Ran my race! I was not feeling like i had prepared well for the half (i skipped a couple long runs and my weekly mileage wasn’t what I wanted it to be). So I dropped down to the 10k and just ran instead of stressing about running so far! I haven’t run a 10k in about 4 years so that was fun and a new PR. So yay. I’ll do another half at some point, but I think shorter distances will be nice for the near future:) #runnermama #raceday #fitone #runidaho #tvidmrtt

Treasures! I think someone must have had a ladybug release near us because we have been overrun this summer. The kids love it! :) #outsidekidsarehappykids #momlife #ladybugs #patternmixinglikeaboss

Running the birthday errands! Cake is a must! Happy 3rd birthday to my littlest!

Finishing up this stack of pumpkins and trying to figure out how to introduce the idea of nanotech to my littles before their stem club meeting. Might be a little over their head, but i suppose they’ll have fun and learn something at least. As will I. *continues googling nanotech/bioengineering* — This is our one point of semi-overachieving in our unschooling. Everything else is learn at your own pace. And mostly this is too, since it is very laid back, but i feel like i should at least brief them on the topic beforehand. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #unschoolinglife #unschoolingmama #crochetersofinstagram #allthecolors #momlife — watch for these pumpkins showing up at @bohopumpkins in the next few days! :)

One fascinating sparkle. #itssimplytuesday

Beautiful hike today. We saw about a million dogs and I realized we need to hike around nice dogs more because my kids are so nervous. All the dogs and people were great today! Also, lest you think i have it all together, I’m stretching leftover soup for the kids’ lunch by dropping uncooked ramen noodles on top. They love it. I’m feel a little 🤦🏼‍♀️😂🤔, but it is all good. Life is life. — #hikewithkids #boisetrails #boisefoothills #boiselife #unschoolinglife #fiftyhikesofshirks2018 25/50 #shirkshike

What this weekend looks like (hopefully): I have about 380 pages to read this weekend. Seems like a good assignment for this delightfully grey day. Which reminds me: another trick for reading more is using library due dates to motivate. This one is due tomorrow, but I’m planning on using that day of grace. Or I might pay a quarter later. 🤷🏼‍♀️📚😊 #librarylove #howtoreadmore #readingweekend #readmorebooks #bookstagram #booknerdlife

When #drivewaybookclub becomes #drivewaycrochetclub because i’m making pumpkins! :) i’m thankful the days are cooling off so we can just chill outside when everyone is wild. #momlife #yarny #allthehobbies @bohopumpkins

What I read last week: America is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo - 3 stars. I really enjoyed learning more about the Philippines and emigration to the US. Some difficult content, but really good. FYI: too much adult content - i would have abandoned it had i not been so invested in the story. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy - 5 stars. All the things just right: friendship, taking on the social constructs, humor, relationships, highschool, and body image. Such a body positive read. (Better for young adults, not young teens). Great audiobook! Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? By Mindy Kaling - 4 stars. story of her beginnings and everything else. Just entertaining. Though reading this after Dumplin’ the chapter about diets and growing up a “chubster” was just not as funny. Though obviously Kaling is quite confident in her own skin, it may not be helpful for some to read. —- #whatiread #booknerd #booklife #readYA #erikasminibookreviews #erikareadsbooks #bookstagram #readdiversebooks #alwaysreading
