Yo! Yo! It's a Go?

Successes? Really? Hmmm, maybe I can drum some up. :) 

1. I was honest. I haven't been feeling well, and it has shown up at home. As a wife, mom, and homeschooler - it has shown. But, I've tried, and I admitted it, and honesty helps me. It's not a big deal, but I'm vain with myself. I love being there for others, but to be the person who needs the listening ear? HARD!

2. Lovely has been learning things in NEAT ways, and when it tumbles forth and I see WHAT she's learned or mastered, it is the greatest THRILL for me!!! Her success, but my joy!

3. I learning to embrace an educational mess. LOL! Our "classroom" does not look as "cute" as when I first started this blog. HAHA. Most days when we leave that room, things are everywhere. YES, Lovely puts things up, and yes, I do my part, but still books, or toys, or sketch books can end up out and about with the baby and the toddler to chase around. I'm accepting that learning in the home is REAL. We're really living....and that is ok.  (Shhh, don't tell Maria Montessori! I swear the educational stuff IS put back!! lol).

So....you out there, what's shaken bacon? 

Thankful Thursday
