ETHAN Project: Enjoy the Mess!

Tracy / August 11, 2015

The last week of the summer 2015 ETHAN Project assignments has arrived. We’ve enjoyed each week of this project- each one brought an adventure. We made lots and lots of memories. “Enjoy the Mess” is the final assignment. I’ll admit, this one gave me a little bit of a scare. I mean, I spend lots and lots of time trying…

So, I’m a little late this week with my ETHAN Project posting. We have had such a full week- my computer time has been low on the priority list.

This week’s Ethan Project…

The ETHAN Project- Week 1

I asked this morning on Facebook if there are friends from childhood you wish you could find again. Christy R., was my childhood friend. We went through a few grades together. She spent some time at my house and I spent lots of time with her. I was always amazed at her big, Italian family. I remember her mom brushing…

ETHAN Project

Have you started thinking about summer with your children yet? The temperatures here are near 90 this week. It’s a reminder that spring is coming to a quick close and summer is arriving. I’ve been thinking about the last few years. I always had plans for summer fun. I wanted the children to go into fall with memories of exciting…
