The Well-Intentioned Life

August 24, 2013 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Homeschooling, Honest Blogging, Keeping It Real, Minnesota Me 5 Comments

My life as it looks in my daily planner:

My Bookend Boys

My life as it actually looks:

Still Life with Crazy Girl

In short, why bother planning?☺

    Your boys are dolls and (you-know-who, I don't remember her"blog" name)C has the best personality. I have another friend with a daughter similar is quirkiness and she learned that the more she let her free (within limits) the easier it was to take her when she needs to. Does that work with C?

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
