Too Many Glass Balls
To reuse Amelia’s metaphor, I’ve dropped the plastic balls, which includes this blog. My slow down in posting started by me living in the moment and enjoying life and my family. I wanted to soak the good in not try to process it in words. I had the energy to participate fully in life, which…

Car Rides Can Be Awful
It’s funny as life marches on you slowly forget things from the past, until something triggers the memory. This week I was reminded how hard car travel can be with littles, especially when everyone in the car is neurodivergent. The first trigger was when my mom called and said she was coming to my house…

I have an uncle whose standard greeting is “Hello Beautiful!”. I love it. He genuinely means it because he understands thr idea that you are beautiful because you are you and it comes across whenever he greets me.

Laundry
Laundry. I feel like it is a necessary evil. The easiest solution is for everyone to become a nudist and then there would be no more laundry. I don’t think that it is the most practical solution for a myriad of other reasons. Frostbite comes to mind. When my kids were younger I just did…

Unschooling
Last week we went on a cruise. It was wonderful, relaxing, and warm. We got home late Saturday night. Sunday night Butterfly spiraled into school anxiety. Some comments included that I don’t like school. School is hard. I can’t learn. The kids are mean. The whole week we were on the cruise she did not…
