Before we even had kids, we had decided that we would homeschool. There are a number of different reasons for our decision, but that’s a whole different post on its own We have looked at many different curriculums, and just kept going back to Sonlight. It comes very highly recommended, has a wide variety of [...]
We all have them. At least I’m pretty sure that we all have them. Those day/weeks when the kids seem to gang up against you. When you go from one tantrum to another, and just as one calms down.. the other starts. When it feels as though you just want to bash your head against [...]
Today I learnt a very important lesson. I know why kids see dad as being cooler to hang out with than with mom. I took Kyla to the clinic this morning, leaving Jessie and Jack with b. Just as I start driving home, I get a message from b telling me not to get a [...]
its been a seriously hectic last few weeks! 3 weeks to be exact. our beautiful baby girl is now 3 weeks old! in some ways, i feel as though she has always been here, in others, it feels so brand new still. We have all been going through the adjustment phase. the kids have handled [...]

thats was jessie’s first question when we walked into our dark house tonight. b and i both cracked up! it was too cute. she is growing up so fast that its a bit frightening! she is becomming a little girl before my eyes, no longer a toddler, a beautiful little girl. i am so proud [...]
