I really don’t like starting another project before we have finished the last but…this is kind of a situation of “if you give a mouse a cookie…”. We started Sarah’s room refresh last March and we really went for it for a couple weeks and then we stopped. Truly, nothing done, until this last week. …
Oh goodness. I’ve been putting off writing this post. It has been a tough week almost two weeks. Back Story Remember when we had our disaster hospital stay back in November? That visit (mostly just that sleep study night) was horrible for Lydia. And it did a number on me. I came home feeling defeated. …
This last year, I have tried to incorporate some more “holiday” school into our family’s homeschooling life. We did a little something extra for Valentine’s Day earlier this year and then we did “Thanksgiving School” last month. It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …
Time for a Lydia Appreciation Post! This girl. It is no secret that she is the light of our lives. I sometimes worry about writing things like that – I hope no one thinks we value one kiddo above another – but truly, we all adore Lydie and she is openly each of the kid’s …

October is Rett Syndrome Awareness month and it seems like a good time to give an update on all things with Lydie’s health from the past year. This last year has seen mountains and valleys. I remember speaking with a friend in April about how things were going really good with Lydie at the time. …
And just like that we are beginning another school year as a family. Time is going by so quickly! We are excited for this upcoming year. – our seventh year homeschooling! 2023 – 2024 <– (that is totally bizarre that this is the year we are going into!) here we go! Jacob – Sixth Grade …
Last week we had a sort of unexpected night. Lydia has been on a wait list for a sleep study for several months now and we got a call around lunch time asking if we could take the spot for that night and we did! Of course, it was a night Mark was working, but …
Oh sweet Lydia. You are brave, a little mischievous, patient, a lover of music, calm, and filled with pure goodness from head to toe. We were so happy to celebrate YOU! Hundred Acre Wood Party Two of my dearest friends sent me the complete Winnie-the-Pooh Book Collection after I had Jacob and it has been …
