My computer crashed! I’m so sorry I’ve been absent for a while. As I write, I’m borrowing a computer, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to write again. Things have been crazy around here, but here are some highlights. My husband started a second job. He’s been exhausted and it’s a tough adjustment … Continue reading

Our First Homeschooling Meltdown
When I first chose our schooling curriculum, I had no idea what to look for. I did some research and decided all we really needed somethings that complied with state and federal standards (in case we needed or wanted Tyke 1 to return to a standard school). We also needed something affordable. So far, the … Continue reading
Camping Photo-palooza!
I learned a few important things about camping. 1. I really love it. 2. Weathermen lie. 3. My husband is amazing, which I somehow manage to forget and camping really puts him in his element. 4. Rain doesn’t really bother any of us or ruin our fun. Leaky tents, however, do. Now for the pictures … Continue reading
Camping: The Anticipation, The Anxiety, The Endless Prep
Tomorrow my husband and I are leaving to take our two boys camping for 4 days and 3 nights. Our boys are 6 and not-quite-2. Generally, I enjoy camping, but I’ve only been camping once as an adult. That time, money wasn’t really an issue, so it required much less preparation. Plus, I didn’t have … Continue reading
One Proud Mama
Just a quick note here-today is CRAZY. My husband was home 1/2 day (in the morning) which threw off our schedule. He’s been working a lot this week, so I wanted to make sure the kids got to see him, therefore, we post-poned school until he left with the hope of taking advantage of the … Continue reading
How Homeschooling Changed the Way I View Hobbies
I’m still a novice in the homeschooling world, but I have to say that I am so happy we made this decision. My son is already reading Step 1 readers completely independently and Stage 2 with only minimal help. In little over a month, he added 27 new sight words to his repertoire, he’s excited … Continue reading
New Look…Again

More Baby Fever…
No, I’m not pregnant..but I can’t help hoping and obsessing. These are the things running through my head: Things I am TERRIFIED of (ranked according to level of fear): 1. Morning Sickness 2. Dislocating joints (in 2nd and 3rd trimester thanks to my stupid hypermobility). 3. Round ligament pain 4. Anxiety over miscarriage until “the … Continue reading
My Slight Neurosis
I am a complete clean freak. If our living room is even a little messy I have a hard time relaxing and enjoying a television show. My husband thinks I’m crazy. It’s more important to him that I spend time with him and the boys than that the house is spotless. I’m super grateful for … Continue reading
Where We’ve Been
I haven’t posted in a few days. Labor Day really threw us for a loop! We had to still maintain our hours for the week, so that meant cramming 5 days of work into 4. Stick Boy did great though. He just buckled down and got straight to work every day. We worked through our … Continue reading
