Mommy & Me Aprons

Posted in Family, and Thrifty Ideas

After being inspired by all the great aprons that I have been seeing on other blogs, I decided to try my hands at matching aprons for my daughter and I. I didn’t want to spend much money (or time), so I thought about different options that I had. I decided that I’d head over to the thrift store and see what jumpers they had. I found a very cute strawberry print jumper, and it was less than $1. I knew that with some work, I could create a jumper for both my daughter and I out of this. Yes! At…

Why do we homeschool?

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Why do we Homeschool? This is a question that I often hear followed quickly by their story about someone that they know who homeschools. Yes, in our area, homeschooling is very popular. We’re not considered too odd around here which is nice. We always have tons of activities in which we can be involved. People wonder how our daughter, an only child, can possibly be socialized properly. Yet, they’re always commenting on how well behaved she is. I have always been drawn towards homeschooling our daughter, but didn’t actively pursue the idea until it was time for her to enter…

Keeping House while Sick

Posted in Family

I’m still trying to figure out how to keep a handle on the housework when I’m feeling so lousy. Since D is home in the evenings now, it’s a bit easier as he’s able to help out. But, it’s still my job to take care of the house, and I prefer to be able to allow him to rest in the evenings. There are several things involved with maintaining the house: clutter control, actual cleaning, laundry & dishes, and meals. We also have school to think about since we’re homeschooling. DinnerThankfully, I have previously cooked meals in the freezer that…

Snow Day, Sick Day

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

How do you combine a nice snowfall, a child that wants to play in the snow (even with a layer of ice on it), and a sick Mommy? Well, when your little one comes in bright eyed and bushy-tailed, fully dressed first thing in the morning, you know that you’re in for an interesting day. Especially when all you want to do is pull the cover over your head and fall back asleep. Alas, that wasn’t going to happen. I crawled out of bed and made her breakfast. Immediately after breakfast, she bundled up and headed outside. I got dressed…

It’s Snowing

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We actually have a pretty good snow coming down. Little Song Bird is eager to be able to go out and play. There’s not enough for a snowman or anything yet, but she’s still excited. Since she’s still recovering from being sick, I told her that she needs to wait until there’s more snow on the ground. I’m not going to forbid her to out and play in the snow since we get it so infrequently. Currently, she’s bouncing off the walls. I, on the other hand, am now sick in bed with what she had. Yuck! Hopefully, it will…
