It is so important to teach your son about home repairs. Yes, girls can definitely benefit from this too! At our house, we just happen to only have boys, so I tend to focus on raising boys. This is a guest post that I think brings an awesome point: training up your sons on how to work with their hands. I want to make sure we use these tips at our house more too, and I hope you find this […]

This box had two adorable tops, two dresses that fit perfectly, and a terrible pair of Daisy Dukes. On my Facebook video, I asked what I should keep, and I promised to post photos […]

Tuesday, April 21 (Week 6) The Mostly Happy Week I am taking a break upstairs, listening to Alan’s surprised voice downstairs saying, “Y’all already ate that sherbet!!??” It truly is eat or be eaten around here. Food has a short shelf life. School is going better though! Therefore, my stress level has decreased. Monday all the boys’ work was due to be turned in by 12pm, and we had most of it turned in on Friday afternoon. New assignments were […]

Normally on this blog, I tend to visit new places and post photos of them. I also go house hunting every 1-3 years, since I am a military wife, that has been our lot. Since nowadays we, like everyone else in the world, stay home all the time, I thought I would give you a tour of my house instead, or at least the interesting parts of my house. I am officially not allowed to show you the boys’ rooms. […]

I still cannot believe we are doing this whole quarantine home school thing, but hey, we are all in this together. Right? From reading texts from friends and my modern-day gossip column (Facebook), I gather that some schools provided solid plans for students who are at home while others did not. We live in Maryland. Our teachers were given less than 24 hours of notice before schools shut down. Therefore, they cannot guarantee that all children have internet access at […]

Remember when you were a child, how exciting birthdays were? In my 8-year-old world, birthdays were the best event of the year. A whole day of presents, cake, and friends? What could be better than that? In fact, I remember turning eight especially well. That was the year I had chicken pox. The party had to be moved to a week later. My poor mom probably had to call everyone. Kids these days do not know how good they have […]

I am definitely an alone-time hoarder. I am always hoarding, saving, and guarding alone time. This isn’t something I became because motherhood is exhausting either. This is simply who I always have been. What do I mean by “alone time hoarder?” An alone time hoarder is a person who jealously guards their alone time. They love and cherish being alone. In fact, they will go to ridiculous lengths to keep being alone. An alone-time hoarder is an awkward name for […]

…..And instead I mostly blog and go to the grocery store.
Seriously. I do an outing. Collapse on the sofa. Do the chores some of the chores. Collapse on the sofa. It’s all over surprisingly quickly.
Thank you for joining us for the 12 days of jumping into fall and recovering from summer!! So who is ready for this hurricane? As a military wife, I have about 20 friends who are in North Carolina, and we are praying with you all! We live in the D.C. area, so we might be a little affected too. We have a completely dead tree in our front yard. Limbs fall from it regularly. We’re renters, but even still we […]

Today is the 5th day of school, and guess what. It is definitely time to recover from summer. And you know what else? It’s going to take me way more than 12 days to recover the basement playroom and the stacks of papers from a summer of neglect. There are about a billion cluttered surfaces in my house that I’ve saved for “when the boys go back to school.” And you do not want to see the storage room where […]
