What I Wore Wednesday

I’m starting to feel like myself again with these What I Wore posts! I was motivated to get dressed AND remembered to take pictures every day! Go me! And then when I went back to put all the pictures together to link up at The Pleated Poppy today, I realized...

This Homeschool Mama Loves Target

Well, I’ve always loved Target. It’s my happy place. Except for the outrageous amounts of money I want to spend there. But I fell in love even more when I gazed upon the dollar spot this week and found this… Each of these things – workbooks,...

Medical School: Fourth Year {Top Ten Tuesday}

Have I mentioned the hubby is in medical school? I may have a little, but I haven’t talked about the journey nearly enough. The past three years have flown by and here we are at the beginning of fourth year. The last year of “school.” The year that...

New Shoes {Multitude Monday}

Sounds of Home {Top Ten Tuesday}

They become so commonplace when you hear them day after day. Some I don’t even notice because they all blend together. I take them for granted. After being gone for several days though, they are welcome, familiar and comforting… Top Ten Sounds of Home I...

Home Sick {Multitude Monday}

We are home 24 hours earlier than planned from our vacation. Yesterday was supposed to be filled with the annual extended family 4th of July weekend festivities and fun at the lake. Instead, we were driving home with two sick boys, then headed to the doctor to find...

Friday Fun: Alphabet Caps

This is such a simple idea, but I never thought of until my friend Megan mentioned doing it with her kiddos! I’m trying to stock up on things for Little J to play with while Big J and I do school, or even activities we can do together at varying levels, and this...
