As I began writing this, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion and letting it all bleed on the pages…and though it may be good fodder….

So my Flex has another flat tire and that was it. I’m in the shop at least monthly, and now I’ll need all new tires. No thank you. _ So we’re trading it in on a Subaru! It’s been a whirlwind day, but exciting to close the chapter on all the mechanical and electric issues we’ve had with the Flex. _ I loved that car, but it’s time to downsize and be free of the monthly aggravation of taking a day or two out of my month at the car shop. _ Freedom: it’s my word of the year! _ Freeing ourselves of the aggravation, huge vehicle, and worry? Awesome. •••••• #subaruforester #2018subaruforester #freedomismywordoftheyear #bikurgurl #bikurgurlblog #newyearnewcar #eastsidesubaru #thewaitwillbeworthit

I asked these guys to come help in the garden, yet they refused! Preferring the warmth of their fluffy bed 🤣 •••••• #darkpaw #darthkemosabevader #darkpawandkemo #rescuedogs #blackrescuedogs #bikurgurl #pnwgardener

My front garden is beginning it’s summer bloom! _ I received many of these in trades at our local Green Elephant, but the Black-Eyed Susan’s were naturalized from the previous homeowner! I’ve divided and spread them around the yard over the past couple of years which has not only helped the plants, but helped fill out all the reclaimed garden space from the horrid homogenous grass! _ Repatriating the garden for wildlife? Oh yes!! _ I’ll be moving our little pumpkin plants to the front yard today as well - the lovely mint patch will keep the rabbits out. _ The front garden is west facing and gets a brutal 8+ hours of hot sun every day July-September, so I plant as much as my husband will allow in the space!! •••••• #gardeningfoodnotgrass #organicgarden #blackeyedsusans #purpleheadedconeflowers #mintgarden #repatriatingtheflowers #bikurgurl #bikurgurlblog #greenelephantgarden #inbloom #inmygarden #organicflowers #urbanorganicgarden #pnwgarden #pnwgardener #intentionalgardening

I haven’t had much time to tend my garden this spring. Between traveling and my horrible allergies, my garden has been left to {basically} fend for itself. _ The good news is I started the garden with a good foundation. I built up the soil with compost, installing Green Elephant plants, ruthlessly weeding and cultivating the soil, not to mention put it to bed this fall. _ Though I have bone meal to spread, the garden has flourished mostly on its own because it was nourished and tenaciously cared for in its infancy. _ I’m hesitant to compare my children to a garden, but getting a good start in life makes all the difference. Plants, like children, can still survive a rough start in life, but sometimes get hardened to the world, finding it difficult to go into full bloom. It’s possible, but so much easier if the plants, and children, are properly nourished in mind, body, and soul when they are getting their start in the world. _ The good news in my garden is, although I have quite a bit of pruning and dividing to do, its flourishing in this season of my negligence. _ How does your garden grow? •••••• #inbloom #inmygarden #pnw #greenelephantgarden #greenelephantgardening #flowerinbloom #bikurgurl #bikurgurlblog #gardening_love #washingtonstategardener #nativegardening #organicgardener #itsallaboutthegarden #optoutside #wildandfreemama #wildandfreegarden

The Royal...I picked this up at a local antique shop because when my boys were learning to type, I wanted them to feel the thrill of the machine working. _ Many years later, they learned easily online and this guy has been collecting dust, so it’s time to pass him on. _ I’m not much into antiques, but I do love a classic. Whomever receives this guy is going to love him!! •••••• #donatingtypewriter #creatingspaceforlife #bikurgurl #eclectic_unschoolers #mechanicaltypewriter #typewriterlove #itsallaboutthetext #bravewriterlifestyle #bravewriterfamily #intentionalhomeschooling #minimalisthome

I’m participating in the Mega Motherhood June Instagram challenge over on my @eclectic_unschoolers account — come check it out and follow! So many great homeschool accounts I’ve not been following and I’m focusing them all here! _ I’m trying to find a little separation between our homeschool, our travel, and my writing community! _ So I’m already behind on the challenge, but here’s what I’m reading {& click over to @eclectic_unschoolers for more reading and unschool dialogue — I’ll also be posting on my blog!} _ I’m finishing my second reading of ‘The Great Spring’ by Natalie Goldberg - I’m going to an author luncheon next week{yay!}; I’m finally also reading ‘Rethinkkng School’ by Susan Wise Bauer — I’ve not met a book of hers I don’t like and can’t glean some better perspectives from her vast experience and education {not to mention, I’ve read all her books and we use her high school history books as our backbone to studies}; ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ by James Herriot is our current Read Aloud {also from the MENSA Reading List, which we also follow} 2.

I’ve been making summer plans and love starting big then filling in with destinations close to home 💦 _ This was also a 100 Word Wednesday Prompt image from a day trip to Lake Sammamish last summer - which made me want to catch up on our 100 Word Wednesday Weekly Wind-Ups _ What 100 words would you choose? •••••• #washingtonstatebeach #lakesammamish #lakesammamishstatepark #bikurgurl #bikurgurlblog #washingtonstatepark #summer2017 #beachgoals2018 #returntothebeach #icomefromthewater #100wordwednesday #writingprompts #writingchallenge #travelingwithchildren

Hello Seattle! _ We’ve returned from traveling to the Midwest - Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. _ This was travel to see family and experience the first of our children graduate from high school. _ We didn’t get time with friends or seeing many sites, but we were able to reacquaint ourselves with our extended families. _ There is never enough time, but we’re thankful for the time we had together 💖 •••••• #helloseattle #travelingwithchildren #milesandmilesbeforeisleep #bikurgurl #seattletacomainternationalairport #seatacinternationalairport #flyingwithchildren #travelingfamily #weregettinggoodatthis #freeflights #usedallourskymiles #showyourchildrentheworld

Summer travel isn’t always about fun in the sun. _ Sometimes, it’s much, much more. _ Being part of a family means being there when you can. _ Sometimes you travel just to be part of something bigger than yourself. •••••• #somanypeople #mortarboards #riteofpassage #beginningadulthood #parentslettinggo #beginninganewchapterinlife #bikurgurl #bikurgurlblog #graduationseason #graduatingclassof2018 #100wordwednesday #only100words #100WW
