First Day ~ January

By

I will be linking up on the first of each month this year with Nicole at Journey to Josie.


This is a fun way to show our ordinary lives on the first day of each month. It consists of taking photos of all of the normal activities of our day and then writing a post about them. If you would like to join along, link up with Nicole.

Here are photos to chronicle January 1, 2013, for the Taulman family.

This was actually from yesterday. But Eli and our neighbor built this by themselves.

Yummy icicles!

Speaks for itself, no?

More icicles before the snowball fight.

And it's ON!

My sweet niece Ashtyn at the salon while my sister did my hair.

Leftover Chinese food for lunch.

What our back entry looks like when there is snow outside.

Some necessities ... sweet tea and chocolate chip cookies.

My new hair color and cut (actually it looks pretty much the same, just better!) Man I hate the way I look in mirror shots. And, no makeup. Can you say "pale"?

Dawson cozied up watching The Amazing Spiderman with Brynne and I.

Gathering of the Barbies for bath pool time.

Yeah.

Lots of this being taken! Coughs abound!!

My baby Quincy.

The after party in the sink.

My after party once the kids were in bed.

    Laughing at the Barbie fun which makes me sadly nostalgic that my girls have outgrown that. Happy New Year!

    Thanks for giving us a peek into your day. We so wish for snow down our way. Driving to Asheville on Saturday for the day so maybe we will see some in the mountains.
    Blessings

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

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 ...
