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!
Oh my poor blog!

Well I have once again begun to neglect my blog. I have been so busy playing with the kiddos and reconnecting with friends on another on another website. I am so excited to be catching up with friends from school. Most are married with children now. It is funny to me to see their photos with their families. I keeping seeing them walking around with their books at school.

We are all grown up now. I wonder how many of us are doing what we thought we would be doing when we grew up? I know that I didn't invision having 5 children that I homeschool, and I didn't have a clue I would be married to a Naval Officer.

I didn't go back to school after I got my associates degree. I only followed my career path for less than a year before I made the decision to stay home with the kiddos never to return to work. Wow now that I think about it I have haven't had a job since 1998. It is funny how my life turned out better than I could have hoped for, seeing as I didn't hope or dream for any of the current things in my life. Just goes to show that the Good Lord knows better than me ;-)

I never have never for one second regretted the decision I made to stay home with my kids. I love them because I am their mama and I like them because they are genuinely nice people. And as for my husband, well what can I say he is amazing. He has worked very hard and made many sacrifices, especially deployments overseas in order to give me and my children the chance to have an incredible life! I will never be able to put my gratitude for him into words. He is the bomb!

Anyway, I just wanted to update the blog to let others know why I haven't posted in the last few days. For now I am going to putz around on the computer and watch t.v. Hope everyone is having a fabulous night!

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
