Laying the feast of home education, and sometimes hiding in the closet with chocolate.
You know those funny things that the kids do? Or the really hard days that you want to remember when this early motherhood phase is past? Or maybe the blissful moments of quiet at naptime, with a newborn baby asleep on your chest? This is daily life: where we celebrate Motherhood’s moments. These sometimes quiet, sometimes crazy, altogether too fleeting, daily life moments of Motherhood. Because the one thing I know for certain is that I want to remember these days forever.
Sometimes we don’t feel like we can celebrate the mundane moments of Motherhood. We worry that we’ll overshare, and then we worry that we’ll forget too soon. I think we all just need to stop and take a breath. Write it down, take a picture, remember these sweet moments of daily life any way you want to, Mama. The good, the bad, the sweet, the beautiful, the ugly, the mundane, the joyous… write it on your heart.

This week we’ve still been fighting off our last round of colds. Every day has gotten a little bit better, but we’re all at different stages in the cold, so it feels like we’ve been in it for longer than […]
Blitzkrieg or “lightening war” is a term first used by the Germans in 1935 to describe a series of powerful, but brief, attacks meant to thoroughly discombobulate the enemy while surrounding them, and ultimately bring a swift victory. I’ve come to use […]
Another Wednesday, another shopping trip, another quest for groceries on a budget. This time with three kids in tow. My total cost was $100.34 which peeved me for two reasons. 1st) because I had one more $1 off coupon […]
Happy Monday! Our week is off to a good start and I’m starting the blogweek by linking up to Diary of a Stay At Home Mom for Homemaker Monday. We’re working our way back into somewhat normal routines this week, […]
Over the past few months, Sophiapea has blossomed into a bookworm. We’ll sit down and read a few lessons out of the McGuffey Primer, and when she starts to get tired of that we put it away. Then she moves […]
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll have probably seen my Grocery Haul Posts (You can see a couple of them here, here, and here). I haven’t continued doing them because there is usually a lot of […]
Since I’m trying to get back to regular(ish) blogging this year, I thought I would jump back in on Homemaker Mondays with Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. So here we are–I love blog linkups! The weather: Dreary and […]
