March was busier than I expected with birthdays for both boys, their big party, our committee work culminating in the dinner auction we had been working on for 6 months, a family wedding, and heading out for spring break. Every week it felt like I could only handle what I needed to for that week, very little looking ahead happened. But now, I think?, April is looking a little calmer! We'll see if that holds true.
Looking back:
1 year ago: Hobbies: Puzzles
2 years ago: Non-Parenting Books That Made Me Rethink Parenting
3 years ago: Simplifying Allowances
4 years ago: The Spring Switch (I still do this, pretty much exactly like I outline here, on March 1st every year)
5 years ago: Corona Quarantine - week #2 (so glad I documented this time!)
6 years ago: Dingle (still one of our favorite places we've ever visited)
7 years ago: Things That Makes Me Feel Like Me (fresh off getting Sam!)
8 years ago: Chairs With History
9 years ago: A Major Improvement to our Pantry (Cupboard) - still SO GLAD I painted all of these.
10 years ago: Covering Books with Fabric
11 years ago: Top Five...places I want to visit (international) - I've since been to...zero of these. But would still like to someday!
12 years ago: Making room for baby & some other stuff (this is one of my posts that I randomly think about the most, mainly because Luke was already born but we didn't know it yet.)
13 years ago: Paperwork is In
2) Typical homeschool view!
3) Fantastic Sunday morning brunching with my family.
4) I didn't intend for this to be so breakfast food heavy but donut when setting up for our dinner/auction...
5) Which was the SAME DAY as a niece's wedding. I made it to parts of both but was also exhausted by the end of the day (which was also 11pm...)
6) Making compost cookies! I usually just make these once a year!
7) Solid cookie spread for the double birthday party. I'm not a big cake person and this requires pretty much no dishes to serve and eat.
8) A miniature highland cow on a field trip with Sam's class (my Dad drove the bus!). It was adorable.
9) Putt-Putt arcade for Luke's birthday!
10) Skee-Ball is the BEST arcade game even though I am not great at it.
11) The start of spring here...
12) But then in Tennessee where it really was spring! It was wonderful!
13) There is a Diana butterfly in the Sugarland Visitor's Center of the Smoky Mountains NP. An presumably around the park but we've never seen one.
14) Not a great view, a lot of rain this day.
15) Flowering bush of some sort at the KOA!
16) Wonderful view from our cabin, even without leaves on all the trees.
Miles ran: 3.1 and that was over 2 runs...
Currently watching: Nothing! We've had such busy weekends with weddings and traveling and birthday party that it's been awhile since we've watched something AND a really long time since Matt & I were watching a show or something consistently.
Most read post this month: Reading Recap - February 2025 and then Kool-Aid Cookies (I have some of these in my cookie jar right now)
