I must be crazy
Three kids in a thrid floor, two bedroom condo with no backyard. Life in our little nest above the trees is quickly going from cozy to cramped. As we have nt put our place on the market yet I feel like my life is being lived in a limbo of sorts. Our place is not [...]

Giardia meds
So as I have mentioned before Esu came home with giardia which is very common all around the world. He is currently on antibiotics for this and is showing improvement. The medication that Esu is on for his giardia is called, Metronidazole, and it is nasty. The taste is horrid even though it has been [...]

“The sick season” is what I affectionately call fall and winter, it did not used to be that way but since having had kids that pretty much is the way it is. Last year I don’t think we went more than 2 weeks without someone getting sick, last year was a nightmare that at times [...]

DIY homeschool materials

Miss Crabby Pants…
And I am not talking about Anwen. I have been crabby for what seems like days now, and it is getting on my nerves. I have been dealing with sinus issues, a sore neck which has given me a tension headache and now on top of that a head cold. I feel like crap and [...]

Unprepared and it’s ok
Each day that goes by we are a day closer to leaving and my tummy is starting to flip flop over it. I am excited beyond words to get my arms around Esu, but I am also not prepared to leave Ewan and Anwen. I cannot wait to see Ethiopia, yet feel unprepared for what [...]
