Into every life a little rain must fall, and a few pipes must leak. It’s messy. I had a fun, far from original idea for a blog post today. I’ll bet you can’t guess it… I was going to bake pies. Because it’s Pie Day! Or is it Pi Day? It’s silly and made up, […]
Look at that cute face! I’ve been fighting a funk lately. Something to do with absolutely everything being flipped on it’s head by a virus, my husband losing his job, and my abject failure as a homeschool mom. I stood in the social distancing line at Costco the other day and just about cried. […]
Today’s response to quarantine was the invention of a great new game: Lazy Ball. As with all truly great inventions, Lazy Ball was the product of laying around, doing nothing.

I’m not judging. Initially I was judging, but only because all of the stress buying made it harder for me to stress buy MY baby chickens. I’m totally chill now. We bought our first flock, which have all passed on to chicken heaven, when the kids were little. We didn’t plan to buy another flock […]

Plague To begin with, we’ve been fortunate. We are not sick. We have been social distancing for weeks and are prepared to hunker down for a while. I’m just SO BORED! It’s been nice to have tons of togetherness — we’ve had Family Movie Night almost every night — but I’ve resorted to cooking and […]
I don’t know why, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this photo of my youngest was the Sasquatch photo. But really, what a fun day for a storm! Especially because we had nowhere to go. Our Thanksgiving started with a family breakfast, and then home to the best snowstorm we’ve had […]
