MAY-hem (2025).
it’s that time of year. when all the anniversaries and birthdays and mothers days and end of school concerts and graduations and field days and class parties come together to create the most chaotic month of mayhem for our little crew. and then there’s the in between stuff. and that’s what i’ll be talking about […]
april things.
with the school calendar moved up a bit, april has gotten a little bit busier. it used to be the calm before the storm, complete with a bit of spring break crammed in there. but now all of the end of year stuff really starts gearing up. and, there was literally one day off from […]

thanksgiving in batavia.
since we didn’t make it to ny all summer, we decided to head up for thanksgiving this year. when we homeschooled and then in covid and then when the schools gave a whole week for thanksgiving, it was a lot easier. but with kids in activities and work and my school, it was a little […]
