How Pancakes Reminded Me To Be Frugal

September 24, 2015 Katy Leave a Comment

It was the day before our big twice-monthly shopping trip, and I was supposed to make pancakes for dinner.  Our usual gluten-free pancake recipe calls for 3 cups of oats.  I started measuring, and got to about 1 and 2/3 cups before I ran out.  In the past, I would have run to the store quickly for that one ingredient.  But I knew there had to be something else I could use. So I grabbed the Rice Krispies off the shelf, measured out the missing amount, and mixed the whole thing up with my … [Read more...]

Homeschooling Is A Little Like Having Another Baby

September 22, 2015 Katy Leave a Comment

For me, homeschooling is a little bit like having a new baby in the house.  There are all sorts of adjustments.  Routines that used to work have to be shifted to accommodate this new thing.  Everyone gets a little bit less one-on-one time because something else has taken that spot.  I stay up late at night thinking sometimes, wondering if I'm doing the right thing, or if I'm going to completely mess this one up.  I feel both completely awesome and utterly inept in the span of twenty … [Read more...]

My Ideal Day

September 2, 2015 Katy Leave a Comment

If you were to have the perfect day, what would it look like?  Mine would go a little something like this: Sleep until I wake up.  If I slept well, this will be shortly after 6:00.  I'm okay with that.   Move.  Family walk, yoga, something to get me moving and make me feel like I've accomplished something. Breakfast, at least mostly prepared the day before.  Even though I'm up and moving, I'm not completely coherent at this point in the day. Get something accomplished.  Morning is … [Read more...]

Selfish vs. Self Care

August 6, 2015 Katy Leave a Comment

I sit, wanting to write but a bit paralyzed as to where I should start.  It was an ordinary day.  Maybe that's why it was so frustrating, because it was just another ordinary day. The kids were loud and rambunctious, but not exceptionally.  I got less sleep than I wanted, but my exhaustion was mostly the good kind from actually moving around the past few days.  I felt restless and anxious, but not for any big reason other than a bit of boredom and wanderlust. I know my triggers. … [Read more...]

On Moving, And Connecting, And Realizing We’re All A Little Bit The Same

July 20, 2015 Katy Leave a Comment

I saw this picture while scrolling through the latest Postsecret post yesterday.  And it really hit home for me, because a few years ago, I could have written it.  It says: "I wish I had more of a normal childhood.  But I moved so much that I really don't think that I belong...anywhere...anymore...I think I lost myself in one of those moves." So I sent this note in to Postsecret through their Facebook page. "To the person who posted this secret about moving a lot.  My family moved on … [Read more...]
