Our homeschooling and home building story.
The last few weeks have been a wild race. Getting Ari through her curriculum, returning all the curriculum to the charter school, ordering and sorting the new curriculum... finishing the school year where I teach, class parties, staff lunches, moving textbooks, moving my husbands whole school back up to their old location, returning keys...starting up...

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Our house project has decided my character needs more perfecting. The school year is winding down which means I’m busy keeping grades up to date so students know what they’re missing, and helping Ari finish up her classes so we can return the materials to our...

This week has been really hard...but having lots of people pray has been super helpful and ... I think...helped God remind me of the power of forgiveness. And then I've felt so much better. I wasn't meaning to be angry, I just forgot to forgive. Things are still hard and our workload has doubled but,... Continue Reading →
We had a wonderful family vacation in Mendocino county. The cabin in Albion was just perfect. A little kichenette so we could make food and a fun loft above where the kids could sleep. They loved it. We went tide-pooling, rode electric rail bikes, swam and played on the beach. After the trip the kids... Continue Reading →

I made ranger cookies and we shared them with our contractor and with our new neighbors. The kids got lots of playtime and Ari still had some school since her spring break isn't... Continue Reading →
I didn't post a blog last week because I was just trying to push through the end of the school quarter and get to spring break. It was a busy last few weeks but good. We practiced bells a lot to prepare to perform at my parents church. I learned to make a punch pillow... Continue Reading →
Please pray for our project and the events of the last year... covid etc. and all the delays it's put on our project and such so please pray for our project. On the good news side... we have all the walls now! Our living room was the last to get walls because they needed to... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty sure that phrase is supposed to allude to the weather and that March starts as winter and ends as spring. I know winter has been harsh for much of the country...here...we would like winter to show up. We pretty much skipped it. Anyways, we started the month off with a box week...with Eric...
