about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Out of sight, but not out of mind.

January 10, 2007

When we made the decision to try homeschooling mid-year, I was concerned that the boys would be reluctant to leave their friends. It wasn’t until their last few days that Jacob mentioned he would miss a few of his friends, though he was still very eager to start homeschooling. I’ve also become aware that some of their friends did not react well to the news that my boys would not be returning to school after Thanksgiving.

We’ve been pleasantly surprised by invitations from their old school friends several times since we left. I’m impressed with the parents who have taken the time to find a way to contact us. I also feel proud that my boys were the kind of friends who made a lasting impression on so many other kids.

    That’s so great! The truest friends are always the ones who stick around no matter what.

about this blog

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
