Family Portraits
Like Mother Like Daugher?
I’m more like Grace than I’d like to admit! She’s an adorable, rambunctious, high-energy, intelligent, limit-pushing girl who’d never think twice about scaling a metal pole in a dress. That’s why I make her wear shorts all the time. My mom would often tell me she’d have to pull me from the chandeliers. I’m not…
No Boys Allowed
Noboysallowedww.com That’s what Grace told me to write on a sign she’s putting on her door because she said her brother’s said “NO Girls Allowed.” We’ve been switching rooms around all week, painting and sorting through enough toys to stock our own Salvation Army store. Grace (5) has been wanting a roommate for years, so…
First Day of School
I woke up at 6:30 and jumped in the shower ready to start the first day of school off right. After waking the older boys with a “flash” (I took photos) they eventually made it out of be and everyone made it down stairs for breakfast fully dressed and with teeth already brushed. I cooked…
Are You Ready for Conference Series?!?
I’m starting a new series called Conference Confidence in an attempt to get myself ready and others motivated for ACFW in September (but my tips will work for any writer’s conference.) I won’t claim I know it all, or know much for that matter 🙂 But what I do know is that everything I’ve…
Going Home…
If home is where your heart is, then I guess I’m a nomad. Going home to NY is always like entering a time warp. Technically I’ve lived away more than I’ve lived there, but when I return I feel fifteen again. My grandma no longer lives down stairs and it’s obvious by the growing nieces…
Back Seat Babble
We’re finally back from our long trek across the US and are content to stay home for the next couple of years. It’s amazing how sore my body is and I haven’t worked out in weeks, just driven for over 48 hours in the car. Not all at once, but Saturday’s 15 hour drive seemed…
WHOA! WhOA! SPLASH!
I’m breaking the rules for this photo and supplying a story. It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in Orlando and the kids wanted to go for a swim. I was dressed in fashionable Walmart pool lounging attire and it was cool enough ( 80s) I could even wear my hair down. I wasn’t planning on…
My Spirited Children
As this year of homeschooling comes to an end, I thought it would be fun and interesting to take a trip down memory lane. So I’ll be posting a series of homeschool posts from my past (old dead blog) every Thursday and reflecting on what I’ve written and if things have really changed. It should…
