Sometimes, my kids surprise me. Well, not surprise, just impress. I already knew that William had a sensitive soul and that Lizzie has a huge heart but no idea how to express her emotions. (Because she doesn't like to admit that she has them.) Me, on the other hand, I'm a big ball of emotion. … Continue reading When Kids Take Care Of You

Horseback Riding For Dummies
So I started a thing! Horseback riding lessons! My friend, Paige, (the same one who encouraged my new chicken mama life) has been taking lessons. She offered to gift me an intro lesson and even though, I had serious concerns about my lack of flexibility/strength/coordination, I went for it. And bonus: you're pretty much guaranteed … Continue reading Horseback Riding For Dummies
Learning To Care For Chickens
I have chickens. I'm a chicken mama! I also feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I have done my research but, I have chickens! Why do I have chickens? It's because I have a friend who tends to make things happen. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not as good. 🤣She's the kind of … Continue reading Learning To Care For Chickens

Homeschool, Houses, and Hamilton
I haven't blogged in a long time. It is a little ironic to me that the last time that I did post, we were officially in Covid life and, weeks and weeks later...we still are. For the most part, life has been boring. But, I'm not complaining as one alternative to boring could be illness … Continue reading Homeschool, Houses, and Hamilton
Hello From One Covid World To Another
So how's everyone doing, man? Covid sucks, huh? I was going to write this a bit tongue in cheek but now that I think about it, I won't. Too many bad things have happened. To put it mildly. Thankfully, they haven't really touched me personally. (Besides a furloughed husband and trying to survive distance learning.) … Continue reading Hello From One Covid World To Another

"Wizard and the Lizard Wacky Weather" is her second children's … Continue reading Children’s Book Review: Wizard And The Lizard Wacky Weather
Ahmaud Arbery Couldn’t Outrun The Hate
My 20 year old son, Kaleb, recently got pulled over. Thankfully, he ended up just getting a warning. And the police officer was a nice guy who talked to him for a few minutes and even tried to shake his hand. That's a little alarming since we are in the middle of a pandemic. Kaleb … Continue reading Ahmaud Arbery Couldn’t Outrun The Hate
