If you’d asked me 2 months ago if I’d be at home with my kids EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. for 4 glorious weeks, I probably would’ve laughed at you. But here I am, rocking it. And if you believe that, you’ll also probably believe me when I say that I’ve been working out everyday and that I amContinueContinue reading “COVID-19 Our Education at Home Week 4, including Easter Photos to make you smile”

Week 3 COVID 19 “Plan”
I use “plan” with quotations because if I’ve learned anything over these last two weeks that anything and everything we plan could (and probably will) change- from what time kids Zoom meetings are, to whether everyone is feeling up to learning more in the morning or afternoon, whether we will get pulled into a lastContinueContinue reading “Week 3 COVID 19 “Plan””
My Funny Valentine
Wow, guys….. What. A. Week. It’s been one for the record books. There were Valentine’s Day school parties, Garen on the road two days, getting ready for helping with decorations for the school dance, and more “real work” than I can shake a stick at. And then the weekend full of laundry, washing and puttingContinueContinue reading “My Funny Valentine”
Chalkboard Quotes: Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today
A few years back, right after we moved into this house, my sweet mother-in-law gave us this frame. It was another color and didn’t have anything behind it. We debated between using it to hang wreaths or other stuff in it or get a large picture printed for it. But I had wanted a bigContinueContinue reading “Chalkboard Quotes: Be the Reason Someone Smiles Today”
Photo Friday: Lovely Louisiana
We were fortunate to have Christmas with the Odom side of our family at Emilie and Brian’s home in Alexandria, LA. It’s a beautiful place to be. We got to go do some hiking in a nearby national park. Although it was cold and a little damp, we all enjoyed it and it was greatContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Lovely Louisiana”

Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights
As I write this today, I’m recovering (and doing loads and loads of laundry) from our family vacation. It was fantastic and exhausting. We started out last Friday roadtripping down to Galveston with the littles (stay tuned for a post on road trips with toddlers), followed by an afternoon at Schlitterbahn in Galveston. Saturday, weContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights”
Photo Friday: Boy Scouts Spring Camp Out 2018
Will and Garen joined in the fun for the Boy Scout Spring Camp Out a few weeks before school got out, so I probably should’ve already posted this as a Photo Friday post but I have end of school activities to blame. If you have kids, you know how those last few weeks are- fieldContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Boy Scouts Spring Camp Out 2018”
Photo Friday: Brownies
Our Girl Scout troop advanced from Daisies to Brownies on Tuesday night with a great bridging ceremony. We’ve got such a fun and unique group of girls and awesome leaders! We’re looking forward to another great year as Brownies! Here’s a few photos I got from Tuesday’s fun. Unfortunately Garen had to stay home withContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Brownies”
Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner
I have mentioned in a few of my previous posts that I use the Full Focus Planner. I happened upon this wonderful thing on one of the many podcasts that I listen to. It’s been wonderful for me. Here’s what I like about it: It’s black and non-discrete. There’s a lot of flashy journals outContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner”
