A good day! My favorite time to be on the river is midweek. It is quiet and peaceful. Thankful for my family, time to relax, and the beauty of the outdoors! Now, I can’t wait until next year when the girls are homeschooled again and life is on our time!
This morning the girls had auditions for a movie. People have asked us why, since they can be shy? We said, for the experience, and so they can build confidence. Most people’s response, “but what if they don’t get the part – how would that help their confidence?” Maybe we look at things differently, but the confidence builder is getting up there and being comfortable to be you! They did great… and as far as we know, at this point, they didn’t get the part, but they enjoyed the experience!
It was a beautiful day at the zoo!
Today’s medicine: sunshine, cool breeze, oneness with nature, and family time!
So proud of these two girls. They both received Superior Achievement awards for the 3rd 9 weeks, highest award possible. It was the 3rd time for both of them to be on honor roll. Iz also tied a 3rd grader for FIRST place in a school-wide book writing contest *attached is a sneak peak of the book*. So proud of my girls! Thankful for their teachers, and blessed to be their mama!
I am a mom and a REALTOR, but I was a mom first. Here are some helpful hints about bringing children to an open house. My girls love going to look at houses. I wish I would have used some of these ideas in the past. So, if you are going out tomorrow to view some open houses (with kids it tow), you may want to try one these fun suggestions. Happy House Hunting!

This guy and his sisters prepared our dinner salad: mixed greens, tomato, peeled cucumber, avocado, oranges, chives, crushed pepper, and blue cheese vinaigrette. They did a great job!
Got to spend the day with my boys! Kbug’s favorite sentence of the day: “I want to see more baby gators, daddy.” I wish his sisters were with us!
This guy has been sick ever since beginning daycare. He finally slept for more than an hour at a time last night…in fact, he slept through the night! He isn’t 100%back, but if this smile is any indication of how he is feeling…Therefore, we have decided for me to quite teaching, and to stay home with him beginning in January. The girl’s will finish up the school year, and then we will be praying about the possibility of returning to homeschooling as they finish up what they started.
