Thunderstorms (the nice kind)
Slugs (all the way up on the second story window)
I am thankful for ~
* brisk, early, morning walks where the quiet allows me to enjoy time with God
* youth who are pro-life : defending the rights of the most vulnerable; women (and men) in the womb as well as the sick and elderly.
* cheap airline tickets! (I'm taking three of the kids to go visit my mom mid-Feb.)
From the school room ~
A look into our Chemistry class (Homeschool Connections)
For labs, Miss Ester first watches the teacher complete the lab on a YouTube video and then performs the lab herself.
From the kitchen ~
I really dislike meal planning.
I try not to complain since we do have food at least.
Last year, I took the challenge of preparing a monthly menu for each month. I had so many recipes that my monthly plans rarely resembled one another. The best part is that I remembered to actually keep each one.
What I just read ~
SO good!
In addition to that, I recently finished the book, Winter Garden, and I do not recommend it.
The story lines (there were two main conflicts going on) were real however, the one was so different from the other that my brain had a difficult time adjusting from one conflict to the other. There was sex, and the sprinkling of elicit description really was unnecessary and kind of ruined the book for me. I would not want my daughters to read this because of the descriptive sex scenes.
My plan is to read 25 books this year. We shall see!
Around the house ~
I ordered our newest peg doll from my favorite shop on Etsy. He is nearby as we read our St. Valentine books.
These two marched in the March for Life (Dallas).
A recent date with my man that consisted of Capri pizza and Pinot Noir.
We recently celebrated Miss Clementine turning 6!! Oh my!!
I am listening to ~
the hum of the furnace. Our mornings are chilly, but the afternoons are gorgeous. Tomorrow, we are going to the zoo for the day.
Coming down the pike ~
Wednesday - Field trip to the Dallas Zoo
Thursday - ice skating lessons for Miss Mabel and Miss Clementine
Friday - basketball tournament for Stan the Man
A last photo to share ~
Bike rides. Lots and lots of bike rides these days!
Can you believe that we are at the end of January? Already?!
