So much to be thankful for…

Overheard from my oldest to my husband–we are indeed blessed!

Wishing you and yours peace, hope, and joy this season…..and perhaps a bit of sweet silence 🌟

Feeling the love? Spread the word :-)

Designed by a member of the group, I had these Leap Day Postcrossing postcards printed for our meeting this weekend! • So happy to start carving out time for my passions again 🖤 • How are you celebrating Leap Day? • • • • • • #leapday2020 #leapdaypostcard #pugetspundpostcrossinggroup #postcard #leapdaypostcards #february292020 #postcrossing #bikurgurl #lent2020 #addingnotsubtractingforlent #eclectic_unschoolers #learningthroughpostcards #travelingtheworldinpostcards

It’s Fat Tuesday! • In the Christian religion, it’s the last day before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. • I didn’t grow up observing this tradition, but have found as a mother, it’s one I’ve enjoyed sharing with my children. We enjoy a decadent dinner of pancakes - or this year, pizza - and revelry! • Does watching ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ count? ☠️🖤☠️ • Preparing for Lent, making room in our hearts and lives for something more, doesn’t need to be a time of less. • In fact, in our home, we make room for more. More love, more learning, more following our passions. In this, I feel my boys are able to experience the Grace of God. • Instead of going without, we squeeze more in. We focus our time on the good things that fill our sails. • Intention: my 2020 Word of the Year • Happy Fat Tuesday! • • • • • • #fattuesday #fattuesday2020 #bitmojituesday #eveofashwednesday #lent #lent2020 #bikurgurl #intentionmy2020wordoftheyear #familyfirst #traditionsofourfamily

Oh Homeschool corner... • You are a hot mess! I love your enthusiasm, bright colors, thrifted or repurposed storage containers, but even this amount of clutter makes me crazy. • I’m down to this, the two piles on my desk, and the better part of a linen closet. • Then there’s my bookstacks 📚 • I’ve been slowly releasing books back into the Wild - a mix of consignment {thank you @homeschoolpotpourristore !}, library donations, and @littlefreelibrary donations! • A lot of changes have been going on in my house the past year, not to mention my husbands continued recovery from his sledding accident last month. • I can’t wait to share it with you, but first: off to drop off donations, consignments, and see that pervasive Seattle Sun - who knew it’d be out again?!? • How are you renewing your home this spring? • • • • • • #springclean2020 #homeschoollife #homeschoolrefresh #homeeducation #eclectic_unschoolers #unschooling #homeschoolhygge #homeschoolminimalism

Thank you for all your well wishes, notes, food, child transportation, and kindness 🖤 • I’m so thankful to say that my husband’s wound healing is entering the final stage - he is healed enough today to have his wound vac removed and have mainly external dressing to cover his wound care. • Those wound vacs are amazing! • It’s more work for me to be in charge of changing dressings, and he’ll be recovering from his deeply bruised tailbone for likely the next year, but we’re on the home stretch. • My word for the year is: Intentional • Though I didn’t expect the first two months of 2020 to focus on healing my husband and juggle all the things, it’s been much easier to prioritize the necessary: healthy food, lots of rest, relationship-focused needs. • Grace and space • I miss writing, photography, blogging....the past year has been a tremendous year of change and transformation. As my growth continues, I am sorting it all out by being intentional on how to get to my goals. It’s a process I’m still working through, but one I’m finally able to start giving life to 🖤 • I can’t wait to see how this year unfolds, but am so grateful to have my husband with me for the journey. • And Seattle Sun in February - almost makes me glad we didn’t go to Hawaii. • *almost* • How are you setting your 2020 intention? • • • • • • #husbandshealingjourney #seattlewintersun #seattlesun #treehouseintheyard #2020wordoftheyear #2020wordoftheyearisintention #intentioniywordoftheyear #bikurgurl #bikurgurltravels #eclectic_unschoolers

