Two years

It really has been two years since I last updated this blog. Well, technically, two and a half. Excellent job, momma.

Once I figure out how to update this thing all over again, I'm going to attempt to make this into a once a month thing. AT LEAST. Yeah, right. Goodness. Consistency is not my best quality.

Whats new?
Well, lets see. Moved across country. 800 miles.While pregnant. Oh, yeah, also, had another kid! We call him Bear. Ha! I'm now a mom to 3 boys.Totally squeezed this last little dude out in the bathtub. HOMEBIRTH ftw. I'll never go back to the hospital for a birth. Downsized from a house to a tiny apartment, after a hop skip jump into my in-laws house for 10 months. LOVE that family, so thankful they were there for us when we needed to make the move, but at the end of 9 months, everyone was. so. done.

We are starting legit homeschooling this year. I really wanted to unschool, and we still are, KIND of, but at the same time, I'm using curriculum from EasyPeasy this year so I sort of feel like Bug is really learning something. That's what I tell myself. Honestly, I just have no idea how to homeschool other than to do a curriculum, and its really hard to unschool when your husband comes home every day, asking the kid "what'd you learn today?" At least this way, he's got a progress report.

We now live a block from the beach, The ocean happens quite often. This is what I've been looking forward to for the last 5 years. Sand, sun, tan lines. The kids adjusted well. I think having grandparents close by really helped with the transition. Little had some regression in potty training while we were living at the in-laws. Totally normal. Totally aggravating. Little also had to have oral surgery at age 3, which was the most devastating thing I've ever had to experience in his life.

Lets see... Bank of America screwed us royally. Thanks, guys! The house we left behind is still sitting empty, and we could still be enjoying life in the big Indiana, but we would be missing out on our little piece of this dream, so its a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of event.

I find it amusing that I haven't updated in a couple years, yet consistently get a couple hits every few months. I am trying to keep off facebook more and more these days, so I keep coming back to here. I finally figured out how to merge two of my blogs, so now there's just this one and the paleo blog. That's pretty much it! Stay tuned, I'll try to update this thing more often. At least more often than every two years. Yep.
