Week-end: links & life {vol. 13}

13 February, 2015; Filed Under: week-end

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”
– Arthur Conan Doyle

beach view from my bicycle

Oh my goodness, y’all, I am wishing for a sunny day on my blue bicycle, breathing the salt air, and near enough to hear the ocean. This photo is a throwback from our last beach trip, but we’ve already planned our next visit!

from around the web

  • 20 Questions I have for people who were in their 20’s before cell phones and internet :: I laughed. Seriously, life is soooo different now.
  • Sweets for your Sweet :: It’s not to late to whip up something yummy, chocolately, (and not terribly bad for you) in time for Valentine’s.
  • 2015 Free Days at Atlanta Museums and Attractions :: For my local friends, or anyone planning to visit soon, many of Atlanta’s best attractions offer FREE admission on certain days.
  • 4 Tips for Raising Confident Girls :: “Finding out I was having a baby girl changed my whole life. At first I was terrified. I knew the sort of issues she might face, the kinds of self-limiting labels so thoughtlessly handed over…”

  • PiYo Workout: Review & Results

right here at home

Homeschool-wise, nothing vastly exciting to report, which is entirely okay with me. We’ve enlisted a math-minded friend to help explain concepts that have had me and Kathryn both wanting to bang our heads on something; our workbox is still working well for Scout (who got a cute new ‘do this week!); and the boy is convinced that his upcoming 6th birthday means he will immediately become a 1st grader.

Piper

Piper starts obedience classes next week. This is a really good thing because a high-energy dog is challenging, and a smart one even more so. Example: she unzipped her bed before shredding the contents. And that was when I’d only left the house for 20 minutes!

Pipers going to school!!! I know you all are excited.

Sweets for your sweet made me want to lick the screen. Our Valentine’s Day will not consist of any chocolates or goodies as there is a stomach flu having its way with the head of the house!

Have a good weekend!

Those things do look yummy, don’t they? I hope the stomach bug leaves your house soon!

I’m amazed by your patience with a wild and crazy dog. This introvert would go crazy. I am content with my quiet kitty. You must be a saint!

Earlier this week I may have threatened to give her to anyone who’d take her. 😉 I wouldn’t really, but let’s just say it’s a good thing she’s so cute and can be so sweet – when she’s not chewing up things she’s not suppose to!
