Christmas Eve Eve 2017

Christmas Eve Eve in images! I’ve been so intentionally busy, I didn’t realize how much I needed a downtime day. I posted these images on Instagram of my day.

So as I had my nails done, reflected on the past year, my husband held down the fort at home helping boys finish school projects before Christmas so I could just relax.

Thanks babe ❤

I’ve been dark most of June 2019 and will keep my @bikurgurl and @eclectic_unschoolers accounts status private and dark for the rest of the month. • Tech free from IG. • If you know me IRL, this is not done lightly. • Please respect this boundary - I will rejoin you refreshed in July 2019 🖤 • • • • #bikurgurlblog #bikurgurl #bikurgurlinstagrambreak #bikurgurltechbreak #takingatechbreak #idonttaketechbreakslightly #goingdarkjune2019

Beachside in Maui, my handsome husband and I enjoyed some Awesome Adulting with a funny Christmas gift I picked up for him at Third Place Books 📚🖤 • Vintage off the resale, ‘Limericks: Too Gross or Two Dozen Dirty Stanzas’ by Isaac Asimov and John Ciardi is a playing hurling of insults between the two writers that had us in stitches on vacation. • Because here’s the thing: vacations for fun, relaxation, reading....and for us, traveling with children, modeling fun adult behavior, and building into our lives what being a fun adult can look like. Being the bibliophiles we are, hanging out, playing games, telling joes, reading dirty limericks, ordering the fruit plate, and catching some afternoon shade is pretty amazing 🖤 • We miss you Hawaii, especially on this rainy Seattle Saturday - but we’re already planning to see you again soon in Kauai 🖤 • Traveling with children is so much fun - and with our tween and teen, we have a lot of freedom to model how fun relationships work - what we do to have fun off the grid. • Today, off-grid work is listening to The Hobbit {again} and setting up the wood shop. They’re already hard at work 🗜🔨 • • • • #travelingwithchildren #eclecticunschoolers #bikurgurltravelsto #bikurgurltravelstomaui #eclectic_unschooling #unschoolers #awesomeadulting #awesome_adulting #limerickstoogrossortwodozendirtystanzas #limerickstoogross #bikurgurltravel #bikurgurltravels #bikurgurl #bikurgurltravelstohyattregency #bikurgurltravelstobeachside #bikurgurllovesxspider34x #eclecticunschooly #modelingawesomeadulting #howweawesomeadult #thisisoyrawesomeadulting

Yesterday was a day of doing the hard work of growth in relationships. Of being the grown up to the ‘grown ups’, of standing up to the decades of posturing and unintentional painful words to stop the cycle from continuing. It’s the hard work of adults to protect the children in our lives from facing the same emotional suckerpunches we endured. It’s about educating with care and love because we don’t get out of this without someone getting hurt: Without everyone being a little broken from the words on every side. If we don’t have the courage to take a stand and protect those who cannot protect themselves, we allow them to fall victim to the same emotional carnage we ourselves suffered...only this time, it’s our fault. We are to blame in some small part for standing idly by and doing nothing. So we do the hard work, we say the hard words in the kindest, most loving way possible, to help build a bridge between those inflicting the hurt and those hurting. And maybe in the process, even finding some healing of our own..... 🖤

I love trying new places and @valleyhousebrewing never disappoints! • Their pickled vegetables were on-point last night: Yum!! { & the succotash - both served in Mason jars - just like I do at my house🖤} • I’m off alcohol with my new meds, but the dark house beer on tap is fab 🍺 • 🖤 • Oh! But of course, I have duplicitous notions for posting ... it’s not just for the great service, beers, and grub... it’s also for my writing friend @reinventions.reena - a quick sneak peek at our 100 Word Wednesday Image Prompt 🖤 • This one I took just last night on the way in to our Brave Learner Seattle Book Club meeting in the Valley 📚🖤 • • • • • #100wordwednesday #100wordwednesdays #only100words #bikurgurl #bikurgurlblog #writerswanted #100ww_w122 #writingprompt #imagewritingprompt #imagewritingprompts #bikurgurltravels #bikurgurltravelsto #bikurgurltravelstoduvall #bikurgurltravelstoduvallwa #bikurgurltravelstoduvallwashington #bikurgurltravelstoduvall_washington

I am in awe of all the amazing artists on Instagram, but one of my current favorites is @indominusjezz who recently topped not just 10K, but 12K, followers! • Way to go! • I love how his work is mostly on notebook paper - the visuality of the art literally jumping from the page is amazing. • My Artist son and I so enjoy his work 🖤 • • • • #artistspromotingartists #indojezz10k #artistswelove #youbetjurassicsgood #visualityofart #artjumpingfromthepage #notebookingyourart #eclecticunschool #eclectic_unschool #eclectic_unschoolers

Bees Buzzing 🐝 • Dizzing Delirium • Let me tell you: there’s nothing I love more than seeing so many different bee species buzzing my rhododendrons 🖤 • It’s a feeding frenzy - with birds and Pacific Tree Frogs chirping in the background, you wouldn’t know we’re nestled in a suburban Seattle cul-de-sac! • We organically Garden our small slice of suburbia and I continually tinker with making it a place for not our our wildlife habitat, but the humans who co-habitate this small plot of land. • We do what we can for them 🖤 • • • • #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendlygarden #pollinatorfriendlyorganicgarden #bikurgurl #bikurgurlbeevideo #beevideo

My raised beds are super easy to maintain. So easy, in fact, I actually have to remember to come check on them! • I usually set up a sprinkler on a timer, but to be honest, we’re not used to the sunny stream we’ve had this May, so I’ve just come out and watered for about 10 minutes, jotted down some notes, and enjoyed the quiet of my garden on these sunny evenings. • The bees are buzzing, the squirrels are pestering me, the rabbits and slugs can’t get in. It’s as sweet of a deal as I’m going to get. • What I love about gardening is its art that is always in progress. There’s always something to do, but life won’t end if it doesn’t get done. My projects for this season are aplenty, as always, but for tonight, I’ll just enjoy the view 🖤 • • • • #mygarden2019 #bikurgurlgarden #bikurgurlgardens #bikurgurlgardenvideo #bikurgurlgardenvideo2019 #bikurgurlgarden2019 #bikurgurl #organicraisedbedvideo #organicraisedbedgardening #inmygarden_may2019

My sweet husband spoils me. • He has become quite the coffee connoisseur and makes me fresh French Press coffee. • Every. Morning. • It’s amazing. • He’s started also leaving me little love notes, nothing fancy, but in his already hurried, busy mornings when he’s already getting up early to take calls or get to the office, his sweet devotion to me and our love still makes my heart flutter 🖤 • It wasn’t always like this, but after 17 years together, I think we’re finally hitting our stride 🖤 • Wishing you a wonderful weekend of joy, love, and happiness! • And if you can’t find that - gurl, get a good cup of coffee or tea! You deserve it 🖤 • • • • Coffee cup by Mercury Coffee, Beans are actually Dark Espresso Roasted locally by River Trail Roaster ☕️🖤 • #rivertrailroaster #rivertrailroastercoffee #rivertrailroasterscoffee #localseattleroastersilove #shoplocalyearround #seattlelocal_yearround #seattle_itswherecoffeeisroasted #bikurgurl #17yearsandwerefinallyhittingourstride
