on our way out of the keys, we stopped at shell world, where anna picked out one million different shells to bring back to her personal hoard of memorabilia, and isaac and hazel spent their money on overpriced tourist candy. back on the mainland, our first stop was to head back over to robert is […]

florida keys pit stop.
while it seems like it was in another life completely, it was less than two months ago when we loaded up the rv for a trip back down to the florida keys. we planned for the trip to take 13 days (leaving after co-op and arriving in time for co-op two weeks later). derek and […]
mardi gras like a homeschooler.
every since our visit to new orleans (here and here) while on our epic road trip that is no more, we have a spot in our heart for mardi gras. this year, at our co-op, we have met some families who hail from the new orleans area, and managed to get an invite to a […]
november, randomness.
after a month filled with exciting travel in october, november was pretty chill. even though it’s not quite the same as fall in western new york, it’s still my favorite season in north carolina. cooler temps. pumpkin themed foods. upcoming holidays. falling leaves. fewer bugs. you get the idea. here’s how our november went. we […]
crayola museum.easton, pa.
after two legs of the trip, we found ourselves just outside easton, pennsylvania, home of the crayola museum. this is another spot that we visited when we were very first on the road, and we were pretty excited to go back again. i took the kids, which gave derek some time to do his actual […]

may miscellany. a wee bit of april, too.
well. i’m up to the end of may with my blogging catchup. now it’s time for that one post that details the random bits of our life that don’t fit into a post. they aren’t adventures. they aren’t tales of new dogs or new houses or quilts or birthdays. they are regular life things, mostly. […]
easter eggs. 2019.
back home, in north carolina, we settled into our “local” campground, while we looked for a house. it was sort of whirlwind, so i’m sure my timeline might get out of whack, but i do know it was almost easter. so, we obviously had to dye eggs. we may have picked up one or two […]
