Tessa had a checkup at Mayo this week. We haven’t been up there since the fall, and it’s a whole different experience these days thanks to Covid-19. Entering the building feels like airport security, except with thermometers, days of the week stickers, and 137 questions to answer. Everyone is required to wear a mask, and Read More
Tough Like Tessa
What’s Up Wednesday
What we’re eating this week: All things grilled. Steak, chicken, pork chops, burgers, kabobs. I love grilling season. What I’m reminiscing about: At this time last year, the girls and I flew out to Boston to visit my sister and attend the Cloves Family Conference. We also celebrated Tessa’s 3rd birthday there. On Monday, we Read More
Elementary Graduate
Claire finished her last year of elementary school this year. I can’t believe that she’s headed to middle school next year, because I’m fairly certain I just tearfully dropped her off in her Pre-K classroom not that long ago. I mean, how did all these years pass by so quickly? Claire is sad Read More
Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! Most likely you are spending this day differently than you normally do…like most things these days. But the reason for Memorial Day is still the same, regardless of the current events in the world today. Thankful for the sacrifices that have been given so that we can have the freedom we enjoy Read More
Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: Just another day at Mom’s nail salon. Max only comes for the foot soak. Favorite kid quote: Claire, after hearing that pools will be closed all summer: “Oh Rona, look what you are doing to these poor kids!” Favorite clothing item: I got this suit for Claire this year and it looks so Read More
Thankful Thursday
This week, I’m feeling thankful for… 1. A brand new, healthy niece. Lainey and momma are both doing well, and went home yesterday! 💗 2. A visit to my hair stylist. Salons are open again. PRAISES BE. Now I have a desire to actually do something with my hair again because it doesn’t look like a Read More
Dude Perfect
All four of our kids love Dude Perfect. They have watched every single Youtube video multiple times, every episode of their TV show, the Trick Shots DVD, and their documentary. If Dude Perfect has released anything, my kids have watched/read it. They love these guys. Ben and I really enjoy watching them too. They’re funny, Read More
Teacher Gifts
Today I’m linking up with Ashley and Erika to talk about teacher gifts. Because if there is one thing we can all agree on after homeschooling for several weeks, it’s that teachers are definitely deserving of all the gifts. I feel like the teachers deserve extra gifts this year. All of a sudden they Read More
Last Day
Friday was the last day of school for us. If you would have told me that we would be finishing the year homeschooling while in quarantine I would have said you were crazy. Yet here we are. I’m thankful for the technology we have which allowed the kids to keep in touch with teachers and Read More
