Ramblings, Sentiments, Rantings and Musings

My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Gymnastics
My girls LOVE gymnastics.
Two of them have competed and will continue to compete. The other two take advanced recreational. I have never seen children love an activity as much as my four girls love the gym.
They dream about it I bet. The do flips and walk overs and who knows what else through my living room on a daily basis.
To them there is no other physical activity that even comes close to being as wonderful as gymnastics.
I am grateful that they have this love, this focus, and this strong commitment to gymnastastics. I love to watch the determination that my girls possess and I love that this crazy sport makes them so happy.
The only thing that comes close for any of them would be horseback riding for Brianna. I will post about that another time, for today it is gymnastics!

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
