march (very non-)madness

Posted on March 31, 2025April 10, 2025by sarah

summer beach trip. the aquarium, etc.

Posted on July 22, 2024January 25, 2025by sarah

up to the u.p.

Posted on June 16, 2024January 6, 2025by sarah

Posted on October 16, 2023November 8, 2023by sarah

we didn’t do a very good job of participating in fall themed activities this year. pumpkin patches and whatnot. but, we did manage to squeeze in a weekend excursion to asheville to get the heck out of winston-salem and see some of the color changing leaves of the mountains. we drove out after school on […]
