The Big Bang
Remote learning assignment: Chose a topic you would like to learn more about. Do some research online. Write two paragraphs on what you learned and your thoughts about it. It may surprise you that the big bang was not an explosion, it sure surprised me! The big bang was a sudden expansion of space. Over… Continue reading The Big Bang
Creative Kidface
Even though last week was technically Spring Break to keep our routine and sanity I hosted a relaxed learning week. More time was spent reading Tom Sawyer on the couch and discussing life. We watched The Hate You Give and discussed many of the injustices blacks are faced with today. The compassion and understanding our… Continue reading Creative Kidface
To Us
My husband and I just had our six year anniversary on the 23rd. We have been together for eight and a half years. Looking back on our wedding pictures from 2014 and our renewal of vows pictures from 2015 I am reminded of how much things have changed. We are both slower, rounder, less youthful,… Continue reading To Us

Now, this particular story fills me with pride. Not only am I proud of our daughter, but also of myself… Continue reading Halloween – Pushin’ Boundaries

Looking… Continue reading 5 Years & Counting!

Taylor keeps us on our toes, constantly challenging us to learn and grow right along with her. This time however, it was someone else who made us consider all sorts… Continue reading Doing it better than before
Problems

This week while reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, I came across this quote: "When we feel that we're choosing our problems, we feel empowered. When we feel that our problems are being forced upon… Continue reading Problems
Limitless
I want to teach my daughter that she can do anything. Anything that she puts in time and effort to achieve. Nothing is only for boys or only for girls. If there is something she wants to do or learn it can be done. Everything just takes research, practice and dedication. In the last few months I… Continue reading Limitless
