Overwhelmed …but Optimistic
And I’ll add: sleep deprived, fueled by iced coffee and sweet tea, desperately hoping past me remembered to switch out the laundry all while scribbling hopes, dreams and ideas into random notes on my phone, trying to do Charlotte Mason proud, and avoid the urge to stuff every hour of every day with an activity.
Despite the chaos, I’m optimistic about blending all the things I love to do and be into one beautiful life.
I’m not here sharing all this to turn it around and attempt to “fix” you. I’m sharing it in case you’re out there thinking the same way I do, living the same kinda life, and hoping to come across a like minded mom.
Creating daily routines and rhythms for my kids is one way I keep my sanity.
I've put together 9 of my most used downloads that help my kids (and me) stick with morning & evening routines, school day routines, and household chores.
The download pack also includes a set of "I'm Bored" cards. Print these out and let your kids pick an activity when they're bored!
Passion Project: Writing the Story of Theodosia Burr Alston
If you've seen Hamilton the musical then you're familiar with Aaron Burr and the song he sings with Alexander Hamilton entitled "Dear Theodosia". A fatherly letter in musical form, "Dear Theodosia" states the heartfelt hopes both Burr and Hamilton likely had for their firstborn children.
We know what tragedy befalls Philip Hamilton. But... what happened to Theodosia? How did Aaron Burr's tragic fall from grace impact her? These questions led me to uncover Theodosia's amazing story, which inspired me to embark on writing my first novel.
