No longer my baby girl
Except she’ll always be my baby girl. Look at this photo I’m almost positive was taken last week! I may be off on the date. Anyway, Little Miss turns 14 today. She’s not a child. She’s not yet a full-fledged adult with all the rights and privileges thereof, but she’s well on her way. She’s […]

Distracted
I have confiscated all the Legos. I’m pretty sure I got them all. There are so dang many that it’s possible I missed some. Legos, so my boys tell me, distract them from doing what I ask. So do balls and trucks and green grass and blue skies and siblings and anything not the task […]

Character
Tonight our homeschool group is having the end of year banquet where each child is awarded a character certificate by their parents. This is the first year we’ve done this, so I was sure what to do.

Fine Arts Friday: Too much of a good thing
Our artist for this term is Edouard Manet. Here’s a good short kid’s bio of Manet and the list of suggested works from Ambleside. (We flipped terms two and three to accompany our history topics.) I’m not going to talk a lot about Manet, except to say I like him a lot and because he […]

Advice from a toddler
Lately, I’ve been a little dismayed at the tendency to for everyone to be so very indignant about every dang thing. To “take on others offenses” as my mom says. There is so much outrage and shaky fists that somebody somewhere might be doing something that they ought not do. I’m not talking about actual […]

End of an era
Today Satchmo turns 7. Seven. Seven is no longer a little boy. A young boy, sure. A kid, definitely. But not a little boy. “I’m not a little boy, Mom!” But Satchmo is my youngest, my baby. So this feels harder than the others. Sure, it was bittersweet watching the others get so big and […]

Cute posting
Today has been a busy, busy day because of a thing I can’t yet talk about. It’s also about a hundred bajillion degrees, which makes thinking — ergo blogging — difficult. Yes, I do put some thought into this blog. Anyway, I can’t think of anything better than this adorableness I saw this morning. You […]
