my journey, destination unknown
Summer’s here, and it’s time to celebrate!! This past week, we celebrated “National Donut Day”, “Iced Tea Day”, “ET Movie Premiere Day” and “National Peanut Butter Cookies Day”. Camille celebrated “national Sewing Machine Day” and “Kitchen Klutzes Day” too. Coming up this week: 17: Eat Your Vegetables Day 18: International Picnic Day 19: Garfield’s Birthday…
The girls made popsicles today — it is summer after all!
A few months ago, I wrote about how I’ve longed to become a Red Cross volunteer for decades (decades?!?). A couple weeks ago, while I was working as a public safety (Decatur Police and Fire CAPS) volunteer at the Arts Festival, I was introduced to a Red Cross volunteer, and I begged for an introduction….
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a good photo of Lucy before — I’m so happy she and Camille have become good friends! It is always a joy to have Lucy along for the ride 🙂
We finally finished up with our Decatur scavenger hunt this evening — what fun!!
I thought I had Item 3 from 22 Things Happy People Do Differently in the bag. It’s what I preach. And though I often practice it, when I get too stressed, I feel defeated by every “challenge”. I think I need to review these items each and every day to remind myself! This week, the…
Chloe and Phelix reading as we drove home from Cloudland Canyon …
This week, we completed only *six* more of our summer passport activities. Uh oh…. falling behind already. We’re going to have to work hard at having fun in order to stay on track. This week we completed: 8. Flower headbands: 3 jun 2013 26. Decatur Scavenger Hunt: 5 jun 2013 30. Do a jigsaw puzzle:…
The hike down wasn’t too bad, even if not well signed. The march back up to the top? That was a LOT of stairs!
We had fun doing this Cluetown scavenger hunt. I’d love to see it expanded into more far reaching, more challenging, maybe even team or collaborative challenges. Why stop now?? Want to share a photo from a hometown of your this week? Link up below! Please share a link back to this page in your post…
On our way up to Cloudland Canyon, Chloe did some reading. She wants to quit the summer reading program since it is too stressful to record reading hours as opposed to just reading for fun. (That’s my girl! 🙂
Last San Francisco Photo Friday, I promise! It’s been almost two months since the trip, so time to finish up and move onto our trip to NYC and our summer camping adventures. I had no clue how to get to the top of Telegraph Hill in order to visit Coit Tower – a place I…
One of Camille’s suggestions of things to do for our Summer 2013 Passport was to make flower headbands. Not really my thing, but she made hers. Looks like something a bride might wear, but I’m sure it is for some costume that she’s working on!
Summer’s here, and it’s time to celebrate!! This past week, we celebrated “Hug Your Cat Day” and “National Yo Yo Day” (although Chloe’s yo-yo broke the day before the holiday…). And of course, I celebrated “National Go Barefoot Day” as I celebrate that almost every single day! Coming up this week: 10: Iced Tea Day…
Today we started our “Downtown Decatur” scavenger hunt from Cluetown. Unfortunately, thunderstorms rolled in. Thankfully, the clue we were working on at that moment led us TO OUR HOME!
So, how did it go, my happiness project topic for May? Als, not so good. I had a couple of truly low periods during the month. I did not have enough energy to even attempt to do the things that might have helped me improve my energy levels. But ever since getting out of town…
Tonight we walked over to the library to hear one of our longtime favorite kindie bands — Lunch Money!
As we continue with our field trips related to our Georgia history studies, I decided to find a field trip that was close to a state park where we could camp. So last weekend, we headed to the Travelers Rest Historic Site. Only open on Saturdays form 9-5, we couldn’t make it on a weekday….
I picked Phelix up from the boarders this morning. When he got home, he ran to my bed and fell sound asleep. I think he had too much fun this weekend with all his friends!
I’m still struggling with the second item of 22 Things Happy People Do Differently. I will continue to try to treat *everyone* with kindness. This week, the challenge is to: 3. See problems as challenges. I say this to Chloe all the time. Unfortunately, I have not been great at following this advice for myself…
