I almost posted this on Halloween, but those aren’t costumes 😂 The big kids are back enrolled at our local parochial school. There are several reasons we stopped homeschooling, but the most important one is that we know that this option is what’s best for our kids and for our family-for right now. Thank you to all our family and friends and teachers who have so loved us (and especially our kids) in these transitions. And thank YOU for putting up with all these quasi-melodramatic “grand announcement” posts 😂 I just didn’t want anyone to be too surprised by our Christmas card. 🤣😘❤️ #howeveryouschoolisfinebyme #allthefeelings #thoseuniformsthough😍Homeschool 😳😳😳 Our reasons are many, varied and deeply personal, but, at the very core of this call, I know I am to work especially hard on my relationships with these five tiny humans this year. So, I’m going to try and be “here” less and out “there” more. Less Little Squares. More Little Loves. Maybe some day I’ll be good at balancing IG life and in-person life, but I’m not. And, right now I need to tip the scales really far in the direction of my kiddos. Also, I love you guys, but I gotta love them more. 🤷🏼♀️😂 That’s some serious stuff, so here are some idyllic homeschooling pictures that thankfully have no sound #alltheyelling And be sure to scroll all the way to the end for a laugh. My life is 95% outtake, but that’s ok. On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, please pray for me #fivekidsisalotofkids #andihavenoideawhatimdoing PS We love the school they attended last year and I feel really good knowing that they can always go back 😂 PPS Txt or email me all the good memes and photos I’ll miss #mamraderie #FOMO and please assume I ❤️ everything you post #ineedyoutoknowi❤️you PPPS I’m going to dust off the blog, so if you want to know all the ways I’m failing (ahem) rocking life in the next year, check it out. 😘I bought @floretflower ‘s book in the dead of winter, desperate for a little color and a dream of summer. It is such a beautiful book. Then her simple instructions made a flower garden seem doable and attainable and...necessary. As someone who’s mostly only grown edible things (Practical! Delicious!) it took a little encouragement to jump into flowers. But, jump I did! Into dahlias. And I’m so, so glad. Heading out in the cool morning hours to check plants, touch blossoms, cut and arrange flowers has been one of the most joy-inducing, depression-abating activities I’ve ever done. What a gift! I can’t wait to divide them this fall, replant in the spring and have (even more) beautiful bounty to share. 😍Archives
