Hold Your Horses… it’s H Week!

Two weeks ago was technically H week but we ended up traveling to see hubs' family so I decided to take an extra week and cover H this past week as well. Aadie wasn't really into learning about a new letter because there was so much excitement around her (I can't blame her). Since doing …

2 months in… we are *mostly* vegan, and I’m OK with that.

I haven't written an update about our vegan journey in a while, so here we go! It has been about 2 months now and things are going well . When we are at home in our nice vegan bubble things are excellent! I am finding a lot of recipes and we are truly enjoying a …

Goodness Gracious, G week is over?

Well golly "gee" week is over already?  These weeks are flying so fast I really can't believe it.  I actually thought it was Wednesday all day last Friday. Hubs came home and started talking about how he would be home all day the next day and I was trying to figure out why he was …

Monday Mealtime Musings… a pronoun funny

Teaching pronouns to children can be really difficult if they don't just pick it up by themselves at a young age.  Think about it... I am I, but to you I am you or your, sometimes, depending on the situation I am also me or my.  You are you or your to me, but to …

Flips, Finger Paint & Fishies… it’s F week.

Eggstra Exciting “E” Week

A couple weeks ago was E week on our letter of the week journey.  It was a light week, project wise, BUT it was exciting because Daddy was on vacation AND Nainy and Grampy came to visit! Aadie had a great time telling them the letter we were learning about and all of the other …

Oh, potty training…

Potty training, or more specifically, toots. What would be a better topic for a mama to get back into writing about? We are most of the way there when it comes to potty training. She's got the concept and most of the time she does a great job. Lately we've been having some "false alarms" …

Monday Mealtime Musings… Feeling Appreciated

Being a mom, I do a LOT that I never imagined I would do.... and usually it seems like it goes unnoticed and is not appreciated.  My husband does thank me and tries to be helpful when he can, which is awesome, however I feel like no one in my immediate life quite knows exactly …

Monday Mealtime Musings… Using your words.

Whining is certainly something that is not tolerated in our house. I have worked really hard on teaching Aadelyn to use her words when something isn't going her way. I realize that she is only 2 years old, however, she understands what we say and I believe that teaching her early on will be far …
