my journey, destination unknown
I know, I know, You are bored of hearing about it. And I’m bored of doing it. But, once it is done, we all feel a huge sense of accomplishment. We feel free to move on to other projects. A huge sigh of relief. And a feeling of a job well-done. This week (we’re at…
Gustafer isn’t sure about Gooney quite yet. Camille knit this little guy for a new segment I’m considering for our kindie radio station/blog.
There is a chance that we will have a week (well, five days at least) at home this week. No need to get ahead, no catching up needed. Wow! What will we do? 1. Room of the week – This week is the living room. Not too bad, except for straightening out the homeschooling disasters….
Yes, they are there, just outside that door.
Earlier this summer, Rob, the girls and I spent five and a half weeks living on the road. The trip was so long, the post office refused to hold our mail — mail can only be held for thirty days. “Is there an address that we can forward your mail to?” Um, no, there isn’t….
The essentials : yarn, needles and an iPad. Camille is working on knitting a Gooney Bird for an idea I’m working on for our kids’ music blog. I can’t wait to see it!
This past week, the girls and I made a *very* fast roadtrip up to the DC suburbs; the entire trip was under 60 hours, with at least 25 of those being spent in the car. The motivation? To attend the One Voice Rocks! concert in Gaithersburg. What made the trip even more special was that…
Oh man, is it ever hot?? I had the doors open for about 30 minutes this morning before I gave up. We packed our bags and headed for the mountains. The temps went down twenty degrees and grandma even has a little pool set up. We are all much cooler now.
When I first heard about the OneVoice Rocks! Festival, I knew the girls and I had to get there. Some of our favorite bands (SE rockers Lunch Money, Seattle’s Best Recess Monkey, hometown hero Robbie Schaefer) coming together? To play live music? For a great cause? Near where we love to be? How could we…
This morning, the girls followed the boys on the farm around on their morning chores. I just took photos and ate what they gathered…. fresh eggs and veggies along with yogurt made from milk from the goat.
Tuesday evening found us in Gaithersburg, MD, at the OneVoice ROCKS! concert along with a number of our kindie friends. We had a great time despite the heat. The rain shower during soundcheck did nothing to stop the show, thankfully.
Up early to work. Work for 4.5 hours. Pack and then drive for 4 hours. At the hotel, sit by the pool and then in the room — work for another 4.5 hours. This is how I manage to work while taking a crazy road trip …
Our ice cream maker has had quite the workout this summer! The freezer is now full of ice cream, since it is more fun to make it than it is to eat it …
Robbie hosted the Sirius/XM Kids Place Live13 under 13 this week. (All week counts in here are approximate.) Heading down off the chart this week is “Hula Hoop Soup” from Secret Agent 23 Skidoo‘s new CD Underground Playground. We’ve been hooked on Skidoo for at least three years now. While I was not a fan…
Tonight we rushed home from the cabin so Chloe could go to the Braves game for a birthday party and so that Camille and I could go to the Girls Rock Camp ATL showcase in midtown. Eleven bands in 3 hours has to be a record! We loved seeing the results of a one week…
Last week, my mom, the girls and I traveled up to Chattanooga to attend a Lunch Money concert. I decided to splurge a little and stay at the ever-so fun Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. Since we were in Chattanooga for less than 24-hours and some of that time was at the concert, we had to…
Who knew? Chloe has spent hours and hours and hours playing with this rope hanging from the beams on the screened-in porch at the cabin. She ties knots, she swings, she climbs. My little monkey.
On Day Four of our “epic trip out west“, we drove 499 miles, but only one of them on interstate highways! Driving the smaller roads from central Texas to southwest New Mexico, we saw dirt. Lots and lots of dirt. Usually the dirt was on the ground, but quite often it would be whipped up…
What a bunch of silly, silly girls!
It is that time of year again : time to plan our homeschooling adventures for the next year. As I wrote a couple of months ago, we are planning to do things a little differently for Camille. For Chloe, we are sticking with most everything that she has been doing, changing up only a few…
