Last week when we were heading home from a trip we had some leftover cake and pie. I decided to turn it into a wacky treat for the kids, so I had Daryl stop at the lake about 20 minutes before we got home.
I told the kids that we were going to have the cake […]

We’re not getting much homeschooling done today. Or I’m not anyway. The kids have had some accidental learning via “Word Girl” and websites and new magazines that came in the mail.
Today is a bit of a Do Nothing Day for me, like yesterday and like much of last week. Maybe I should just call this […]

Attention Mothers:
A certain child who wishes to remain anonymous would like to know if your children bicker. She is quite certain that other brothers and sisters don’t.
Please weigh in with your comments.
Thank you!

Victoria is having a camping party tomorrow at a park in a nearby city. She wanted to camp out for her birthday this year but with 3 birthdays in one week and it being the beginning of May in Minnesota, that just didn’t seem like a grand idea to my mind. We promised she’d get […]

Daryl had an appointment with a dermatologist out of town yesterday so the whole family made the trek together. The kids and I read magazines and wandered around the lawns outside during the appointment.
When Daryl was done, he went back in with Victoria for a minute. Apparently, he went to the receptionist and asked if […]

Okay, I’m a garden freak. This is what I asked my hubby to make me for Mother’s Day. He and the kids bought all the lumber and put them together today. Raised garden beds! I looooove them! I am not a jewelry kinda gal, but give me some plants […]

We headed out of town for Japanese class and when we got there, we found out Kenai’s plane had been grounded so she wasn’t back yet. We hung out and played instead and had a great time.
It was a beautiful spring day and our kids and Thom’s boys all played baseball in their front yard, […]

I’m pretty sick with a bad head cold and sore throat today, so I’m out of commission. I sneezed 4 times writing that one sentence! :) I’ll yap later!

Turns out I am a short order cook after all.
Daryl took the baby on a drive to give me a break today and I was hanging out with the older 3. The girls were videotaping cooking and fashion shows but I never know when to leave well enough alone so I pulled Victoria aside […]

We’re heading up to meet Val and Guy halfway to pick up Victoria! It’s a 6 hour drive, round trip, so we’re staying in a hotel overnight. We have points to stay free again, so it seemed like a plan! It’ll be nice to have my sweetie home. She’s been doing so much fun stuff […]
I'm a frazzled AP mom to 4 fabulous kids in rural Minnesota. Homeschooling here tends to be child-led and focused on fun. We do lots of crafts, reading and exploring. I'm madly in love with my brilliant, goofy lug of a husband and I don't get nearly enough sleep.
