After Tessa’s room got a re-do, the other kids started thinking their rooms needed one too. 🤦🏽♀️ Tessa’s was very labor-intensive, which I’m not about to do to everybody’s bedrooms right now, but Grace’s room was in need of a little updating. I painted that room when Claire was 2 (almost 10 years ago)- and there Read More

My best friend and I were just talking about how life is somehow crazy busy right now.

Our “Schedule”
Our schedule is very loose these days. It’s not written in stone, it’s not unmovable, it’s not something we’re stressing over. BUT, I like to have something to keep us on track during our school days.As I mentioned before, I’ve decided to just do official “school stuff” on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. That way I Read More
