If you’re just tuning in, I’m finally winding down a series of posts covering our first year in homeschooling. It’s been such a wild and crazy year, and putting it to words only affirms my belief that this is absolutely the right thing for us. In the last week, I’ve talked about why we homeschool, the method we use,… Continue reading Homeschool Wrap Up: Year 1
I know I don’t have to tell you guys I’m a flawed individual right? I’m fortunate enough to have people to remind me of my missteps and course-correct me when I fail, and so, I’m doing a little revisit to yesterday’s post. I don’t intend to make a habit of deleting posts- I like the… Continue reading Let’s try that again

My first Thanksgiving away from retail! And what to do with the time…it’s been a busy few days 🙂 xoxo
Can I tell you an embarrassing story? At face value, it’s kind of impressive. And then it’s embarrassing. And then it’s a little pitiful. I have a love-hate relationship with birthdays. At least the birthdays that take place in my house. Don’t get me wrong- I like a little celebration as much as the next… Continue reading The Birthday Month Thing
U.K. Vacay post number 3! This one is a little more meaty…highlighting the aspects of the trip that we were willing to pay for. However, before I get started, I’ll share one more snippet of the fun we enjoyed that was FREE. The beauty of London is that it is such an epicenter for culture.… Continue reading A jolly good time, part 3
Alright friends. Time to dig in. Last week in the U.K. was a dream come true for me- such a great time. And as I listen to what our friends have spent on exotic beach vacations and fun family trips to Disney, I’m happy to say we spent probably half of what any of them… Continue reading A jolly good time, part 2
Hello friends! I apologize in advance for the next several posts- I’m NOT a travel blogger and am absolutely not qualified to tell anyone how to spend time abroad. However, I positively MUST document what turned out to be the single most satisfying trip of my life in true mom-blogger fashion, with all the fun, over-exaggerated… Continue reading A jolly good time
The Finale Here it is. The final notes on our perfect-for-us vacay with the little troop. It might not fit in with everyone’s definition of the perfect vacation, but it wayyyy surpassed my expectations and will serve as the model for all future vacations involving our brood. Rather than bore you with all the notes… Continue reading Enjoying a vacation with four littles…Part 3
Holy smokes what a week. The first 5 days of homeschool are officially in the books. When I first withdrew the girls from school in the spring (to be perfectly accurate, it was 3 days after I gave birth in March), I am pretty sure I was cracked out on the last of my pregnancy hormones.… Continue reading Time and solitude
