When I asked Cami what she wanted to do yesterday while the other kids were at “Flexi-school”, she said she wanted to go to the fair. It seems little traveling fairs do creep up here quite often, but usually not during the week. I tried to come up with the next best thing and could [...]

The older two kids attend a special Homeschool “School” one day a week. It is quite a distance from where we live so I’ve been trying to come up with some fun things to do with the younger girls while we are out that way. So, this week we went on a ‘Wind in the [...]

This hasn’t ever been a big holiday for me, although I admit I have some Irish heritage and want to do better about making more of it. So, we took things slow and had some fun with food. Yesterday the younger girls and I made some rainbow cupcakes. Of course, we had to sample a [...]

The last couple weeks we’ve been working on a big project . . refinishing our big blanket chest. This was given to us as a hand-me-down by a friend many years and a few moves ago. It came with a few scrapes and bumps and we had added our own. Frankly, it was beginning to [...]

Today was our big race that the kids and I had registered for. There were some nerves, but there was also a great deal of excitement. I have wanted to do a 5K for awhile now but didn’t want to do it by myself so my friend, Lisa, jumped up and volunteered herself and her [...]

It’s General Conference time again! I am so excited for this weekend! The kids are anxious to have monkey bread Sunday morning and work on their activity papers. One fun thing that I have wanted to do for awhile and finally got to it this time around was making General Conference Baskets for the gals [...]

Fall has started to arrive in our neck of the woods. I wish this meant that the leaves are starting to change colors or that the weather has officially become sweatshirt weather, but that hasn’t happened yet. What it does mean is that acorns fall in plenty into our yard and driveway. During any time [...]
