The other day I noticed Jonah looking sad, working on his letters. I asked him what was up and he quietly said, “I’m not good at letters, I don’t like them.” Well, that’s not going to work, learning is supposed to be fun. So we put our shoes on, put Zachary in the stroller and headed out to soak up some nature on a walk. I told him we were going to make letters fun again! We scoured our campground for items we could make in to letters. And he LOVED it. Once we collected a bunch of items, he couldn’t wait to lay them all out and spell his name. […]

Manatees!

One of the coolest things we’ve done yet. I really wanted to book a stay at the manatee state park but it was fully booked months ago. We were thrilled to find this place just a few minutes from our campground. The kids absolutely loved it, such a neat experience!

See the babies?! They were so cute! I wasn’t sure if the kids would like this adventure or think it was boring but we all had a blast. Manatees seek warm water and take refuge inland […]

Roadschooling at MLK National Park

One of the highlights of visiting Atlanta was visiting the MLK Jr. National Historic Site and birth place. My kids loved it and we all learned a lot. As a parent, it’s hard to have the conversations about how humans can treat one another so horribly, but it’s vitally important. Jude, my empath, soaked it all up and took every ounce of pain and injustice straight to his heart. “Momma, that wasn’t that long ago…”. “But why, I don’t understand why people hate.” This hands on learning experience and the conversations it brought about solidified why we are doing this trip, this way […]

Adventure baby

He loves it when it gets warm enough to be outside for a bit.

little head, little brain

This dog. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. She drives me crazy. She annoys me and makes me laugh all at the same time. Her personality feels bigger in a smaller space. When I tell Pepper “little head, little brain” she just tilts it to the side and looks confused lol. Taryn scowls when I say it but she knows Pepper is dumb sometimes, she just thinks it’s cuter than I do 😂

Fishing at Stone Mountain

I took the kids for a walk down to the fishing dock across from Stone Mountain. The view and the sunset were gorgeous, but I only had my phone camera on me at the time. We took advantage and went back on the last sunny day in the forecast for awhile with my real camera. And I am so glad we did.

I’m pretty sure Jonah was marching away to grab a stick. For real, Jonah finds sticks everywhere. We were in an empty parking lot the other day and somehow that boy found a stick with no trees and nothing around us. Jude is right, sticks find Jonah. At the end of […]
