Adventures of B and R: March 2014
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Thursday, March 20, 2014. Last weekend Rich and I went to Charlotte, NC for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. There is a lot that could be said about this trip but I'll leave it for now with this:. Rich made that bike! It was almost the death of him (and me or just him by my hand.). But it was worth it because it's amazing! He's so talented and creative. And cute! Check out some more photos of his bike at http:/ blog.gatescarbondrive.com/. Sunday, March 9, 2014. It started ...

Adventures of B and R: October 2013
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Monday, October 7, 2013. This blog post could also be titled "Why I hate being a parent". I realize it sounds horrible. I don't care. Maybe I will tomorrow. But this is today. Being a mom is the most difficult thing I've ever attempted to do. Not only because the act of mothering is in and of itself difficult but also because it complicates every single other aspect of my life. The best parenting advice (warning? So I hate parenting because it's heartbreaking. The emotional str...

Adventures of B and R: July 2014
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Friday, July 25, 2014. This was Eliana's 2nd season on swim team and holy cow, what a difference a year makes. She is a lot like me in that she's not super competitive so it's a little difficult to light a fire under her. She doesn't have a lot of grrrrr normally in races but she did SO AWESOME this year! My mom made it out for one of her meets and it happened to be the one where Eliana was the heat winner in EVERY event! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). That's just what we look like.

Adventures of B and R: April 2014
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Monday, April 14, 2014. Typically it's been Eliana's odd number years that have been the most difficult but 10 blew that right out of the water. That girl has the best way of proving to everyone that we have no idea what we're doing. I don't know what to do with her. It's not her behavior, it's her heart. It's not my style to wish her life away but 4th grade can't end soon enough. Sure things won't magically change on the first day of summer but it's nice to have a fresh start&...

Adventures of B and R: November 2014
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Wednesday, November 5, 2014. October is by and large my favorite month and October 2014 did not disappoint! We went through a whirlwind of activities and had the most amazing weather. I LOVE OCTOBER! The festivities commenced with a trip to the corn maze. She really has a thing for bumpy pumpkins. Eliana celebrated her 11th birthday this month and that was an event! We typically make a big deal out of birthdays but this year's party went on forever! That was.an experience. Dressing...

Adventures of B and R: One Week
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2014/08/one-week.html
Adventures of B and R. Saturday, August 30, 2014. The way I imagine it, everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting to hear how the first week of homeschool was, so this is me satisfying that deep, burning desire. You're welcome. :). To be honest, I'm not totally sure how I feel about it. So while the jury is still out, I think it will be best to just give you a day-by-day rundown of our week. We ended up taking Rich to the clinic that evening and he was diagnosed with pneumonia. Long day). I know the...

Adventures of B and R: February 2015
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Today marks the second time since we started homeschooling that Eliana has packed a bag with the intention of running away. I'm not sure if I should count this as a success that it's only happened twice (high fives all around! Or an epic failure that it's happened at all. I'm also not sure if all moms of daughters would say that their little bundle of joy hates them more often than loves them or if I'm just extremely lucky. The jury's still out. I can'...

Adventures of B and R: January 2014
http://garduniabeansandrice.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Adventures of B and R. Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Starting a new year. I'd like for the world to see that Eliana grew this year. This seemed like the best way to do that. You my have guessed correctly that these pants were not always high-waters. I'm glad that 2013 is over. It was a crappy year. A lot of cool things happened too but on the whole, it sucked. Big fat sucked! I'm not sure what changed but I'm ready. Maybe I needed just one more thing to go wrong. Maybe I needed it to make its rotation 365 ...
