The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

September 18, 2015

{around here} Week 37/52: Week of 9.14.15



A collection of our ordinary days, recorded every week.  At the end of the year, I’ll publish them into a keepsake to treasure.

Around here, I have been:


feeling like an old lady.  I was the only one to get sick after watching the boys’ soccer games in a downpour last weekend!  I’ve been keeping afloat and trying to keep up, but whew.  I’m ready to feel better and get back to exercising. 


reading the first chapters of The Winter of our Disconnect and there’s so much to think about already.  We start discussion in our Facebook group on Monday.


cheering on Mark as he launches his new company, Catholic Combat.  He is so passionate about our faith and desires to create apparel that displays Catholicism in a new way.  I am so proud of him and his big dreams.    


learning about bats during our first week of unit studies.  We’ve read books, researched different species and watched many videos.  Did you know that the largest species of bat is called the flying fox and has a wing span of over six feet?  I’ve learned so much this week.

selling my first few items on Kidizen!  So exciting to get that notification on my phone!


loving my sweet, sweet Sophia.  She never, ever stops talking and so one evening while making dinner, I said in frustration, “Sophie!  Can you please stop talking for five minutes?!”  She replied without missing a beat: “Why, mama?  You my best friend!”


in denial that my baby boy is turning a year old!  The past twelve months have been an absolute whirlwind, but so so good.  We are so blessed to have him in our family.
