I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been working on a version of my everydayMOM planner for kids. I decided that my boys needed a good place to keep track of their school assignments everyday, as well as anywhere they need to be. I finished the planner and my first two copies arrived…
I feel so immensely blessed that I get to volunteer for a position at my church that is so much fun for me. I don’t mind to serve in children’s ministry or hand out bulletins or greet people when they arrive. But I get so excited when I get to help plan an event to…
“How many more days, Mom?” That seems to be the question everyday. How many more days? Well… it’s been 23 weeks, and we have 119 days to go. I hate counting down the days of my life like this, but I just can’t seem to stop. For each day I add to the expired days…
Monday was a big day for us. It was the day my oldest son completed his Vision Therapy sessions for the summer. We have been going to the eye doctor from 9 to 10 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday this entire summer. On days off, we do about 30 minutes of homework. I have…
I keep thinking that now that I’m more than halfway through my pregnancy I should update my tummy photo again. So, this morning, my daughter took some pictures of me using Photo Booth on my laptop. My husband took the camera with him to New Zealand and then took approximately zero photos the whole week….
A few years ago, my husband had a very eye-opening experience. I was attending the Discovery Toys convention in California, and we decided to take the whole family to San Francisco for an additional week after the “work” portion of the trip was done. He ended up flying to California a few days after me…
During our vacation last week, my husband let me take over his Blackberry during our long drive to southern Indiana. This was great because it kept him from trying to respond to his work e-mail while he was driving. It also allowed me to write funny answers to his e-mail even though people didn’t know…
Now that it’s August, we are starting to count down the days until we start our new adventure of doing school at home. I wish I could say I’m bursting with excitement and can’t wait to start. But honestly? I’m scared. I’m not worried about teaching my kids or organizing our day. I feel fairly…
I remember the first time I heard about blogging a few years ago. My reaction was: “WHY would ANYONE want to publish their journal online, for EVERYONE to READ?!?!” Then, a couple of years ago, I started hearing various friends talk about their blogs, and I got curious about this whole world of which I…
We are home from our little get-away with family. We stayed here…With four generations of family on CapableDad’s side… We hung out… And relaxed… And enjoyed nature… And visited our neighbors… But the highlight? The 60-foot rope swing… We flew… And we soared… And we did tricks… We could use one of these at home….
