Homebodies
December 13th, 2011 — Books, Family, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home, The Homestead
I’m not normally one to brag, but this is just too good not to share. Today, I left the house. With all 3 kids. Impressed? Well, maybe you’re not, but I am. I haven’t accomplished this feat in weeks. I’ve had some serious conditional agoraphobia. The condition being that I would only leave the house alone…. Continue reading →
Why Can’t Every Day Be Like Today?
December 5th, 2011 — Family, Food, Homeschool, Kids, Motherhood, The Homestead
Or should I say, why can’t I be like this every day? I was, how do you say….ON IT, today. We successfully got through everything I planned in school. I delegated some stuff to the kids (like switching out loads of laundry), which helped out immensely. They did it, mostly without grumbles. They watched Howl’s… Continue reading →
Poopy Icky Morning Turns Into Not Awful Afternoon
November 28th, 2011 — Ambleside Online, Family, Homeschool, Kids, Picture-Heavy, Shenanigans
This morning was rough. Bri was in tears after roughly 34 seconds of her French lesson. Eli wasn’t comprehending anything I was reading to him. Fiona was clingy and whiney and full of toddler angst. It was not pretty. All was not lost, though. Nay, something good actually came from the crap laden festival that… Continue reading →
Turkeys and Happiness
I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving this year was as happy and drool-inducing as mine was. It was a long day, filled with cooking in the kitchen with the husband, wrangling wildebeesty children, and visiting with family. My mom has been here for a couple of days, which is so nice! Brian’s dad came over, too, though… Continue reading →
Why Make 1 Big Change When You Can Make 6?
September 12th, 2011 — Family, Homeschool, Motherhood
So goes my motto these days. Did you miss me? I’ve been a busy bee and this may be my last post for another span of months and I won’t feel the least bit guilty because I’ll be busy. Alternately cleaning something, coding something, teaching someone, drinking coffee or maybe sleeping. But probably not. Since… Continue reading →
Missing All That ‘Free’ Computer Time…
July 13th, 2011 — Family, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home
You know, back when I was gainfully employed at a full-time desk job? Yeah. These days, I have yet to find a rhythm that allows me to care for the kids and find any time to get on the computer most days. At least not before about 9 pm. And then work calls. Thus, Ye… Continue reading →
Day at the Children’s Museum, Indianapolis
June 26th, 2011 — Family
My mother-in-law was generous enough to gift us with 4 tickets to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum a couple months ago. It was getting to the point where we really needed to use them, as they were about to expire. Thankfully, my momma was here to visit this past weekend, because the idea of taking all… Continue reading →
Happy Father’s Day!
If ever there was an apt time to dedicate a post to my husband and the father of my children, it’s today. In honor of the man who stands by me through all my craziness, sexy and unsexiness, banshee-like screeching and calm tranquility, here are 5 reasons why I adore The Huz. 1. He still… Continue reading →
Days 2-3: Bad Then Better
June 15th, 2011 — Family, Motherhood, Shenanigans, Stay-At-Home
I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Yesterday effing sucked. I found myself questioning this WHOLE thing. What the hell was I thinking, assuming I could handle this staying at home with the (3) kids business? I was drowning, fast. We had to get out of the house and it had to be immediately. So I… Continue reading →
