The Fourth Be With Us

My blog post title made sense in my head, but when I typed it out, it didn’t really. I kept it anyways.  This was the FOURTH year that our boys have gotten to attend Star Wars Night at our public library.  A completely free, and completely wonderful simple event for the littles. I honestly can’t […]

Playing Catch Up!

Break week is here! One of the few weeks of the school year that we have had barely any plans, and we can hunker down and be lazy. Kind of. I still have had a few sessions, and there’s always work to be done, but for the most part, we are trying to chill and […]

Five

Dear Carter, Today you are five. Not possible. You are tiny. You are mighty. You are one of our greatest gifts in this life. You are more loved than you know, and I marvel at you everyday. At your humor. Your stories. Your bravery and joy of thrilling adventures, but your hatred for losing. You […]

Birthday Week has Begun!

In Carter’s book, Saturday was “the best day ever!” Though his real birthday isn’t until Friday, he had his birthday party this past Saturday.  We used to have birthdays at our own house, and we could invite everyone we wanted.  But the prep/cleanup and anxiety about the parties was more than I thought I could handle for […]

Cover my Head and Scream

There are days where it seems things aren’t going well. . . and I’d like to run into my room and cover my head with a pillow and scream.  It’s not very often–I’m normally pretty good at carrying a large amount of stress.  But sometimes it just builds and builds and I feel like a […]

Slow Winter Days

Winter days are slow.  We are less ambitious.  There are no huge projects going on, and we are totally fine with that.  The house is staying clean, but there’s no landscaping to upkeep.  No weeds to pull.  No pool to keep clear.  No grass to mow.  No outdoor toys to keep organized.  My hatred of […]

Enter: Activity Juggling

In the past, we’ve signed up Brayden for a few things here and there.  Art class a couple of times a year.  Soccer in the summer.  Baseball in the spring.  And I think that’s been it. But in the beginning of January, things sort of exploded around here. We decided our kids needed to be […]

To Everything There is a Season: January is for cleaning up

January is a time of new beginnings.  And for me, that means cleaning up everything.  Not just physical things. . . like cleaning up the house.  That’s definitely something I do–and cleaning up on my laundry habits has been top priority for January.  But also, I’ve cleaned up some business items.  I updated my online […]

Little Tumbler

Carter’s new love is gymnastics class.  He’s only had a few classes, but he’s hooked.  The gymnastics center near our house is just full of things–all sorts of things. . . and the place seems gigantic.  Each week they do three separate stations, and the stations are different each class, which I think is great.  Carter […]
