Another snow day! It was a bit of a surprise to wake up to, and discover that school was canceled and all our other plans for the day as well! We cleaned in the morning, the kids watched a Spiderman movie, and the girls did wipe-off puzzles. I spent a long time reading to everyone, […]

After a rocky start this morning, our day smoothed out and ended up being another good day! Lover had a busy work day, so he was upstairs for most of the morning while we worked on chores, school and a fun craft. Chores took a long time because their rooms were really messy! The kids

Mondays are always full days of getting the house reset after the weekend, getting back to school work, and getting started on the week’s work. The kids did some grammar work and math worksheets in the morning, along with their chores and getting themselves ready for the day. We did a video call with my
