Happy Monday everyone! We did start this morning. Sickness ended up being a false alarm, so we plunged right in with morning time, math, and handwriting. And then that is as far as we got. We could have kept going, but I promised the kids a treat and at that point it was 11:15. My…
Outside my Window The sun is just coming up through the trees. I am starting this post before Mass, but will soon have to take a break and get everyone ready, so will likely finish it after. And of course I am noticing my windows are a bit dirty. Outside with the hose is a…
It’s a big day around these parts. My big kids are supposed to spend the night at camp for the first time ever tonight. Except my big kids really aren’t so big, and Mom is a bit nervous. But don’t tell them that. In the meantime, I thought I would distract myself by beginning the…

This homeschool room makeover was a long time in coming. After a couple of years homeschooling all over the house trying to find just the right spot and finally settling on the formal dining space our makeover is done. How about a tour? Do you remember the before photos? I am so excited. I have…
I decided that I could be chattier if I switched back to a Daybook instead of Monday Musings. Sometimes Mondays are not good, but other days are, and with my Type-A personality the “Monday” thing was kind of like painting myself into a corner. And I *ahem* borrowed Sarah’s Dayboook format without asking, but 1)…
View from my front door. Happy Independence Day, friends. What’s the weather where you live? Ours is freakish. I mean, there is the rain — and lots of it — but the temperature did not break 80 today. That’s just unheard of for July in these parts. So there were no fireworks and no bar-be-que,…
I took the inspiration from Sarah about halfway through the month of June to write up some goals for the rest of the month. I worked on them diligently, but have to admit that I didn’t finish. The idea of monthly goals did keep me motivated, though, so I am going to continue the practice…
Apparently the western half of the country has stolen our summer weather. We didn’t even break 90 today. Nice! Speaking of those in the western half of the country suffering from the heat, Sarah is about 35.5 weeks pregnant with twins this week, and Mary at Better than Eden had the best idea ever. She…
1 – This is my backyard. Notice all the little piles of sawdust on the ground there? Those used to be huge needle and cone dropping, lightning rod, pine trees. I thought I took a “before” picture of this area last week, but apparently took photos of everything but this area. Those trees came down last week…
