This felt like the busiest spring of our lives! Wow. We were on the move non-stop! So much traveling – between our England trip and trips to Utah and Idaho for weddings we were on the move this whole spring. So many good things are happening. I was a little worried about how we would …
Was this not the strangest winter of all time?! Our family definitely missed cozy school days inside while the snow gathered outside – but school continued nonetheless! Despite the holidays, Influenza A, pneumonia, and RSV, we somehow plugged along and are right about where we would like to be! These kiddos continue to amaze me …
Is it just me or did this autumn go by in a BLINK! I can’t believe we are already a quarter of the way through our school year. It’s been a busy season with our family trip to Missouri and Iowa and Jacob’s solo trip her took with Mark to Disneyland. Then add on a …
This has felt like the BUSIEST summer of our lives! Oh my heavens. And I truly am not one who likes to be busy. Productive – yes – busy – no. We have had a lot going on but the kids have been so diligent in doing their school work when we have been home …

The kids are doing so well. We …
Autumn Thoughts Autumn for school is simply the best. It is a fresh start and that is always wanted (and needed!). I am amazed constantly at how the kids are growing up. Each year they get more and more independent which is exciting but I know time is going by so quickly. This season I …
Spring Thoughts We have had such a great spring with school! It has been so very busy but so great! Last winter, I shared how we were finally getting back into a groove. And I am so happy to share that “our groove” has continued this spring. I feel like we are in such a …
Winter Thoughts Homeschooling has been a struggle for us for a while. Longer than I would like to admit. It has just felt like one thing after another has been against us. We really have been struggling even since Lydia’s diagnosing period clear back in 2021. That’s THREE years! That period was hard for obvious …
Thoughts this Winter Was it just me or did this winter FLY by?! I think it probably was just me. I know this winter was brutal for a lot of people weather wise – but it was pretty good to us academically! I felt like we finally got into our groove after months and months …
