Election Day Redux
Confession time: I am still not over the 2016 Presidential Election. I don’t know that I will ever really get over it. To go from euphoria to despair in just a few short hours, and then to see many of my fears realized over the past two years–it has...
A Knoxville Fall Weekend
Remember summer? It seems so long ago! Not the hot part–that lasted well into October here–but the not-being-in-school-and-having-daily-adventures part, which ended for us in early August. We’ve had adventures since then, if not so many; what I lack...
Obamacare Endures, and for That We Are Grateful: An Update
Well, it’s that time of year: Open Enrollment is upon us. It’s a time I both dread and welcome. I dread the clunky website and the endless data entry and the long but usually helpful calls to customer service, but I welcome the opportunity to once again...
Sydney and Calvin Have a Baby: A Book Review

To Everything a Season: Why It’s Okay to Stop Homeschooling
If you were reading this blog about four years ago, you would have seen a lot of posts about homeschooling. It was my first year teaching Lorelei at home, and I was full of plans and eager to share them. Lorelei spent her first four years of schooling at a parochial...
Meet Rameses
I am not a dog person. Confession time: I have never understood my children’s obsession with animals. While I enjoyed the occasional zoo trip as a child, animals in general did not occupy much of my thoughts. But I can fall in love with animals on an...
