Luckily Baby Lillie and the Clucky Ladies are helping me shift the male dominate energy of the house. We shall over come! As you may see the Clucky Ladies aka The 5 Rhode Island Reds has out

My oldest son has loved working with clay since he was about 4 years old. Here are some photos of  a  few of his creations. Some are from main lesson work and some from his love of all things Pokemon. This one if from his first attempt at making a claymation movie. This is the totem pole he made while studying the NW Pacific Indians in 3rd grade.This is my absolute favorite! He is sculpting a

WOW, It is April already! This school year started out looking great. I planned and planned and wrote out lessons, had tons of amazing ideas. The world held such promise. Then our life took a turn, a good turn that entailed many changes. We began renovating my sisters old cottage house near my hometown. What a project! Chris and I had never done work like that before. We hung drywall, bead board,

This is Lillie, my 5 week old great niece. Most mornings until mid to late afternoon, I am blessed to be the care giver of this precious little one. She arrives early, before my children wake. We enjoy a bottle and cuddle while listening to lullabies. She reminds me of the simple times, being a new and single mom to Malachi. Oh, how we would rock and nurse the day away. Lillie has reminded me

We opened what my children lovingly call "Our Cool HomeSchool" bright and early Monday morning. After months of planning and replanning it was finally time, our big day.
