I've been feeling more energetic the past couple of days. I've been creating. I have been getting housework done. I made a big lasagna the other day, so we are eating leftovers tonight. I took A to the fabric store to get thread for her sewing machine. She has her first sewing lesson tomorrow. I … Continue reading Productive Day

Settling In
I can almost run my vacuum! The upstairs is mostly off the floor. We have unpacked so much, and this past weekend we had help. It was wonderful! Today I have a ton of laundry to do. The machines I have at this house play a cute little tune when the load is done. That … Continue reading Settling In
Mothers Day
It feels so strange to not have my baby with me on Mother's Day, but we are not finished with the house. Today my husband will be installing fencing for the yard. I hope to have our daughter and our dogs back next weekend. Moving is so stressful. Last night Craig and I went to … Continue reading Mothers Day
Moving is Exhausting
It has been a crazy week. There is so much to unpack and put away. I am physically exhausted from all the carrying stuff around and going up and down the stairs all the time. The bad ankle is not loving me right now. This morning, I hired a professional decorator/organizer to help me. My … Continue reading Moving is Exhausting
New House

So we had to sponsor them on base. But then, when they were trying to get on, they crashed … Continue reading New House

My Daughter Will Not Be Allowed to Have Social Media
Until A is 18, she cannot have any facebook/Instagram/tiktok (we are raising her to know better than to download a propaganda machine from the CCP)/Snapchat etc. I like social media for staying connected.

Sick Day
I have been throwing up a lot since I woke up today. I feel sweaty and weak and tired. At this point I'm just hoping I can keep my medicine down tonight. Yesterday we went to a restaurant we won't have around any more when we move. We grabbed ice cream too. This coming week … Continue reading Sick Day
New Digital Planner!
I have been searching for a useful all-in-one planner system that will account for all my homeschooling needs next year, as well as let me track household goals and creative goals. I wanted something colorful and bright. I ended up on Etsy, where I saw digital planners compatible with the Android app, Penly. They had … Continue reading New Digital Planner!
