I’ve been calling what we were/are doing with our kids homeschool. I get it that it’s not homeschool because what homeschool parents do is way cooler than anything I’m coming up with and includes field trips (although digital field trips now abound). So, whatever it is we’re doing, we’re all doing the best we canContinue reading “Days 6 & 7: COVID-19 Whatever You Call This Time at Home with Kids”

Our Weekday Schedule for Working at Home with Four Kids (during COVID-19 Pandemic)
As most school districts have, our’s has closed for the next two weeks to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Our daycare/pre-school has also elected to close, meaning the four kids (11, almost 9, 4, and 4) are at home. I office out of our house when I’m not on the road. Garen’s company hasContinue reading “Our Weekday Schedule for Working at Home with Four Kids (during COVID-19 Pandemic)”
Photo Friday: Willy P, Basketball Star
Will started playing basketball. He’s having a blast. He’s got a great coach and assistant coach and I think he enjoys playing with his teammates even though none of them go to his school. We signed up through the YMCA and I have to say that I’m been pretty impressed with the organization and howContinue reading “Photo Friday: Willy P, Basketball Star”
Whoooooo are you?
Figure out who you are and then do it on purpose. – Dolly Parton Such a fantastic quote. It is tomorrow’s quote of the day for Tuesday in my planner. I just recently watched the popular Netflix movie, Duplin’. It was fantastic. I’m not going to say much more because I hate spoilers but thisContinue reading “Whoooooo are you?”
Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust
I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”
Adventures with Four: Roadtrip to See Grandad at the Blowin’ O
My Grandad (my dad’s dad) is my last living grandparent. He’s had a couple of strokes in the last year or so and has had a rough time in general since my Granny has passed. It’s to be expected when you’ve lived a good, long life and lost your wife of 65 years. Currently, he’sContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Roadtrip to See Grandad at the Blowin’ O”
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, weContinue reading “Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights”
Mommy Review Monday: Panera Bread App
It’s been a while since I’ve written a Mommy Review Monday but was spurred into thinking of it today because this app is something I feel I should share. Since I’m on the road this week, I enjoyed a lovely meal from Panera Bread. (Half Turkey BLT and Half Green Goddess Salad). I pulled outContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Panera Bread App”
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 outContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Full Focus Planner”
Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road
I’m on the road a lot for work. Eating healthy on the road is hard. Extra hard when you love food and you use food as a way to keep you entertained and/or you have a 3-4 hour drive. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately to make it work: Pack my lunch and snacks when IContinue reading “Wellness Wednesday: Eating Healthy on the Road”
