My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
Yesterday at ‘circle time’ as the kids ate tea and toast, I read the chapter from the Thinking Toolbox on “How to be a Keen Observer.” The exercises were a group of questions that they weren’t to answer directly, but Continue reading Well, yeah, that would work too…
How does K eat a banana? The top half first, lengthwise.
Pretty: This is the last few blossoms on the loniceria fragrantissimo that grows along the river walk. I know it’s name because one just like it was labeled at Blithewald Mansion and gardens. The flowers smell like honey, with a Continue reading {pretty, funny, happy, real}
My First Ever Graded Sweater Pattern is written. At least the first draft. Today I let the errors sit so I’ll see them tonight, and dig out the rest of the house. Sigh, the house. There is laundry to attend Continue reading Digging Out
M invited me to come take a photo of his new snack – Which he titled “spice, spice spice.” So, how was it?
I don’t get much exercise there, besides making sure K stays out of the volley ball area. M has been playing 4-square, K has been Mommy-ing an 18 month old as much as he will tolerate, and B has been Continue reading Hanging out in the Gym in Testing

I was so pleased with how this turned out, especially since I learned how to install (and make!) GIMP brushes in the process. I love a manual with index – especially when the authors do not believe that everything in Continue reading My “Scraplifted” Mother’s Day Card
Thanks for playing with my kids, buying them books, and pretty clothes, and making Sunday dinners for the last 12 years. For always being up for a game (even if it was a spelling one.) For loving to climb rocks Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day Mom
We woke up to the Parks Department installing “Detour” signs in front of our three flat. That means that today is the anniversary of our move. It was the first Saturday in May, and we had to park our moving Continue reading 12th Anniversary of Moving into this Apartment
