Day To Day News

We all have those days where good intentions are had, work is done and sleep falls fast.  lol  I love my school time with my kids.  They always have the most awesome questions.  Some that floor me, some that split my sides.  We have days were the wiggles just wont go away.  Days when eyes just can't be kept open.  Then there are those days where there is so much to do you can't see straight.  As the sun is rising earlier, air is getting warmer and birds are hopping in the yard my mind does it's normal thing and starts to plan all of these projects.  I don't intend on doing all of them, but it would be nice if I could get a few under my belt.   Painting inside and out.  Landscaping the yard with "flags" and herbs.  Organizing the garage and sealing the walls.  And the list goes on.  I would like to visit a few of my friends from where I grew up this summer, so we will have to see how that goes as well. As fo...

Hello Everyone, I hope this rainy day is finding you cozy and dry.  We got a lot done here at our little nest.  It's surprising how much you really accomplish when you write a "To Do List" and then a "What I've Done List".  I've found out that I do more than what's on the to do list and usually leave a few to dos for tomorrow. :)  I hope to write another story of my childhood tomorrow and then on Friday write a little more about my book I'm getting together to publish.  Take Care All. No Worries SKO

Life as a stay at home mom is never boring.  Most of my day is filled up with home school and house cleaning with a dash of crafting and online business.  We have the opportunities to visit relatives during the week and visit museums during hours that they are open.  We can make a split decision to pack a picnic and head to the mountains to do some nature discoveries.  Or on rainy or snowy days just decide to curl up with good books and educational movies knowing we can easily make up the work another day.  Yes, there are times when house cleaning and school work get forgotten.  Yes, there are times when online business is not even looked at.  Crafting is of no use as the spark has left it.  Those are my dark days.  I will admit that I have them.  I don't even feel like getting out of bed.  I feel like I could curl up and just cry.  People on the outside don't seem to notice I'm not my happy peppy self.  They just chalk ...

Good evening all, I hope this blog finds you healthy and happy.  Today after home schooling I will be working on the final pictures for my book I'm going to be printing soon.  I can't wait!  Once they are perfect and colored I will scan the into my work and send it off. :)   I'm excited about this set of books. The sunshine was a great revitalizer today. I think I over did it. lol  But, I did get the dishes done and the laundry done as well as the kids school work completed and two meals completed.  I'm proud of myself and I deserve a good rest.    It's always a good feeling when you get things done no matter how tired you may feel afterwards.  I was going to video some crafts today but will have to post pone that until Friday because I had to make laundry soap.  I love the smell of fresh made laundry soap. :)  I want to work on some more mice which I will sell with my books and I want to finish up my Krampus even though ...

Good afternoon all, I hope February is finding you well.  I know  a lot of people are either snowed in or fighting this flue going around.  Stay warm, safe and healthy.  Well, do we know if our prisimmons fruit will tell the truth or not?  I know they said they saw a lot of spoons in the seeds which usually means tons of snow, but so far we have been lucky with only just two days of really bad weather.  On to another subject I find house cleaning funny.  I keep picturing that puppet from the Muppet show that sang the song about windmills in his mind.  lol  Some days just feels like that.  You start in one area cleaning and just as you move along thinking you've compleated it all.....you turn around and find that the rest of your family has decided to leave their mark. :)  You have to love family.  I'm thankful I have one to care for and teach.  Speaking of teaching, we took multiple kitty play breaks today as they just...
