We Can’t Stop- Homeschooling Day 2- Whatever F**king Day It Is Today (Part II)

Years ago when my boys were little, there was a news story about a mom of three, pregnant with her fourth, who tried to drive her minivan into the ocean. I think that’s a good place to start this post.

Shiny Happy People- Homeschooling Day One (Part I)

That fateful Sunday evening when the email arrived about closing school for two weeks, I was told the look in my eyes was one of pure resignation and agony.

On the day where we are all meant to demonstrate support of our environment and its protection,  over 600 daffodils that had been planted on the property of one of … More Hallelujah

We are finally at a point where sleep books don’t dominate my nightstand and I don’t need three cups of coffee in order to socialize with other humans. We consider ourselves pretty lucky in that our … More Creep

It Was a Good Day
