My goal is to have to remember to bring as little as I possibly must. Loading my car at the beginning of the season with the gear that will live in my car is one way to accomplish this. We always have folding chairs in the van. We have two adult sized and three child…
Welcome to ‘31 Days to Surviving Sports Seasons Sanely.’ If you’re new here, I thought I’d share my credentials for writing this series. I have three children, ages 10, 9, and 8. My daughters are my bookends, just enough apart in age that they can’t ever be on the same team. We’ve been participating…
I’m excited to be posting about 31 Days to Surviving Sports Seasons Sanely this year. This will be the landing page where I link all the posts for 31 Days. I’ll try to get them daily, but may play catchup now and again. You can always use the 31 Days or SurvivingSportsSeasonsSanely tags to find…
I have been reading Karen Glass’ book Consider This for quite a while now. I always seem to find exactly ideas at exactly the right time.

I have it all written and the posts scheduled, I need 4 pictures to complete it. Feeling pretty positive! I am thankful… for my church! We had two international doctoral students profess…
I feel like every week I tell you how crazy my week was. This week was, well, it was crazy. Shocking, I know. But I really mean it this time. GroveTime went well. We accomplished it all five days. Total win! We did not finish all the reading I had planned for the whole week…
It’s been a long time since I participated in Read-Aloud Thursday. I’d like to do it more often, though. So here’s to a fresh start. Our favorite read-aloud time is dinnertime with Daddy. We are all contained at one place. Whichever grownup is done eating first (generally me … helps me not to take seconds!)…
Last week, the quote I offered was from an audio book, this week I’m sharing one from a podcast. Do you listen to any podcasts? This is a relatively new medium for me. I’m not very auditory, I mean you saw my sermon notebook where I come as close as I can to transcribing sermons…
