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!
We are back to our old crafty selves. We (all of us girls anyway) have been working on our crochet and knitting projects. I have been able to finish two hats and continue working on a scarf I had started before the hats in last few days.
The girls are working on pot holders. I have to take pictures of the finished product...well at least one of them. Paxton finished hers. She made it for my big pots. I love to see them collaborating and helping each other. I find watching the concentration on their faces very satisfying. And when I am priveleged to witness their love and patience with each other makes my heart sigh with contentment.


I will be posting pictures of the hats very soon. I just forgot to photograph them before I sat down to write today. Soon, I will get my scatter brain unscattered. I am not sure that it will happen as long as we are still living in this camper. I still find it amazing that we have been living in this camper for almost a month already. Whew!

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
