Tuesday Coffee Chat

By



This week's Tuesday Coffee Chat prompt is ...

The last photo you took with a cell phone or a camera. Write a story about the picture in 10 sentences or less.


And she's SAFE!

In our softball league this year, rules were changed to allow the girls to steal home .... but they have to slide if the ball is in play at the plate. At the first sliding practice the other night, Brynne had, ummmm, problems sliding. She developed a fear of it and was dreading last night's game because she knew she would have to slide.

I told her that it didn't have to be pretty, she just had to hit the dirt. And hit the dirt she did ... on both her knees ... and she crawled quickly to the plate and touched it to be safe.

I love this picture. She immediately turned around and looked at me in the dugout. I don't know if you can tell by her batting glove on the right hand and her shrugged shoulder, but she is basically saying "Well, at least I did it!"

Love it, and her!

    she looks so proud of herself! and she should be.... way to go. you just have to commit... and get a little dirty, right?!
    This brings back great memories. I was never afraid of sliding into home.... I played 3rd base and that was scary enough sometimes!

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
