The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

February 6, 2016

{around here} Week 5/52: Week of 2.1.16

A collection of our ordinary days, recorded every week.

Around here, I have been:


hearing rain outside.  We also had some warmer temperatures this week, so between the two, almost all of the snow is gone.  Crazy to think we were snowed in just a week ago!  


feeling overwhelmed with homeschooling with my toddler.  TJ is so hard at this age: climbing onto everything, having fits when he doesn’t get his way, destroying everything in his path… I really need to figure out how to create a school day that benefits everyone.


cheering for D as he finally lost a stubborn tooth that has been bothering him!  

seeing little pink blooms on my Christmas cactus.  But then…TJ ran down the planter with his car and it shattered into a million pieces.  I’ve temporarily replanted it in another pot and am hoping it doesn’t die.


reading A Man Called Ove.

watching M make scones all on his own.  He learned the recipe in his co-op cooking class.  I love how he is growing more confident in the kitchen and making delicious things to boot!
