Making my day.

More sun shining in....but not melting any of the newly fallen snow...and the fact that King Winter saw fit to answer a certain birthday wish of mine.


This girl and her patented process of making "Doodle cuts". And for those who aren't familiar, "Doodlecutting" is where you cut something out of paper and make it into something else.


A homeschool lesson plan that has duped me into thinking that I may sometimes know what I am doing.
Have a great day.

These days

*seem to fly past in a blur
*find my freezer full despite my re-arranging and arranging again
*I am a felting maniac
*see me asleep as soon as my head hits my pillow
*find me loving Grade 1 again.
I think we have found our groove (for now). Things were shaky...I was shaky. And as these things usually go, I worried more than was necessary. Now, with the welcome in of Autumn the slate is clean and all is well.
When will I learn????

A thousand words

I am finding it tricky to come up with words to go along with this picture. The toothless smile says more to me than any words could. Summer is here. The days stretch on. And each morning the reminder is put out there..."nope, no school today". Or for any day in the foreseeable future. My feet are firmly entrenched in the now that is our summer. My mind wandering forward to the fall, when our days will still be our own. And school will not interrupt my education again, at least not for Grade one.
And wow, does it ever feel right.
