The Glass Castle Book vs. Movie Questions
After seeing the movie on the night it released (and the exclusive-one-night-only post film interview with Jeanette Walls), I have been really thinking about how I feel about the movie. The book isn’t just something I have read for pleasure. It is one of my favorite books, one I have taught multiple times in my freshman… Continue reading

2017-2018 Homeschool Resources
It’s almost that time of year again. That time where I write a post detailing our plans for the homeschool year.

JULY // A D V E N T U R E //
In 2017, I’m hunting the good stuff. I am setting aside the turmoil I see all around me and instead recording snapshots that will tell a story of fun, adventure, joy, and thankfulness. This is the story of my life and I’ll choose the tone and how I want to tell it; I do that daily with my… Continue reading

Recovery from Relocation
The longer we are active duty military, the more quickly and aptly I’m able to self-diagnose and articulate the funk I’m in. What it is this time, is something I have recently described as the Post-PCS Crash, also known as Complete Depletion. There is a process to arriving at this state of being, so I’ll… Continue reading

Before we left El Paso, I needed to memorialize our time there and encapsulate all of the blessings and lessons learned… Continue reading

My *New* 100 Year Old Bed
This is a story about a bed, decorating your house with a limited budget yet filling it with things you love, and the power of the Internet. Since before Ryan and I married, I have always held a deep love for antique furniture items that tell a story. I bought a U.S. Navy desk from the… Continue reading

Six Year W.A.C.K.-a-Versary =)
Another year is under wraps! It’s really hard to wrap my mind around many things: first of all, that another full year of the Wood Academy is under our belts, second that we now officially have TWO middle schoolers, and finally, that our time in Georgia has come to an end. I frequently reflect upon… Continue reading
