The First Day of “School”

Today was a lovely little reminder of one of the finest pleasures of homeschooling… getting popular places like the zoo all to ourselves! We got to actually see the animals, including the most adorable baby rhino every- Juba, who was born July 1st… rhino’s aren’t the cutest animals but this little guy is pretty cute! Later in the afternoon we had some art, picked carrots from our little urban garden, and talked about DNA and evolution… not bad for a typical homeschool day!

My Happy Place

{My happy place  is}

watching the sun dance in my daughter’s hair,

taking a bite out of a home cooked bacon cheddar burger,

smelling sand and water,

wearing a well-loved tee, jeans, and flip flops;

chatting with a good friend while we listen to our children laugh,

a feel of a good dog by my side,

planting jelly beans that turn into suckers with the help of pixie dust,

babies giggling in Home Depot buckets,

a stolen kiss in the kitchen while chaos ensues,

green glittery nail polish,

 77 degree weather in MARCH!!!

chilling on the couch watching a favorite TV show,

finally catching up on all my computer stuff and enjoying the quiet.

{where is your happy place?}
