What to Read Wednesday: Easter Edition
Easter’s right around the corner, y’all! Each year I share our family’s favorite book about Easter– or as we prefer to call it, Resurrection Sunday.

Sayonara Montana
We’re going to miss Montana. This move is bittersweet in that while we’re resolute about returning home for this next season of family life, we’ll certainly miss Big Sky Country and many of it’s inhabitants.

What to Read Wednesday: Train Edition
Planes, trains, and automobiles… I love that Little Man most definitely had a train phase. He was so completely enamored with all things railroad that his third birthday was even train themed. The girls’ first train ride, before Little Man: Then there was that time we rode on a miniature train-set in Oregon and it very nearly blew his mind. Though…

Blogging Through the Alphabet (the letter i)
I’m blogging through the alphabet with fellow homeschoolers online. This week we’re on the letter I… The secret to our (relative) sanity during a typical homeschool day is music… namely sedate, instrumental music. Pretty sure the single best piece of equipment we’ve purchased for our homeschool is the wireless speaker that Husband hooked up to my kitchen iPad to pump soothing…

Last Weeks in Montana
This week has been especially fun-filled, what with Saint Patrick’s Day, Pi Day, and Spring Break on the calendar. We’re making an effort to squeeze every last drop of fun from Bozeman before heading westward for our upcoming big move. We will miss homeschooling here. Relocation can be hard on kids in general, but might especially trigger issues unique to adoption.…
