Baby Days ...
We're nearing Little Bear's 1st birthday!
Time to move the crib into the nursery ...
The little fella is in need of a hair trim ... the hair over his ears is bugging him, though I am loathe to cut any of it!
Learning Themes:
Bees - identifying (from a safe distance!) what kinds of bees visit our yard.
Memorial Day: what it means, family traditions
Excited About ~ Working On:
Designing invitations for Little Bear's birthday party.
Planting our own organic rhubarb!
I bought this rhubarb for $10 at our village plant sale this past weekend. I am so excited to finally grow our own rhubarb!
Working on my planner-binder. It's a mess, plain and simple, so I'm rethinking the whole thing. Again.
Miscellaneous:
Catch up on emails.
Look into Wordpress as an alternative to Typepad.
Organize summer education plans.
Locate missing book boxes.

Well, Good Wednesday morning, my friends!
I thought it might be nice to revisit my weekly domestic journal ... it's been quite a while since I updated it! This was meant to go up on Monday but then Typepad had its troubles, so here it is today. I will aim to update this journal every Monday ...
Hope you all have a great day ... thanks so much for stopping by!
