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 finally over my killer virus. The good news is that Victoria was only sick for about an hour (literally!), Annalee was sick for a day but only threw up once and had a headache for a short time, Alex barely registered an illness at all and Jack avoided it completely.
I am a huge […]

We’re supposed to get 6-10″ of snow tonight and tomorrow so we’re off to civilization to stock up on supplies before we get buried.
Isn’t this supposed to be spring? Harumph.
Anyway, we’ll be off galavanting. The kids are bringing books and workbooks for the car so it’ll be a carschool day. Everybody is out cleaning up […]

We’re heading out of town to stay with Grandma and Grandpa for Easter. We’ve been assigned egg-dyeing duty as soon as we get there so Grandma can bring a bunch of eggs to a get together. That’s the sort of assignment the kids can get into! Actually, truth be told I can get into it […]

We’re back! We had a great time in Nebraska and did lots of fun stuff. The drive home is always the hardest part and it’s good to have that over! I made it back in 5 1/2 hours, which may be a record for us!
Alex has been sick and is still under the weather. He’s […]

Sorry to be so quiet! We’ve been having a blast in Nebraska. We got to see Tiffany’s good friend Marsha, a delightful doula who enabled my art addiction on a grand scale by picking up canvases, paint sets, paint pens and more at 90% off Dick Blick’s GOOB sale. We got to see my friend […]

We’re off first thing in the morning for the wilds of Nebraska! The kids and I are going to spend about a week and a half with some fabulous friends. I’ll check in tomorrow and report all the amazing things we saw on the drive and how it flew by. Hoping, hoping….

We’re off in a few minutes for a two hour drive to meet Grandma and Grandpa for lunch. It’s Grandpa’s birthday, which means I have about 7 minutes to think up a craft for 3 children to make an actual cool present and get it done before we leave. Hmmmm!
After that we have homeschool swimming […]
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.
