4th of July, Summer

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave

I'm still missing the 4th of Julys we spent in Kansas with fireworks and pretty sparkler photos, but I'm loving our Colorado celebrations with our ever growing family. I think we celebrated Independence Day the longest this year which also made the whole holiday even more fun. We even went all out on the flags and the kids took ownership over the waving! The girls are now big enough to ask questions and learn more about "why" we do things. We read books, made crafts, told stories, and ... continue reading...

June Booklist

I finished seven books in June and ended the month with a couple spilling over into July! I keep cracking myself up with my current Goodreads goal sitting at 309% in completion! I didn't realize how much I would enjoy a good book this year and how much reading I could possibly get done in this life stage. As I dig more into homeschooling, I've been reading even more with my kids which has inspired me to read on my own for pleasure too. We can devour stories in the car, sit on blankets in the ... continue reading...

100 Things I Love, About Me, Spring

100 Things I love Spring 2023

I love when spring finally comes. I love that last snow that is so wet and so heavy but comes before all the buds and blooms. It soaks the earth, giving us one more snow day but melting before the day is done. I love when the wet snows turn into thunderstorms. How the booms of thunder shake the whole house and streaks of lightning stretch across the skyline. I love seeing the storms roll in over the mountains and pour on us before they continue on down the plains. I love when the grass starts ... continue reading...

The Splash Pad at Panorama Park

Hello there SUMMERTIME! The splash pads and pools have all opened and despite the verrryyyy wet months we've been having, we're still getting out there and enjoying summer. And by very wet, I mean I cannot remember the last day it did not rain, which isn't normal for us here in Colorado! Even in these pictures you can see the storm rolling in - the storm that didn't even show up on my weather app (!!!) and the one that made us throw things in the stroller and run to the car before the floodgates ... continue reading...

May Booklist #2

Now that May is officially over, here are the other four books I read this month. I'm still laughing at the sheer number of books I've read this year. I was expecting these monthly recaps to hold 2 or 3 books max, hopefully reaching my lofty goal of 23 books - and here am I, topping out May with 8 books and sitting at 53 books for the year! This was honestly a great set - three 5 stars and a 4 - so all books I'd recommend! The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry* 5 Stars: ... continue reading...
