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!

Hello again,


Sadly, many days have come and gone since I thought I would start to write again. A home remodeled, a camping trip, another trip cancelled by an automotive crisis, family and friends have paid their visits and though, I have so many things to tell you of, my life is so incredibly full that it seems I may never have the time.
Ya know, it honestly doesn't seem that I will be able to fit it in anywhere in the near future. Maybe I need to just commit to writing once or twice a week...once seems more reasonable. I really do enjoy writing however, I have said it before and I will say it again, the busyness of my life with my kiddos needs to come first.
I only have them here in this home with me for a season and then I will pine for the days that at present have me feeling frazzled. I will long for the days of carpools and sports, doctors and family trips. In those days that will be here way too soon, I will have time to write, to read, to knit, to spend time with my hubby alone. And in all those moments I will wonder why I ever looked ahead, why I ever felt the impatience of time. Because, with the exception of spending time with my hubby all the rest of the things are just that "things"!
Love your families...one day memories is all you'll have!!!

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
