Third grade in a single file line we walked, feet shuffling, emotions unsure
Waiting for the bomb threat all-clear
And she asked if I prayed
Sleep-overs, Ace Of Base sing-a-longs, original song writing, and a second house to call my home
Growing up, growing apart and back together again
Born To Be
Toddlers twisted around legs, babes in our arms
Wading through the emotions; long days, tired days, tantrums, dirty diapers and tears
Being a Mom of 2 under 2 - MOPS
I came with a lists of questions and the reluctant feeling..."I don't want my kids to be weird"
She made coffee, pulled out textbooks, workbooks and we laughed about our shared feeling
Homeschool
Together
All our cares start to not seem so silly, or they're rendered ridiculous
Because we share them
Caring for each other
Bound together in the little things
Ready to face the big ones
Together
Because life is better when you know you're not alone
I can't imagine life without my
What! You toos?
Linking up with the Five Minute Friday crew
Writing for 5 minutes about one word - CARE

Oh I absolutely love this. Though your words are much more eloquent than our conversation was, my long time best friend and co-mother of toddlers and I had this same conversation the other day. God given friendship is truly one of life's greatest blessings (especially when you've got toddlers)! Just stopping by from FMF. God bless!
I love the direction you took this! Can very much relate. Your writing style is fun! I'm reminded of my blessings reading your post.
I loved this. I loved the quote by CS Lewis. I had never read this one. Thank you. I wish we could have a play date. i'm in a similar boat. fresh 'ish' to homeschool . only 2 years in. enjoying the blessings and enduring the questions and feelings of inadequacies. would love to chat about what you've learned!
Blessings to you too Courtney! There really isn't much better than a good friend to share the load with us! God is so good
Thanks Maggie! Counting my blessings everyday :)
I love play dates - especially when they include coffee! Praying your homeschool adventure is fully blessed and give yourself LOTS of grace!