One month from bringing him home from the hospital... • Because we would have been in Hawaii had it not been for my husbands accident, we’ve made peace with being home this Valentines Day.... • Thank goodness we’ve seen the sun a bit here in Seattle! • So I had to bring a little joy to my guys - particularly my youngest who is finally reading the Harry Potter series! SO thrilled to share all things Potter with him! • On the upside, my husbands recovery is going smoothly, albeit slowly. The deep wound is healing, as is the rest of his body, with lots of rest and healthy food. He’s able to walk a couple of blocks now - and I’m just thankful it wasn’t any worse than it is. • If the price of pushing our Hawaiian getaway is that we can spend it together, healed, then it’s all the better. • Hoping you had a wonderful Valentines Day with family and friends 🖤 • • • • • • #valentinesday2020 #harrypottervalentine #harrypotterchocolate #salazarslytherincard #harrypotterchocolatefrog #harrypotterchocolatewand #lindtexcellencestrawberryintense #healthyfood #chocolateishealthyair

Sky • This morning, the sky was incredible outside. Inside, I was {grumpily} getting ready for another doctors appointment. • I’ve been MIA because 2 weeks ago, my husband had a horrible sledding accident in which he was impaled by a tree branch. • It’s been a lot of wound care and pain management, plus a lot of help from friends and acquaintances {not to mention nurses, doctors, and co-workers}, but my husband is beginning to heal. He had a wound vac installed today which he’ll have for the next 4-6 weeks based on how quickly the deep puncture heals. • This means my 24/7 on-call nursing may subside a little and I’ll be able to get back to some sort of ‘normal’. • I’m grateful not only for my husbands expected recovery - it could have been fatal - but also for beautiful mornings like this 🖤 • • • • • • #bikurgurl #eclectic_unschoolers #sky #morningdelight #sunriseseattle #redskyatdawnsailorsbewarned #cloudporn #redcloudporn #cascademountainswashington #gratefulforthedawn

I keep meaning to do an ‘unboxing’ of my @lmichellestyle pieces - but I’m always so eager to wear them, I forget! • I just received my new cami - one of the last in the Ocean print! • SO looking forward to pairing my new ElleMichelle cami with my skirt and Capri pants for our Hawaiian Adventure next month! • Ellemichelle camis are part of my ‘uniform’ - my daily outfit - which allows me to have a capsule wardrobe! • My capsule wardrobe is not only for travel, but makes everyday easier to be put together, looking and feeling great! • Ellemichelle epitomizes my Word of the Year: Intention. It’s easier to focus on my goals when I am able to dress comfortably, and stylishly, without a second thought! • • • • • • #ellemichellestyle #ellemichelle #minimalistwardrobe #minimalistwardrobe2020 #capsulewardrobepiece #bikurgurl #bikurgurltravels #bikurgurl_travels #ellemichellecami #hawaiianvacation2020

It’s only magical because I know it’s temporary! • Counting down to our Hawaiian Holiday 🖤 • For now, I’ll just stay warm inside! • What travel are you counting down to? • • • • • • #seattlesnow #seattlesnowpocalypse2020 #snowfort #idontwanttobuildasnowman #wintermagic #bikurgurl #eclectic_unschoolers #travelingwith Holstein #bikurgurl_travels

Snowman building had to happen yesterday with the onslaught of our annual snow day! • Of course, where they decided to build it is hilarious! Little did we know that instead of shoveling the drive, the boys had another prank in mind 🤣 • Swipe left to see how it all turned out - boys are so much fun 🖤❄️☃️ • ‘Do want to build a snowman’ too? • • • • • • #snowman #doyouwanttobuildasnowman⛄️ #seattlesnowpocalypse2020 #seattlesnow #whenyoubuildasnowman #shovelingthedrive #drivewaysnowman #bikurgurl #eclectic_unschoolers

Snowpocalypse 2020 • Our backyard measures nearly 5” in most places, which means school is cancelled and I’m staying in! • Of course, for my boys, igloos and Arctic Nerf battles are being planned! • How are you starting your week? • • • • • • #snowpocalypse2020 #seattlesnowpocalypse2020 #illjuststayinside #ohtheweatheroutsideisfrightful #bikurgurl #thefortoutback
