Intentional

Well, folks, I'm back for the new year!  I can't promise I'll remember to post regularly, but I'll try to post when I can.  I wanted so badly to post many of the projects and recipes we made last year but never got around to it.  Life happened.  I'm sure many of you other moms out there can identify. I'm sure many of you are reading now about making new years goals and resolutions.  I'm not one to try to jump on the bandwagon, but I've been making resolutions since before I was a teenager, and though I fail many…

Word Searches for Preschoolers and Young Elementary – FREE PRINTABLES!

Returning for Summer

I have 89 emails in my inbox. I should read them.  Or sort them.  Or something. I should be working.  Or keeping my kids from drowning our potted plants in their pool water. But I'm not. I haven't been here for about 3 months.  Three days after my last post, my oldest biological daughter's father passed away unexpectedly, and I didn't know how to deal with telling the world.  A wild mix of emotions was involved, including past hurts, what ifs, anger, some depression, grief.  You name it, I felt it.  Then dealing with his family--that was a whole issue…
