school ended in early june and for ike and hazel, there was little fanfare. but. anna was graduating from 8th grade, middle school, and apparently we make a big deal about these sorts of things. the ceremony was held at wait chapel on wake forest’s campus, if that tells you anything. it was an ordeal.

teacher totes magotes.
when i first laid eyes on the fpp coneflower blocks on instagram (and then later in love patchwork and quilting magazine), i knew it was the perfet starting point for gifts for hazel’s two wonderful fourth grade teachers. i did some research on their “favorites” lists from the beginning of the year and dove right […]
end of fourth grade things.
as we rolled into may, the end of year school activities began to fill the calendar. it’s mayhem. especially for the crazelnut. firstly, her class had a field trip to hanging rock. obviously i went too. 🙂 the kids went to three different stations, where rangers talked to them about the rock cycle, water cycle, […]
bits and pieces of april.
first of all. let me tell you a tale of how, when jenn and brandy were visiting, we may or may not have gotten caught up with the idea of getting baby chicks and stopped in at tractor supply and made a complete and total impulse purchase of four baby chicks to add to our […]

things that took place in october.
it’s fall! the favorite season around these parts. we are all settled into the routine of school. football season is in full swing. it’s cooling off (but it’s still north carolina, so sort of stupidly warm). and we are ready for the gauntlet of holidays. so, here’s how we spent our october…. first things first.

the rest of august.
with a large chunk of august spent in iceland, and with the time before that spent feverishly preparing for iceland, and the time after it spent feverishly recovering from iceland while simultaneously getting the kiddos ready for school the following week, this recap for “the rest of august” is going to be short and sweet […]
