"Summer has a mind of its own." I read that somewhere long ago when my kids were little, and I think about it every summer because it remains true. Every summer is different, and it never quite turns out how I plan it. For example, I thought I might have more down time this summer. … Continue reading July 2021
May has been a brighter month for me. Earlier in this year, when I learned we would have to prolong our isolation because the COVID vaccine was not approved for kids yet, I fell into a sad slump, which was made worse by other circumstances. However, similar to the experience I had last year -- … Continue reading May 2021
I'm living in this space where I feel a deep sadness on one side and a deep contentment mixed with joy on the other side. It is very weird. I feel quite unmotivated to do certain things, yet I stay busy. Where I find joy hasn't changed very much: my family, the light through the … Continue reading April 2021

And the … Continue reading November 2020
October is well on its way and the weather has been beautiful. I'm even starting to see a little color on the trees too. Our homeschool year is going as expected, and it's keeping me extremely occupied, to say the least, which is why this is a short post. This year is the most challenging … Continue reading October
Homeschooling is the road less traveled, and that makes all the difference. Everyday my boys teach me something new. They teach me about life, about the world, and they teach me how to be a better parent. Homeschooling, also, is something I learn about everyday. Experience is the only thing that can teach you how … Continue reading July
Strange Month May 2020 has been a weird month, and I know that I don't have to explain why to anybody. I hope whoever is reading this is okay, and you aren't struggling too much. We're okay.

The older I get, the more I find joy in simply being alive. Even when the going gets tough, there's something to be said for being able to experience Life with all its ups and downs. I think it's harder when you are young to see the larger picture of one's life, and it's very … Continue reading April
