Falling behind and attempting to catch up seems to be the most exercise I get these days. Dietrich gets many more “breaks” from school than I care to admit, but still feels tortured by the days I prepare his schoolwork and “make” him do school before playing Mario or watching Netflix. However, when he remains on-task, heRead More

Starting a New Homeschool Year
A new day. A new week. Almost a new month. Soon to be a new season. Today, we started doing a little more schoolwork. Dietrich’s response was less than enthusiastic. However, once he started, he accomplished this work in very little time. I do not believe in giving him more work simply to fill time.Read More

Up the Stairs, Out of our Home
When we moved into our apartment, Madilynn refused to come down the stairs by herself. After about a week, with some assistance and modeling by Big Brother Dietrich, she started to scoot down the stairs on her bottom. This past week, she began walking both up and down the stairs, rather than crawling or scooting.Read More

The Music of My Heart
If my voice could hold out, I would sing all day every day. I have enjoyed the singing part of church service as far back as I can remember. I can close my eyes and see my child self – singing all the words to all the hymns loudly (and likely not on key, atRead More

It Could be Worse
This week, I realized I have been doing more complaining than counting my blessings during this challenging month. Though many items were damaged in our pack-out and we wait on the claims process, it could have been worse. While our belongings sat in military storage for seven months, we did not really think about themRead More

Another Manic Monday: Returning to “normal”
On our way home from my sister’s house, about 30 miles away, I noticed the cloud in front of me resembled a Dr. Seuss character. If you don’t see it also, we’ll just chalk it up to my overtiredness from the long week and longer drive. After returning home from the five to seven-hour road trip,Read More

The Weekend Review
I finally tackled the master bedroom. Tonight I will sleep in an unpacked room. (The exception being about four crates of army related gear and accessories.). I even downsized a few more things from my closet/drawers, in hopes of being much too small for them when their season rolls around again. Even though the room is the sameRead More

Make Your Home Sing Good Morning Manic Monday
The title sums up how things are going with our move (I combined the names of today’s link ups to create it). Every few boxes, a new and unpleasant surprise awaits. Most of Sunday’s box openings contained such gifts.My husband’s goal for the afternoon was to assemble our German Shrank (wardrobe). Apart, it has many pieces which takeRead More
