Why I Will Keep Posting, No Matter How Sporadically

Just so you know, I haven't forgotten about you!

Also I actually do know the difference between the days of the week.

I intended to post on Sundays, and that worked out initially but then Sundays got busy. Then Mondays flew by. Then I started posting on Tuesdays semi-regularly. Then a couple of weeks went by plus I've been trying to figure out how to homeschool AND homekeep plus (same as pretty much everyone all around the country) we've been dealing with cooties.

So! My new plan is to chill out on exactly which day I end up squeezing in enough time to write here and just continue to aim for posting once a week.

I'm not stressed about it anymore (strange but true) which is cool.

But it's very important to me that I keep posting because very often I give up on things after a while, and I'm determined not to give up on this.

Now, unfortunately, I've been working on some of those Before & After type projects lately... but without taking Before pictures. Oops. And I keep realizing that I've forgotten to take Before pictures while I'm in the middle of doing the project, at which point I've already made so much progress that it wouldn't make sense to take a picture right then. Sooo... maybe I'll just come up with another category, such as, "Mostly Homey Content" and use it to provide a peek into my home without the Before & After-ness. That could be cool.

Anyway, my face is congested + my baby is teething and nearly-walking + my sons don't think they need naps = I'm pretty sleepy, so this is the part where I wrap up.


What do you think about the idea of Before & After posts of projects I do? What about Mostly Homey Content posts? What other kinds of things are you interested in me writing about? I'd love to hear from you!

Back to school, but without the "back"

Hello! Sorry that I forgot about you guys, again... the long holiday weekend has messed me up a little, so another Sunday came & went without me remembering to post! My home is quiet right now, and not in that sinister, "oh crumbs, where are they and what are they up to?" kind of way. I think I'm the only one awake in the house! So I'm taking a few moments to share pictures of my two oldest blondies.

This is my biggest boy! He's 5, his favorite color is green, and he loves doing color by number activity pages.

This is my smaller (but still pretty big!) boy! He's 3, his favorite color is blue, and he loves coloring in mommy's notebooks with a pen.

Technically, we haven't even sat down to DO any school today... and I'm not sure if we will, either. Probably I'll have them do some worksheets or coloring pages while I make dinner, or something. But, that's the beauty of the fact that almost any activity can be a learning one! Especially at their ages.


Do any of you homeschool, and did you begin when your children were little like mine currently are? Even if you're not homeschooling, do you have little ones starting school this year? This is definitely a whole new adventure, and I'd love to hear from you!
