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!
Successful Hunt...

Zachary had his very first kill today. I, personally have a very hard time witnessing this. However, I am very proud of him and his accomplishment. He did skin and clean it. He is also going to eat it. Jud told him from the get go that if he killed anything he had to clean it and eat it. So now my grandmother explained how to cook it.

It was also a very good science lesson on dissecting an animal. Up close and personal he showed the girls all the different body parts. Braji couldn't watch, but all the other kids were pretty intrigued. Or at least they were more intrigued than they were grossed out. Me, well I was pretty grossed out. As the mom though I had to take all the pictures.

So, Congradulations Zach!!!

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
