Thankful 30: Day 6
I’m thankful for talents. Everyone has something different. I watch my siblings bicker about who is better at certain things, and I see something that is wrong with society as a whole: we are too busy comparing. You have something special about you.

Thankful 30: Day 5
Day Five: I am thankful for VOTING 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I took my daughter with me to hit the polls today. 10 important propositions we’re on the ballots for Texans to consider.

A Vapor in the Wind, A Sheep in the Field
It has been a lovely spring day, in my opinion. Sure, it was gray and there was a chance of rain, but it was less than 80 degrees and I was happy. My daughter and I spend the moments before bedtime outside watching the clouds grow darker overhead. The last time it was the “calm…

Tiny Human Chronicles
Time Flies Just yesterday I met one of my aunt’s friends who asked how old my daughter was. I had to seriously think and do some math, then settled for “almost 2”. My mom-brain really stops me from doing simple math sometimes. But really, my tiny human is a tall and sassy 22-month-old who will…

Not Everyone Gets an Award: The Hard Part of Teaching, Parenting
Reports cards finally went out today for my brother and sister. I say finally, because I should have had them ready before today, but I gave them a chance to do make up work and catch up. Having the baby at home has changed a lot of things, and the freedom of homeschool life means…
