Life in all its times. Archive for March 2013. Ren's Baby Name Blog and Other News. An interview I did about my kids' names was featured on one of my favorite blogs! Ren's Baby Name Blog.

We'll be posting every Tuesday and Thursday and we're covering a few different topics:. 1 A day in the life. 2 How do you organize your day? 3 Why or how did you get started?

September 2013 | Everything Beautiful

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Life in all its times. Archive for September 2013. A story for today. The words awoke something in him that had been dead so long, he had forgotten it ever lived. It was uncomfortable, this being reminded. He tried to distract himself with less disturbing thoughts; traffic is a mess today! Isn’t that a tasteless advertisement? It’s cold enough to start hunting for my winter gloves again. These were things that presented no real challenge, no contradiction of opinion, no disruption of routine. She was whi...

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2013/06/legos.html

Life in all its times. Posting this pic per the request of my babysitting charge. Playing with Legos, some Batman minifigs mixed in with the town pieces. Overheard: "*gasp* my worst enemy. Brian! Posted by Audrey M.G. Simmons. So much for that last post. All that writing about discipline and I havent posted since February. :) But now Im even more determined to write semi-regularl. Why My Kids Don't Know They're Smart. How many times have I heard that being a mom is a thankless job? The Gospel for Kids.

Chore Charts! | Everything Beautiful

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2014/02/chore-charts.html

Life in all its times. It's been a while. Recently, we've started chore charts in the Simmons household and I wanted to post about it. We were sort of in a post-holiday slump and the boys were doing hardly anything except drifting from one play-activity to another, with an admittedly daily dose of Netflix thrown in. I listened to a recent Raising Playful Tots. So, in practice, how does this work with three-year-olds? I wanted a chart that they could "read" for themselves, even though I'd be helping them ...

On Marrying Somebody | Everything Beautiful

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2012/08/on-marrying-somebody.html

Life in all its times. We ended up talking about that idea specifically relating to how guys behave in dating relationships, but I've been thinking about it more and more today and it really works both ways. So, I wanted to type some of what we talked about up for my siblings. I have six siblings, all younger, and only one is married. Four of the others are old enough (by my parents' standards) to date. This is for you guys- and our youngest brother, for when he gets to this point. Dear Guire Kids,.

WV Urban Hippies: Will they ever stop eating?!

http://wvurbanhippie.blogspot.com/2015/06/will-they-ever-stop-eating.html

Things I Think About. Will they ever stop eating? Let me introduce you to my bottomless pits:. I think they had a planning meeting a couple of months ago to see what would be the quickest way to eat me out of house and home. And from the results, it was a very successful meeting. Every time I turn around we're out of bread, milk and eggs. And apparently lunch meat has a 2.2 second shelf life in this house. I honestly wonder if they're eating it as they put away groceries. So, what to do? Giant bag of ke...

April 2013 | Everything Beautiful

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Life in all its times. Archive for April 2013. Picking up the Playroom. I was in the kitchen this morning and heard a noise that sounded like Duplos being dumped out- and I knew there were already little Legos all over the rug. Fortunately for today, the noise was just another toy being moved and we didn't have a huge mess to pick up (or a "big and big and big" mess, as the boys say to mean gigantic). And it's the big things that go first. For me, that was self-injury and porn. Big stuff. The...There's a...

June 2015 | Everything Beautiful

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Life in all its times. Archive for June 2015. Late night thoughts on larping. So, this conversation happened earlier and I laughed until I cried. Me: LARP seems like a geek thing but I have a theory that it's really education. Because homeschoolers graduate and are like, man, what am I going to do with these military strategy and leather working skills mom let me work on for extra credit. Hunter: hahahhaha when the zombie apocalypse comes. Cause lets be realistic here. Newer Posts →. 8592; Older Posts.

So much for that last post... | Everything Beautiful

http://audreysimmons.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-much-for-that-last-post.html

Life in all its times. So much for that last post. All that writing about discipline and I haven't posted since February. :) But now I'm even more determined to write semi-regularly, at least. Maybe if I write frequently enough I can weed out my bad habit of punctuating nearly everything with emoticons. What's my life look like nine months later? I love them to pieces. We named them Théoden and Samuel, but they go by Theo and Sam (or bug or bear or fussbucket or any other host of fond nicknames). My mom ...
