Today I want to talk about creativity. When I was a child, it was greatly celebrated, but I was never so sure that I actually possessed any of this creativity stuff. There were only two subjects I disliked in school: P.E. (We’ve talked about this) and Art. Yep. I never liked Art. I love to admire other people’s artwork. I would just rather not make any myself. Sure, I write all the time. Non-fiction. All of my work is simply […]

Decorating the New House: Autumn Style

2016-08-30 aprilmomoffour decorating, fall

Something has happened to me since I sent the boys back to “regular” school. My days opened up a bit, and I began to have fun keeping house again. I have especially been enjoying decorating for fall! Confession: When I actually set all these out, it was the middle of August. I figured if people can decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving is even over, then I can decorate for fall in August. Don’t ya think that’s fair? Having just moved […]

This week is our Spring Break. Wahoo! That’s something to celebrate! I have about 5 billion goals to accomplish and all of 5 days to do it in. Mostly, we are prepping for the big move. It’s three months out, but hey, that’s like three weeks in Mom years. I could tell you what’s been going on around here, but I thought it’d be more fun to show you, so today’s blog is a photoblog: What happens is that […]

Charitable Chicken and Other Little Tales

Lots of little things are going on here in the House of Many Little Men…. This is the thing I’m most excited about: JD is getting ready to take off. Each day he finds his way onto his hands and knees just a little bit more. He is also SERIOUS about his “standing practice.” He just loves to be on his feet. He’s extremely unsteady when you walk him, and yet the boy will randomly just let go of your […]

Who knew I would ever be so excited about a label maker? I have big plans for this thing. Alan also got me this beautiful necklace. Love it! This past week I turned 33. That makes me stop and ask, “Am I where I wanted to be at 33?” Yes, definitely, plus some! I never counted on having all these blessings, and to top it all off, I have way more direction and goals than I had 10 […]
