13 Lessons from When My Website Crashed for 11 Days

If you visited this website in the past eleven days, you might have seen a disaster scene, a blank website, a ghost town. But I have good news. As you can see, I am back in business.

Or I save the helpful content on Pinterest, but I do not actually ever […]

big family life, Christmas, education, family, funny stories

We just finished the longest Christmas vacation ever. 3 weeks!!! Full weeks!! It was a blast.  It was genuinely fun because we didn’t spend the whole 3 weeks in any one place. We went south, then we went north, then we went home, then we went back south, then back home. We had a good time with it! And we were terrible. Truly terrible. We let the kids stay up as late as 10 some nights. I know. The shame! […]

When Alan gets home from New Jersey tonight

4 kids, military life

Remember how I said that Alan wasn’t going on any business trips in December? Of course, I was wrong. This week turned out to be New Jersey week. You might think that a 14 year Army wife veteran such as myself would not sweat short business trips. I’ve been through more than one year-long deployment, several months-long assignments or deployments, and too many short trips to count.

Caleb, Aiden, and the Wolf: Creative Tales From California

art, decorating, fall, family, funny stories, homeschool, parenting

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 […]
