Through the Lens Thursday: Loud

I told the kids that they could yell and scream this week, specifically for this prompt, and I think the results show a little bit of the chaos that is our house. And this is totally fuzzy, but I love it because basically, this is my […]

Project 365: Week 49

We’re so close to the end of the year, I can’t believe it. Nov. 30 We had lunch with my in-laws on Sunday, and my MIL headed home from her weekend with us. Dec. 1 December! December is for fancy stuffed animal clothes, I guess. Dec. 2 I […]

Project 365: Week 48

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if I broke my NaBloPoMo streak on the last day by forgetting to do the past I’ve already done 47 times this year. Ha. Ha ha ha.

I almost did that.

Nov. 23
I don’t really know, except I was done with solo parenting. DO-NE.

Nov. 24
Stu- stu- studious.

Nov. 25
Ivy […]

Project 365: Week 47

Nov. 16 Even after the kids go to bed, I’ve still got somebody wanting thisclose to me. Nov. 17 I love bloggy friends, and I super love when they send me lovely things in the mail, like this stripey hand-painted card from Clare of Girl Fifteen, who has been […]

To be three (in haiku)

I dare you, defy! You can’t argue forever Or maybe you can.   The demands don’t end. Up at dawn and down too late. You are exhausting.   Real: bedtime struggles when dealing with threenagers. They want what they want.   Oh, you look so sweet. You finally closed your […]

My Personal Bubble Has Been Popped

So, I’ve been solo parenting for a week now, and it’s not going to end any time soon (relatively….you know, for a mom of four young kids in the beginning of winter….another week and a half feels like FOREVER), but the hardest part this time around isn’t just the lack […]

Project 365: Week 46

This was not an exciting week, but it was a cold one.

Nov. 9 Hub’s birthday! It was low-key, like he likes it. And then we slept.

Nov. 10
I really shouldn’t take him anywhere close to lunch time without feeding him first.

Nov. 11
He took four baths that day. FOUR. […]

Halloween Costumes: 2014 Edition

While Friday morning was a bit of a disaster, with costume elements missing all over the place and everyone getting to school late, we made it and it turned out to be a pretty awesome day.

I actually loved the kids’ costume choices this year. It would’ve been awesome for them […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Play

When the girls were performing at the high school football game for their spirit clinic, I took the opportunity to take some pictures. The sun was quickly setting and I was having fun trying some shots. I took this while a few band members were playing the National Anthem. […]

Project 365: Week 43

We’re gearing up for Halloween, but not as much as everybody else, I guess…we went to the pumpkin patch this weekend, but nobody dressed up for parties or anything. And is it weird that I’m sad that I won’t be dressing up? I mean, I guess I could, but we’re […]
