That Plexus Review
Confession: I stink at follow through right now. (I say right now to pretend that this won’t be a problem in my future. To imply that I have this issue under future control.) So. Here I am. I don’t even know how many days later, writing about my Plexus experience. Day One I drank the pink drink around 2:30 in the afternoon. We had a late lunch and my friend had suggested post lunch for consumption if I was hoping for afternoon energy. (And – I really am. I have never been a coffee drinker so when fellow mothers claim their lifeline to be the caffeine found in coffee, it’s a…

The Pink Drink, Plexus and Peddling Your Wares
If Facebook has taught us anything it’s that there are about one hundred and thirty two bazillion ways that people try to start their own businesses and promote their own products. And that there are approximately eighty two gazillion products that we can try to get fit, stay slim, reverse aging, feel younger, look younger, turn back the clock, be our best self, survive on almonds only. You get the idea. I don’t know if you’ll believe this or not, but I’m a skeptic. More of cynic than a quick-to-believe what I hear and what I read. But I am currently also a person trying to make a living through the peddling…

The Perplexus: A Review
We were on the road for more than 2,000 miles in March. I try to plan a handful of little surprises along our treks to make the time spent in the car more fun for everyone inside the maroon shuttle. When we reached the Tennessee border the kids were allowed to open a family gift. We’ve seen it in the hands of our friends for months. I’d never heard of this little sphere of entertainment until our friends introduced it to us. The perplexus. It’s about the size of a soccer ball and it’s plastic and it’s filled with brightly colored mazes and a small metal ball to traverse those…

tuesday.
Days have been too busy to have very much sit-down writing time for me. With homeschool (and maybe all school) you not only have to fight against spring fever, you have to fight against fall fever. I think fall fever is harder to beat than spring fever. (But that’s probably only because right now it’s fall (ish) and so whatever struggle I find myself in at the moment feels like the hardest one – you know?) I want to be outside all day long – but I don’t want to be doing school all day long. Some days we compromise – we do school outside. Today we sat at the…

let’s call this one quits already
Today was a lousy day. I mean. I don’t even think I have what it takes to type it out and turn it into a story. I know I’m due a post about the Plexus Pink Drink Experiment. I have a cute article about picking apples with kids to post. I’m sure one of my children said something adorable or funny or embarrassing that I could write about. But instead I think I might just go to bed unreasonably early and let this day die the slow, sad death it deserves. You guys – we just never know what a day holds when our feet reluctantly hit the bedroom floor…
