30 Days of Thanks: How Things Turned Out

I posted a silly Instagram yesterday about being thankful for bucket car seats so I could get things done while Zara snoozed, but in reality the past few days I have been thankful for much, much bigger things.  You see, one year ago today[...]

Keep Calm and Love…Wyoming

If you have been following my new Instagram account, you have been getting little hints that something big is in the works for us.  There were pictures of us dropping Chris off at the airport and, of course yesterday's blog post had ph[...]

30 Days of Thanks: Fresh Air

I've been in a bit of a funk the last couple days, largely because of the uncertainty of what's going on with our lives right now. I wrote a little over a week ago about Chris' not good work news, but I didn't go into great detail because I was[...]

Finding Thanks When the Sky is Falling

I've been thinking about writing this post all day.  Here I am, nine days into my month of gratitude -- during which it seems like I ought to be writing blog posts about beach sunsets and adorable  little girls frolicking through the[...]

SAHM Confession

My kitchen is a disaster.  There are picture books strewn through the living room, in stacks in the dining room and falling from the shelves in Nora's room.  And when everyone else's toddlers are asleep,I jammie up Nora and head over t[...]

What I’ve Been Doing Instead of Blogging…

It seems like it's been forever since I wrote an actual blog post (nearly a week!), but we've been hard at work and play the last few days. I finished up a website for Caitlin Marcoux, my fabulous yoga teacher and new friend, early in the we[...]

Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week: The Bitter and the Sweet, Whoopsy Vaisey -- I love this oh-so-true description of "Motherhood Bipolar Disorder" who we long for them to grow up and stay small all at the same time. Dad quits breast milk diet, donates sta[...]

End of Summer

I can't believe we are mid-way through August already.  Only 18 days until a little someone turns two and only 12 days until we start to get Chris back.  Time just speeds by, and there's a million things that I'm trying to cram in before Septe[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
