On Saturdays the kids get up on their own and watch shows, breakfast is cereal. They are getting better and better at this, and it’s so nice to get that little break on the weekend! Especially since we’re not sure when we’ll be able to have date night again, we are soaking up any extra […]

Guess what we DIDN’T do today? We didn’t go to school, we didn’t stroll through the mall window shopping, and we didn’t sink our toes into the sand of the beaches of the Pacific. BUT! Everything is A-okay. 🙂 Kiddos did a little sit down work to help with the cabin fever from our latest

We had a full day, despite the winter storm that hit Colorado today! Yesterday we nearly hit 70 degrees and today we got about a foot of snow! Typical Colorado craziness. 🙂 We started our day with our devotional and the bigs read the verses. Javi also mentioned that he stayed in bed reading for

Another sunny day, which is great because snow is in the forecast tomorrow! The kids all slept in again, which we were super thankful for since C was up several times last night.

It was all a bit unsettling and I had a hard time staying calm today, especially as Spain announced they were heading into lockdown for 15 days. It’s frustrating to feel like you are not in control of your own life, and I realized that

Well, we successfully survived Friday the 13th AND a full moon in the same week! Big kiddos went to school today, probably their last school day for a while, and the littles hung out with us at home. Some fun things from today; we ordered a new DSLR for me, Lover’s new phone arrived, and

Apparently I needed a mental health day today! I spent the morning reading a book from the trilogy I picked up at the library, in between managing chores and school for the kids and baths and such. The bigs have really been enjoying Explode the Code, and are nearly done with their workbooks. Soon I’ll
