This is the second post in a four part series. The first post is, “The Stuff Nobody Ever Talks About.” The last two years of my life have been crazy. In case you haven’t followed along with our story, let me summarize. We moved twice in a 15 month period. We decided to, and did, […]
Life As A Roller Coaster
This is the second post in a four part series. The first post is, “The Stuff Nobody Ever Talks About.” The last two years of my life have been crazy. In case you haven’t followed along with our story, let me summarize. We moved twice in a 15 month period. We decided to, and did, […]
The Stuff Nobody Ever Talks About
Jeff informed me that this is what I should rename my blog. He thinks “The Stuff No One Ever Talks About” would be a much more fitting name than Five in Six. It made me laugh because lately that is a pretty accurate description. I just don’t do the whole ‘fake’ thing, you know. In fact, that is probably my […]
Craft Deficient
I. Am not. Crafty. I know – it’s sad. I mean, I have five children, and I homeschool. How can this be? Honestly, I don’t really know, but the Lord chose not to gift me with craftiness. Or artsyness*. Or cute handwriting. You will never visit my blog and see some craft I came up with, my latest piece of refinished […]
It’s whose fault???
This is the third post in the three-part series, “The Whole Story”. The first post can be read here. What’s the magic fix? What changed? Well, I can tell you it wasn’t the babies. I mean, sure, they have changed. They have slowly but surely continued to make progress, but they still have issues. The moral of […]
When Things Don’t Go As Planned
This is the second post in a three-part series called “The Whole Story”. The first post, Breaking the Silence, can be found here. I have been a believer in Christ, for a long, long time. A good 27 years, I think. In my journey with the Lord, there have been some amazing mountain tops, but also some devastating […]
Breaking the Silence
Hello. It’s me. I’m actually still alive. I would apologize for not blogging for so long, but I’m pretty certain I have lost most of my readers, so it’s probably a moot point. 🙂 I’ve actually started numerous posts, but just never finished them. Or just never published them because I couldn’t quite figure out where […]
Where we are now
You may notice that it has been a good month since my last post. Let me see if I can update you. Our house sold, we bought another one, and we just moved in on Wed. evening. It turned out to be quite a comedy of errors. I don’t know why people say that because those […]
July 4th
For those of you that don’t know my husband, he is a pyromanic. That’s not actually always true – only on July 4th does he struggle with this illness. 🙂 My parents live in an area that is actually unincorporated, so we are able to shoot off fireworks there. Just to clarify, when I say […]
Nose Rings and Purple Hair
I mean, what if Livy wants to be a rapper? 😉 Once a family makes the huge decision to homeschool, they are instantly flooded with a myriad of other decisions to make – what style do they want use, which curriculum, co-op or not, which support group and so on. As we have been […]
