Chelsey, We Did That Too!

The kids were pretty bored their first week out of school. I told them I wasn't going to entertain them or take them anywhere for the entire week so that I could get ready for girls' camp. During nap time, they were sent outside every day. Their instructions were to, "not bother mom for two hours."

They did pretty good! In fact, I didn't have to fight to get them outside much. Their best idea included this homemade Slip 'N Slide. They found a tarp in the garage and used Dad's screw drivers to peg it down in the grass on the slope. They were busy for quite some time including set up, play time, and clean up. They set this thing up for a few days in a row and had a great time with it. I have a longer, funnier video to post, but my computer just couldn't handle it.

The risk of posting this is admitting that my children were mostly unsupervised for hours at a time. They didn't get into much trouble and I was able to get the things done that I needed to.

I hate writing this since it is so trendy, but Lol. Homemade slip n' slides are lots of fun. Now you just got to get Rick to make the potato gun and shoot a beanie baby out of it too. You'll love it: ). By the way, every mom needs naps, so I guess every children need to be unsupervised at times.

That Sinking Feeling - Real Talk From Your Mother

Also found at Letters from the Nest: https://open.substack.com/pub/lettersfromthenest/p/that-sinking-feeling?r=48qui&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Dear Nestlings, I hope you don’t mind a little stream-of-consciousness letter today. I don’t know if I have anything specific to share, so let’s see what floats to the surface. It’s a bright fall Friday morning. These last few weeks in central Pennsylvania have been lovely, sunny, and warm. I know winter is coming, so I try to be outside as much as possible to take advantage of the sun before it hibernates. I just completed the forty-minute round trip to drive one of you to the high school. You know who you are, but maybe in a few years, when you read this, you won’t know because every one of you has missed the bus sometimes and has endured lectures about planning better and showing your respect for my work by not requiring forty minutes of my life for your convenience. Anyway, everybody is at school and work except...

Gavin in a Million Words or Less

Way back when Emily was in 6th grade, her teacher, Ms. Grey, asked parents to write about thier children in a million words or less. I posted what I wrote about Emily on our blog. I wish I were more organized and tech-savvy to find the link to that post and put it here, but I'm not. It's a nice idea that maybe I'll do later. Anyway, you get to read what I wrote to Gavin's fifth grade teacher who made the same requests of parents: Gavin is the youngest of seven children. His three oldest siblings have flown the nest, so he talks to them on the phone and looks forward to holiday visits. This summer, his oldest sister had a baby, so he’s an Uncle! He has three older brothers, who sometimes make life tricky for him, but are also sources of wisdom, rides to the store to get candy, and annoying TikTok phrases. He sometimes wants to be more grown up than he actually is. This little guy is academically oriented. He loves to read BIG books. He rarely reads a standalone nove...

Back To School Meanies

Letter From the Nest August 15, 2025 https://open.substack.com/pub/lettersfromthenest/p/back-to-school?r=48qui&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web One August, more than twenty years ago, at an evening book club discussion, my “older” friends (now I look back and know those women were the age I am now), were discussing the woes and triumphs of back-to-school season. One woman was anticipating her youngest child’s senior year of high school. She said, “For more than two decades, our lives have revolved around the school district’s academic calendar. I don’t know how I will plan my life without knowing about school breaks or holidays.” I remember her bittersweet tone as she anticipated freedom from school schedule constraints but also mourned how those constraints guided her choices. What would she do? Other women joined the discussion, wondering if their kids would have good teachers, if they’d be able to balance volunteering in the classroom, how to streamline school supply pu...
