Just Know…

…that when the blogging isn’t happening, the living is.

Here are a few things that are keeping us busy in our spare time:

The bathroom. Sheesh. Don’t ask. (but soon and very soon it will be done! I’m sure of it)

The pool. Overcoming fears and cooling off in the shallow end, chilling with friends and eating picnic lunches. That’s pool day. Once a week.

Menu planning. Well, sort of. I’ll explain later in the week. But check out these sweet planners that my friend Shelly drew to my attention. Surely the pure cuteness of those will motivate me to plan our meals better?

Exploring math games. Fun and education together is my thing. We love playing Blink, which I picked up on a recent whirlwind tag-along-with-your-husband-while-he-drives-to-another-town-for-work day. (sorta fun, but in the end, probably not something I’ll do again in the near future.) What can I say? I try to fly by the seat of my pants, but sometimes spontaneity just isn’t the best thing for me.

Planning our school year. (yes, already!) Apologia has won my heart. We’re looking forward to studying zoology for science this year!

Oh, here’s a website I’m still really enjoying: “a site dedicated to anyone out there who just wants to enjoy the home they have been gifted, the family they love and the career they cherish–blemishes and all.  A place where women of all backgrounds and life journeys can share ideas and help support one another in the seemingly mundane endeavors of daily life.  A new way of living, inspiring and exhaling–by fully realizing domestic ease.”

I’ll leave you today with a new recipe that my daughter wrote.

Rice Crispy Treets

Wipt cream

Stroberrys

“You cut them out. Then you put the wipt cream on top and a stroberry.”
