Before kids, I was a huge neat-nick. Now, I have three kids, a big ol’ dog, homeschool, and life. I have adjusted my expectations accordingly. My house is no longer clean. It will probably not be clean again until the kids have their own homes away from this one. Am I right, mamas? That said, I…

Do you know what? I have lived in New England for almost 37-years and I pride myself in not complaining about New England weather, and particularly its winters. I’m always amazed at the grumblings every single winter from people who choose to live here. And then, come summer, the very same people complain about the humidity. It’s laughable! Yes, our weather…

Tomorrow I will register my sweet T for kindergarten. I cannot believe she is even old enough for kindergarten. Where is the pause button? Kindergarten registration is always bittersweet, isn’t it? I remember feeling a mixture of pride and loss just two short years ago, as I waited in line to register Leo. I stood there, fighting back tears, and…

I know that I will miss so many things about these early years of motherhood but this I know: I won’t miss the whining.   A couple of weeks ago, we had a library whining situation.

I’m one of those helper-types. I’ve been involved in community service - in some capacity- since elementary school. But community service and children? Motherhood has thrown an interesting wrench into the mix. Motherhood makes service more …challenging. I have three young children with me almost all of the time. I can’t really serve without them,…

You know what’s funny? This time last year homeschooling was not on my radar. And yet here I sit, one year later, and I am not only homeschooling but I am enjoying it most days. When I think about all the things I’ve grown to love and appreciate about homeschooling, the list is long. If…
