This is what it looks like when I am having a prod This is what it looks like when I am having a productive morning. We live in a 1955 house that we have yet to be able to afford to get fixed up (#alwaysbroke and #wearenotdiypeople ) also a #housefullofneurodiversity and other #mentalhealthissues so it’s always messy so this is my solution to our always disgusting kitchen. A sink filled with hot soapy water and a splash of bleach. Throw in anything gross in need of bleaching white. Let sit for a couple hours, as able. It should be lovely white again (mostly) at that point…for a little while at least. I have a day off today and am planning #bigthings !! This is just a start. My dopamine tends to be highest in the mornings after a (somewhat) restful night and I am on fire to get stuff done! Also took my #adhdmeds today (I don’t take them every day) and those should be kicking in soon so I need to get on the project I want to #hyperfocus on today before they do. That will be my website and the website for one of my jobs…both of which I am completely revamping. Taking FAR too long, as I keep running into issues. Well… @the_flylady says to start with a #shiny-sink so I am #offtoagoodstart ! #babysteps #dayoffprojects #babystepsflylady #cleaningday #letsgetstuffdone #adhdhyperfocus

Birthday month! First my hubby, then my daughter, Birthday month! First my hubby, then my daughter, and then me! Here’s my hubby with his #handmadegift from our daughter @maevedragoncreations Since she was little, she has given #handmadegifts and now she sells them at craft fairs and makes her own patterns! You can also see one of her gifts to me from years ago hanging from the ceiling in the room behind my hubby in this pic. That room is full of her creations! #handmadewithlove #craftygifts #nowheisolderthanme (for 9 days)
This pic just showed up in my FB memories, from 20 This pic just showed up in my FB memories, from 2013, with the text: “(My daughter) just texted me this pic from her bedroom, with the message: "Henna got in the way of my math, so I used her as a desk." Henna was our sweet kitty that we got as a tiny kitten with her sister in 1999, just after we were married & before we had kids. She lived to be 21yr a old! She is missed. ❤️ #catsofinstagram #homeschoolingwithcats #homeschoolingwithpets #mathwithcats #mathwithpets #homeschoollife #math #kitty #homeschooling #backintime

Just discovered these books last night at work. #b Just discovered these books last night at work. #booksellerlife They are historical fictions I think? Cute short books on various historical people/incidents. I am now going to have to dive in and see what else I can find in the series. I couldn’t find a series name yet. But the are published by the Smithsonian. If you know more about these, I’d love to know more!! I have dozens more #bookfinds like this that I need to find the time to share here! Every time I work (in the kids dept at my local Barnes & Noble) I find more amazing books!! #homeschoolbooks #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #kidshistoricalfiction #ilovekidsbooks #lookwhatifound

This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday. First time I had heard of it. Really beautiful young child version of #malalayousafzai ‘s story. The attack is not detailed, so even a young child could learn from her story without having to be introduced to the horrific details before they are ready. Imaginative and inspirational story by @malala with gorgeous illustrations by @kerascoet_ #inspiringchildrensbooks #bookstagram #learningwithpicturebooks #inspirationalbooks #inspirationalbooksforkids #picturebooks #picturebooksofinstagram
I ran out of space on my phone (a VERY old phone) I ran out of space on my phone (a VERY old phone) from all the awesome #bookfinds I have discovered at work! (I work at a book store, in the kids’ dept)…so I spent the last couple weeks not recording any of the books I have found! 😢. Time to start posting these!! This will take a while! #somanybookssolittletime Today’s #adorablebook is sure to get your #childrenlaughing at the utter #silliness ! Super #cuteillustrations and #funstory by @andytomlee and @heath.mckenzie
I just discovered this book at work yesterday… # I just discovered this book at work yesterday… #bookscavenger by @jabertie & was immediately intrigued by the game! Sounds a lot like #letterboxing & #geogaching! So I checked out the #audiobook from my #library (LOVE the #libbyapp!) and am really enjoying the story! Which got me wondering if a game like this actually existed IRL. Apparently it does! Though it appears to be on hiatus? Anyone know what’s going on if/when it will return? It does look like there are some books to be found still near my area…but I am still investigating. For more info, check out https://bookscavenger.com

My current view. Resting on the couch with a #migr My current view. Resting on the couch with a #migraine, listening to the audiobook of #thehouseintheceruleansea on one of the first cool days this season. Windows open! With my buddy Alfie (Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All) keeping watch. Yes we are a #whovian family. It’s a lovely day, despite the head pain. #cooldays are finally here!!
