We’re loving our current read-aloud- James Herriot’s Treasury for Children: Warm and Joyful Tales by the Author of All Creatures Great and Small.

Today’s mission- Clean Out the Fridge!! Yes, even the fridge needs some semi-regular decluttering. When keeping food to feed a family of 9, we can’t afford to give up fridge space to old food turned mad scientist experiments! I would consider exposing myself with a “before” picture of the interior of my fridge today, but [...]
This kid likes to swing. This kid likes to pick dandelions while strolling through the overgrown yard. (It will be a good day around here when the old lawn mower gets fixed!)
