. As a non crafty mom I do facilitate their craftiness. See… [continue reading]
