Throwback Tuesday: Learning on the Lazy Days of Spring

Image
  Originally posted April 2, 2013 when my boys were 9, 8, & 6.    I've heard of the lazy, hazy days of summer but today was definitely a lazy spring day.  Myself and my middle son are both still in our pajamas and it's already after lunch! I went to bed early and slept late this morning but I'm still feeling very tired and un-energized for some reason.  Luckily, we had no pressing plans for today and so I decided to just go with it. Evan woke up asking me to help him pack his bag for a sleepover he's having tonight so I helped him and then made breakfast for everyone while they watched The science of Disney Imagineering: Friction .       Once the movie was done they started playing and working on their geography fair projects.  The fair is next week so we're trying to finish up.  Ian's board is all done and we've packed up the Lincoln Logs and books to go with it.  He spent part of his morning reading Klondike Gold , since ...

Talking About it Tuesday #64

 Happy April Fool's day! I'm very excited that it's finally April since that is when we start to get some more warm and sunny days and I am so ready for those. I even broke out my flip flops this past weekend despite the near constant rain in the forecast.  We had so many lovely Easter and spring themed posts linked up with us last week along with lots of yummy looking recipes and some lovely posts that made me want to get out and travel the world. Thank you all for the lovely of variety of subjects you share each week. You help make this link up great! The link with the most views from last week's party:   Spring Awakening: A Garden's Journey by Thrifting Wonderland A few that caught my eye: Tuesday Tidbits #317 Desert Love by Two Trails One Road Rigatoni Primavera by The Copper Table    Style Imitating Art: "The White Rabbit" by Marsha in the Middle    This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone will share all sort...

Cards and Scrapbook Pages I Made in March (2025)

I had only made 2 cards in March for my card chain challenge group and then just yesterday I sat down and whipped up 4 more (they reverse loaded so the top 4 cards are the newest)! I have been hard at work on my Hawaii scrapbook pages though and I am officially more than 1/2 way done with our trip!     Linking up with:

Share 4 Somethings in March 2025

Image
  The prompts for the entire year will be the same each month—some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of.  Some things I've loved: We loved our time at the orchid show; it was so nice and warm and sunny in the greenhouses and the flowers were so pretty.  We all LOVED Ovo so much! It was a fabulous show! Evan and I loved our day trip to the aquarium (even if we did wish it had lasted longer; it seems like the exhibits keep shrinking year after year). Some things I've learned: I learned some new recipes we learned so much about so many species of orchids at the show Some things that went well: The ice and snow have melted so we've had some great hikes; many of them with friends! Thompson Dam Cedar swamp trail Lime rock preserve Some things I let go of: I cleaned out my closet a bit more and donated 2 bags of clothes; mostly winter stuff that I haven't worn all season. Linking up with: Final Fridays, Spread the K...
