what I learned in may
Today I’m linking up with Emily P. Freeman at Chatting at the Sky to share what we learned in May. Here’s what Emily has to say about the practice: “At the end of every month, we have a regular practice here of looking back before moving forward.

book report: chapter 5
I ended last year with some very specific goals for myself in 2015. One of those goals was to read more. Instead of waiting until the end of the year to make one gigantic list, I am going to post a monthly book report of what I’ve been reading. And instead of just listing the titles,… Continue reading

the state of our garden: week 004
I almost hate to call these posts The State of Our Garden since I have done almost nothing toward putting in or maintaining it besides a trip to Lowe’s with Ryan and photographing our plants. I keep saying that my part comes when the harvest arrives. I’ll be cooking and canning and freezing. Right now, after… Continue reading

It’s the perfect storm of all of your school year commitments and obligations culminating into a period of several days. That storm was brewing for me last week. We finished our homeschool co-op, had the final… Continue reading
