firstly. let me go ahead and throw this out there. this post is disorganized and all over the place. i did my best to group like activities and such. but mostly, it’s just 100% random. but that’s sort of how our december was, i suppose. our first order of business in december was procuring a […]
friends
and then the crazel was six.
after thanksgiving, the next major event in the lidbom calendar is the birthday of one hazel grace lidbom. somehow she’s already six. the crazelnut is still super hilarious, always trying to be the class clown of the family. she’s super smart and now loves to read. she is snuggly, sweet, and generous, and i’m told […]
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 […]
some november field trips.
one day, we were at the library, picking out books, looking up books to put on hold, guessing the number of pieces in the candy jar, when our friendly librarian told us that someone had just returned the library’s pass to the local science museum. we jumped at the chance to check it out for […]

cow and ice cream field trip.
on the day after our bethabara park field trip, the girls and i had another field trip on the schedule. this one, organized by some folks in our co-op, was to the homeland creamery, in julian, nc. we weren’t sure we would see anyone we knew, but we were pleasantly surprised when hazel’s best friend, […]
“wild + free” field trip day.
when we first arrived back in winston, i was really worried about finding homeschool communities that matched with our lives. there’s a lot of co-ops and groups here, but they aren’t much of a fit. i did learn about a local chapter of the wild + free homeschoolers starting up, and i even went to […]
boring august.
you would think that since we are no longer traveling and i don’t have to squeeze blogging in amongst various amazing and epic adventures, that i would be able to keep up with it better. you would think. anyhoooo. it’s only 11 days into september (edited: 19 days) and i’m finally getting to the august […]
just july things…
i lied. as with june, there wasn’t a lot going on around here in july. i mean. we went on a hike. and my parents came. but mostly. it was more of the same. i suppose i should get used to it. to kick things off, ill cover the less exciting bits of the not […]
a kitten and baby themed trip to batavia.
we weren’t home in winston-salem for very long before we took off (in the car only) to batavia new york for a little visit. we had planned the trip when we still thought we would go back on the road and it was looking like the only chance to see my baby brother’s brand new […]
