Welcome!

I am a liberal-minded homeschool mom who is constantly trying to find that elusive state of balance in my life while enjoying my two energetic, yet vastly different boys.

Our wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, our spiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion, therefore it doesn’t do any good to try to get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we also get rid of our basic wonderfulness.

Throwing Marshmallows?

    One Week Down

    Let's see...we have been in Ocean City for a week now and so far we have:

    • Been to the beach 3 times
    • Ridden boogie boards
    • Built drip castles in the sand
    • Been to the waterpark once
    • Gone mini-golfing once
    • Had Jack over 3 times
    • Gone kayaking
    • Had ice cream on the boardwalk (and other places) between 8 and 10 times
    • Got the boys first painted tattoos (still need to get our annual henna tattoos)
    • Gone to our favorite breakfast place (Laytons on 16th street) twice
    • Eaten at several of our favorite dinner places:
      • Anthony's (awesome freshly carved roast beef sandwiches)
      • Mackey's (delicious seafood out on the beach)
      • Fish Tales (awesome place for kids and parents alike)
      • Fager's Island (fun outside deck dining)

    I keep reminding the boys that we have all summer in which to do things and that it is ok to save some stuff for later.

    But hey, we are having fun! Oh yeah, and they sleep r e a l l y  good down here...

    My boys really want henna tattoos. We tried to get them in May, but the place that had them didn't start doing them till Memorial Day and we left before that. Let's put that on the to do list.

    Maybe I'll tattoo my butt. Or perhaps a tramp stamp. LOL!
