Sunday, August 24, 2014. 2) Kayaking. Wow. This is one awesome sport and so good for the soul. Kim asked me to come kayaking one day. I said YES.

High five). What a great group of kids and a great group of parents! 6) Fitness. I don't ever want to be posting wh...

I mean really.things that are biodegradable turn to dirt eventually.I just huck everything into the bin and voila! ANDthe bin sat for years with absolutely no one going in it except some very scary looking spiders. How quaint. Oh here she goes again." Awesome Kids Composting Site. Rory CLAIMS he can't open the lid. (But he HAD to follo...

Modern Mother Malarkey: December 2013
http://modernmommalarkey.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 8, 2013. The Box: Holiday Memories Day 1. I have decided after my perfect day at home to begin a nightly countdown to one of my favorite times of the year. Tonight I will tell the tale of my Grandma Early's Christmas box. Every year (EVERY YEAR), my 15 months younger brother and I would resist sleep, pace the basement, throw up and then spend Christmas day passed out on the couch, ill, because we were so excited. I thought that for SURE my Grandma had given me my brother's gift!

Modern Mother Malarkey: She will prick her finger on a spinning wheel
http://modernmommalarkey.blogspot.com/2014/04/she-will-prick-her-finger-on-spinning.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2014. She will prick her finger on a spinning wheel. She is currently sleeping in her bed with a makeshift eye cover (not sure what the real terminology is here), that is made out of a headband and a piece of felt. I should really just buy her an eye mask at Ardene's. True But, she did her best and I am so proud of her. So, she told me she was writing a play. Okay. One more pack of paper to spread all over her Cave of Wonders. I can handle that. MrM printed them for me.". Next day...

Modern Mother Malarkey: June 2014
http://modernmommalarkey.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. In Defense of the iPod: The Farm Kid/Technology Balance. Well my friends.technology here. Like it or not. We live in a world where one to one devices in schools is not a far off fantasy worthy of laughing at but instead already happening! Why wouldn't I let me kids carry the devices that power their future? Now, before you get all upset with me.you need to know some important things. A) My kids are very healthy.they play outside and imagine and create and run and jump and act.
