For Today… Looking out my window … the world is washed out as the snow falls steadily. I am thinking … about how much school we can accomplish. I am thankful … for Jason and his dedication to our family. One of my favorite things … buttered toast. I am wearing … pajamas, but I…
It was our first week of a new year! Our first day we traditionally get something sweet for breakfast, but the weather was such that I didn’t want to go out, so Cinnamon Rolls and scrambled eggs it was: I realized this morning that we didn’t do our traditional self-portraits or interview pages. I’ll need…
“… He is so close to Nature every moment that he has become part of it. He is as honest as Nature itself; and as big and clean and as simple. He has grown, with roots deep in the soil, as naturally as that tree. He can’t be wrong, he doesn’t know HOW to be…
For Today… Looking out my window … it is still night and darkness shrouds. I am thinking … about atmosphere, discipline, and life.

Phew. Another solid week. Another overall good week where we accomplished almost all of what I wanted to. I returned to #uppingmybreakfastgame and made breakfast almost every – and the day I didn’t we had leftovers. Yay me. It does make a difference, though. We walked the dog every morning before school. That’s a total…
In many respects this was a great, if imperfect, week. We had the best day of school we’ve had in ages on Monday. Wednesday with our ‘Art and More with Friends’ group was wonderful.
