A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A construction snafu.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Physical Education–E-Learning Style.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. The truck.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A day to myself. At the beginning of the week, I looked ahead and realized that my boys were only going to have 3 days of school and then be off for 2 1/2 weeks for fall break. I looked at my rather lengthy…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Really Good Show. Have you heard about a new show called The Chosen? I had been seeing ads for it on my Facebook feed and then had several friends recommend it. It’s a show about the life of Jesus and His disciples–but…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. It’s Fall! There are not enough words to describe how giddy with joy I feel.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Back to School AT School! Ladies and gentlemen…my boys are back to school IN their school building (cue the slow clap). I know. I know. This is HUGE. I feel like I have so many people to thank. A big shout out to our…
