I know I’ve been missing in action lately. It’s crazy. December is usually the month where we take a break from school books, and spend time getting ready for Christmas. We deep clean the house, have a few family baking days, visit friends, and just relax. Usually. A few weeks ago I got a phone […]
Emerging From the Land of Divergent
Abegnation. Dauntless. Erudite. Amity. Candor. A dystopian society in a post-apocalyptic world. This is the world I’ve just emerged from. Finishing a good book is a bit like waking up. You open your eyes and look around, and see that things have gone on while you weren’t paying attention. You feel let down because the […]
From the Bees Comes the…
Honey. Remember our bee adventures last spring? Interesting week, right? We had not one, but TWO swarms of bees in our back yard! We learned a lot from talking with our neighbors and watching them capture the swarms. Who’d have thought you could just knock a whole swarm of bees into a box? Certainly not […]
And June is Just a Memory
Just like that. Bam. Summer is in full swing, and suddenly we find ourselves in… July. Happy Independence Day, by the way. What a week! Tonight we’ll spend our 4th the way we always do, at the lake with friends, BBQing and laughing and enjoying the time together. The kids will play in the lake […]
Swarm: The Bees Come Back
After our adventure on Monday with the bee swarm on the back fence, I had a little blog fodder and some photos for my little ol’ blog here. It was an interesting, educational experience and I was happy for the chance. To think my boys would have completely missed out on it if they’d been […]
Where the Bees Are
I saw the kids first, and then I recognized her, but I couldn’t recall why. I was reaching for the doorknob when her daughter knocked, causing my dogs to explode in their yappy Pomeranian way. “Hi Dawn. Do you remember me? I live behind you.” Oh! That’s why I recognized her. We share a back […]
My Tree
GO. There is a tree in the middle of my front yard. It is a lovely tree, green and flowering in the springtime, wafting it’s perfume through the yard. I shoot pictures of it every season, because with each new season, it takes on a new life, new colors, new character. It has hosted prom […]
5 Things Every Teen Needs
It’s hitting me lately in waves. Maybe it’s the fact that I can’t keep ANY snacks in the house for longer than 24 hours. Or it could be that it’s after 8am and my kids are still out cold. It could be that morning showers have become mandatory, rather than optional. Or maybe it’s the […]
17 Years in a Breadbox
If you give a Mom a baby, she’s going to want a carseat. If you give the Mom a carseat, she’s going to want a car to buckle her into. Once she has buckled baby into her carseat three or four-hundred times, she’s going to want another baby. And another carseat. And another baby. And… […]
Samsung Galaxy Victory Not a Win
Four months ago I bought myself out of indentured servitude to Verizon. I paid them $300 to get out of the remaining 18 months on my cell phone contract, because I just couldn’t stomach it any more. That “free” phone you get isn’t free. You pay for it in payments spread out over the duration […]
