Project 365 – #221 Lots of stuff going on behind the scenes at the Marine Corps Nomads household.  We’re busy getting things together for the “new” school year.  (We school year around, but some things aren’t as much of a focus during the off months.)  We had loads of fun on our vacation in July and then our trip this past weekend.  Of course, that means that some of the housework was set aside for a time.  Now, I’m buckling down and getting the house back in order and then some. I’m starting to move into my “gotta simplify the…

Trying to Focus

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #216 Today, I have found myself struggling to focus on the tasks at hand. I’m dealing with a headache, coming off a family vacation, and trying to work through details of stuff going on behind the scenes of several different things. Thankfully, none of my tasks today really needed to total focus. lol! Munchkin, on the other hand, has been doing a fabulous job focusing and accomplishing her tasks. She’s been working hard on chores and jobs around the house as well as on her school work. To say that we’re pleased with how she’s been doing…
