Warwick Castle and Ironbridge – Carper Diem
https://carperdiemcarryon.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/warwick-castle-and-ironbridge
4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time. Warwick Castle and Ironbridge. August 1, 2015. January 24, 2016. We have been incredibly impressed with what the kids are absorbing so far. For the most part, they want to read information on the places we’re going, ask to listen to Rick Steves podcasts (they have been indoctrinated), and move to the front of guided tours to make sure they can hear what is being said. If only journal writing time always looked like this. Hubs stayed up in one tower to get...

Connections – Carper Diem
https://carperdiemcarryon.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/connections
4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time. August 13, 2015. August 13, 2015. Many people have asked how much we think the kids will remember from the trip. Of course, we want to say that we picked the perfect ages, and they’ll remember everything. Then I realize I can’t even recall where we stayed in Avignon without help…and that was 4 days ago. What I am enjoying most, however, is the connections they are making — connections with people and connections between experiences. On his own, the kid to...

Stratford-Upon-Avon – Carper Diem
https://carperdiemcarryon.wordpress.com/2015/07/29/stratford-upon-avon
4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time. July 29, 2015. July 29, 2015. This afternoon, JJ was writing in his journal. All of a sudden, I heard, “And curst be he who moves my bones.”. Funny what kids remember. We got into town (after visiting Stonehenge) too late to see anything, but thrilled that our B&B was an easy walk into town. And beyond thrilled that our family room was actually two separate rooms, and the kids’ room had twin beds. We saw sleep in our future! But, as luck would have it, I ...

Carper Diem – Page 2 – 4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time
https://carperdiemcarryon.wordpress.com/page/2
4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time. From Trump to North Korea and Everything In Between. October 15, 2015. In our everyday life, we are a family that dines together the majority of the time. It definitely gets tricky with the kids’ sports schedules, but if we aren’t all sitting down together, it’s sports, not work, that is getting in the way. It’s a priority we have set for our family, and we do our best to make family meals happen. 8221; He replies, and suddenly Missa B jumps in. What star...

Ch…Ch…Changes – Carper Diem
https://carperdiemcarryon.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/ch-ch-changes
4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time. August 7, 2015. August 7, 2015. I have been fascinated watching Missa B over the past 7 weeks. Right before my eyes, she is evolving into a more outgoing, more confident young woman. Yes, her birthday is Monday (we have been reminded daily of the countdown since the start of the trip), so some of it is simply that she is maturing. But I have a hunch a lot of it has to do with what she is experiencing. I drank way too much water! At least that’s what...

June 2015 – Carper Diem
https://carperdiemcarryon.wordpress.com/2015/06
4 Months, 7 Countries and A Lot of Together Time. June 29, 2015. June 30, 2015. We knew driving in England would be an adventure. It took me forever to choose a car ( Four Wheels. Me: “I am going to stay quiet and not say anything so I don’t startle you.”. Hubs: “Not say anything? First of all, knowing you, that’s not possible. Second of all, I NEED your help! You have to tell me if I get too far to the left.”. He start(s) driving. And, pretty soon, he is too far to the left. Which goes like this. And th...

I am not real savvy about how to best achieve what I want it to look/feel like so I figure i’ll start and see where it goes. I hope you will take a peek.

Re-entry and cow bell. February 2, 2015. March 12, 2015. Re-entry has really kicked me in the tail feathers over the past 2 weeks. I thank the sweet heavens for throwing me back in the driver’s seat…where I belong. Can you imagine what life would have been like if your parents weren’t so screwed up? Between the swift kick in the rear fender she so gave like she’d been doin it for years! Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). It’s a wrap.

It doesn’t just happen all at once. March 23, 2015. March 23, 2015. It’s really amazing. Because I have known her for so long there is an ease to the honesty and openness. Not something that usually comes along with someone. Friend. I find myself more often wondering if I will like someone rather than wondering if they will like me. I feel more REAL. It’s a wonderfully painful, heavenly, difficult, sparkly road…that one to BE. Come REAL. I am super grateful for the people I am traveling with. Click to pr...

6 prince charming is not supposed to hear the troll under the bridge…that’s a different story! April 16, 2015. April 16, 2015. After nine months, and one break-in, she said she missed him. She was sorry, but she just couldn’t do it anymore. It will be different this time, Kelly. I promise, if he lays a hand on me or you I will divorce him. I will never talk to that man again. I don’t care what he says or does. NEVER! It only took a week for everyone to remember their lines in the nefarious production of.
