Today was a beautiful day — felt just right in the sunshine with a sweater on. We did school and house tending in the morning, had lunch, and then headed out to meet some friends at a park.
Doodle is at such a fun age. Continue reading
At 3 1/4 years old, Doodle still needs a nap most days. When he gets still in the afternoons, he falls asleep so quickly. Sometimes (but not always) he even says to me, “Mama, I need my nap; I love my nap.”

A happy for a rainy day. I love how you can “see” the movement and layers of the music in this video.
Well, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today. I saw mine today too. It was a wonderfully sunny day here. Marathon had work to do today, so the kids and I ran errands in the morning and then did something different: we ate lunch at our local Waffle House. (Groan….) Continue reading
