Why is it so hard to say all of the things you want to say, but you just don’t know how? Or when? Or if at all? For now they will just stay in draft form. Waiting patiently for that check of approval.

Planting for harvest

We typically map out our container garden during spring break week and start our seedlings inside. We are behind the 8-ball this year, and I’d like to officially blame the weather, because that is easier than blaming myself =) My kids were little when we started this activity, I read somewhere that kids were more…… Continue reading Planting for harvest

Don’t “barely make it”. That would be cheating yourself. Crucial work is best!

Sleepovers

A sorry excuse (ever hear of a nap? Oh wait- that was also a rule- no napping or sleeping all day). Of course…… Continue reading Sleepovers

Seaweed Man

I am cozying up under my favorite pink plush blanket while watching the unwelcome March snow come down. Luckily it’s too warm to stick. Before that, I was taking Savi for a walk, wishing I had picked a more opportune time, as the snowflakes fell onto my glasses. I thought it was supposed to be…… Continue reading Seaweed Man
