When I was in first grade I went to a Private School where they taught us French. From that moment on, I always fantasized about a trip to Paris or being able to speak French fluently (I was always pretending that I could but all I could really say was “bonjour, call me Jeanette”). After first gradeContinue reading “My French Opportunity”

How We Survive On One Income
When people find out that I am a Stay at Home Mom they automatically assume that my Husband must “make a lot of loot”. That just isn’t the case. Sure, he makes an average salary but we really had to change our lifestyle to make it work. Like most of you, when Ryan and IContinue reading “How We Survive On One Income”
Holy Bad Day
Today, has been a hard day. Think, “if I wasn’t in a public place right now someone would be really hurt” kind of a day. Fo realz. Half serious. Thank goodness I was in public. It has been some time since I have had one of these. My blood pressure is still boiling. I can understand howContinue reading “Holy Bad Day”
Be An Encourager
” Therefore encourage one another and build each other up…” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Most of the time, I am walking around thinking about how horrible of a Mom and Wife I am. I am always thinking about my failures and short comings and how my family deserves better and how hopefully, I have not ruinedContinue reading “Be An Encourager”
My [Other] Boy
I’m sorry, I know I have not written a lot about our experience with Anton, our German Exchange Student. There have been a lot of things I would love to have written about but I want to be respectful of his privacy and because we are bound by a contract. And, I don’t want to sayContinue reading “My [Other] Boy”
Meh.
Hello. It’s me! Janet, wife to Ryan. Mother to Lucy and Abram and a half Mother to a cool Exchange Student named Anton. Just thought I would leave a refresher since I’ve been missing and you probably have forgotten about me. So, what’s been going on? I have been losing my mind over here. NotContinue reading “Meh.”
Smoke Break
Do you know that new Carrie Underwood song called Smoke Break? Well, here is why I need one. Thursday I was told I have Hyperthyroidism. Saturday my son broke his Collar Bone. Today, I hit a parked car while trying to get my daughter to school. W.T.H! Super sad about the Thyroid thing but happyContinue reading “Smoke Break”
I Hate Kindergarten
It’s true. Ever since Lucy started Kindergarten, she simultaneously became a grumpy, mean old Monster. Now, I know that 90% of the reason is probably because she is tired and when Lucy is tired is shows up as rebellious attitude. And, I know she has to follow instructions all day long in school so probablyContinue reading “I Hate Kindergarten”
Kindergarten, Day 1
Today marks the first day of the next 12 years. I wouldn’t say it started off on a high note. Of course, on the only day she is not allowed to sleep in, she sleeps in and I have to wake her up for school. Me: Lucy, good morning! Lucy: I don’t want to wakeContinue reading “Kindergarten, Day 1”
The Big Year
On Monday, my first-born will be starting full day Kindergarten. Though she has been to Pre-school for the past two years, I am not sure how I am going to handle this since she has mainly been at home with me for the past five and a half years. <insert ugly cry> I am happyContinue reading “The Big Year”
