Fitting in our seasonal traditions around a school schedule is going to be a challenge, but a challenge I’m willing to accept because I’m hoping these three will take me apple picking in my old age. 🍎

September has been a wild ride! We’re adjusting to a new schedule, getting a kid on the train before 8 am 😧, starting new homeschool classes, packing lunches, juggling two kids in soccer and sometimes needing to be in two places at the same time. Must be fall. 🍂 I find myself sharing in Stories more - especially homeschool stuff - so come find me there. Also, after sharing that my oldest was starting high school this fall some astute observers reached out saying “wait, wasn’t she in 7th grade last year?” Yes. It’s complicated. 🙃 So I wrote a blog post about her journey from homeschool to high school. Link in bio!

Squeezing every last drop out of summer. Feeling ready to surrender to the rhythms and routines of fall.

I gave myself the gift of not going back to homeschool and back to school all at once, so my littles have another week of summer, but my big kid is off to high school today! 😧😢🤩 Not really sure what to expect from this year, but I know I’ve got great kids and I’ve done my very best to set each of them up to thrive. So here we go 9th grade at school, a 4th/5th grade split at home and 1st grade at home! And I guess Teddy is as close as I’m going to get to having a perpetual kindergartener. 🐶 😂

I’m not sure how wise it was to plan for our last summer trip to run right up the the day before our oldest heads to high school, but the time we spent paddling around this bay restored me in a way few other things do and gave me strength for the big transition that lies ahead. #homeschooltohighschool

A really excellent vacation book stack. 📚 Normally I don’t have four books going at once, but these are all so different from each other and all so good.

Late summer nights on the Puget Sound … a campfire, s’mores, a lost tooth, an owl flying overhead … the good stuff.

Just over here pretending summer’s never going to end. ☀️
