post storm rainbow
We thought we were going to go out to see a movie Thursday night. And I wanted to get my weekly grocery shopping done early because Saturday is looking like a stay at home day. But suddenly we were slammed by a surprise tropical storm. I said, “I thought the hurricane isn’t supposed to be [...]
two new pages and I’m not done yet
This morning I worked on my first challenge for the Brownie Supreme challenge over at BrownieScraps. We were told to tell a story and to include at least two photos, seven lines of journaling, and blending, using a current kit in the store. Looking through my journal, I found an old story from 2008 [...]
template tuesday at ScrapMatters
I am trying to participate more over at ScrapMatters. They have enough challenges to keep you busy scrapping every day, if you have time to do that! Tuesday is template day, and today Jami gave us this fabulous template. I used one of Jeanine DeOre’s latest mini kits, A Little Retro, which was part of [...]

Project 365 Day 29, 30, 31, and 32!
I have taken pictures! I just haven’t posted in my blog. I’m thinking of starting a new blog. I need to create a watermark to protect my photos since I can’t right-click protect them here. Or maybe I’ll start sharing my Project 365 photos on my Smugmug, where I can right-click protect. I just like [...]

If I had more time I maybe could merge the two together [...]
Thursday challenge
Thursday’s challenge was to use a frame. Not a big challenge, but a good reminder for some of us who might have been forgetting about frames. I know I don’t use them very often, beyond stroking the photo with an outline. So the first thing I did was browse through my collection of digital frames [...]
unschooling
I’ve been moving a little away from unschooling since this academic year began. We’re still far, far away from being schooly, but I’ve been asking Rhiannon to do some math almost every day, and just generally trying to establish a “study hour” or work-before-play routine. I really want to trust that my kids will learn [...]
piano, drama, art, and soccer, oh my!
Has anyone wondered where I’ve been? Well, for one hour a week I’ve been in downtown Spotsy with my two younger kids while Rhiannon is in her piano lesson. Rhiannon’s drama club takes a few hours another day every week. Caroline just started her art class this week. They’re all enjoying their classes. Of course. [...]
Beginnings
We’re off to a good start for the academic year. First of all, last night I thoroughly cleaned off the table and desk the kids use in the family room. The desk is completely bare, ready for new projects. Rhiannon worked a lot on piano today. She hasn’t had a lesson yet, but she has [...]
