What a weekend! I don't think the weather could have been more perfect. We spent massive chunks of time outside and braved the arrival of all of the bugs because the sunshine was too good to pass up. I watched a good bit of the coronation with Colton at my side on Saturday morning. What... Continue Reading →
Friday | The One Before School Break
It is the Friday before school vacation week! We're taking the week off from Blackberry Bluff School and Colton will be on a break from all of his programs. It might sound like a vacation but I'll likely be busier than ever and will yearn for a vacation of my own once the week ends.... Continue Reading →
Weekend Unraveling and Planning
Monday! I have woken up with extremely swollen nasal passages which are probably caused by all of the incredibly beautiful spring-like weather we've had over the last week. Honking like a duck is a small price to pay for all of the flowers that are finally blooming around me. We spent so much time outside... Continue Reading →

Happy Friday! I hope the week has been treating you well. We're looking at a rainy Friday night and Saturday for the weekend and there's snow in the forecast for next week. I'm hoping to settle in with an audiobook and a pile of stitching on those rainy and snowy evenings after the kids get... Continue Reading →
Friday | I’m in the Mood for Making
And I believe that our maple tree has finally hit its wintering stage. In less than a month we've gone from a full tree with just a tinge of color to nearly barren, with just a handful of leaves holding on for dear life. I mentioned this week that I'm also turning inward and am... Continue Reading →
An Olympic Week
Friends, despite some freezing rain and snow on Tuesday morning, it's been a delightfully sunny and warm week. We've even gotten above freezing a time or two! The birds have been busy at our window feeder, the cats have been frolicking in the house, and I've been soaking up the sunshine with a warm cup... Continue Reading →
A Frigid Week
What a January so far! We've had two sub-zero mornings this week and it has been brisk. I've been surviving on warm drinks, settling in with homeschooling each morning, and dreaming about my garden this year. We've also been doing more cleaning out/rearranging the basement, which continues to confound me. We've only been in this... Continue Reading →
