Inspired… Us?

Nov 30 2007

Published by Squirrel

We are a family of 5. Filipes, 44; Me (Squirrel), 39- no way; boy child, Beasley Bean or Sally, age 9; boy child, Guga-Roo or Zip, age 5; and the girl child, lovely Miss May or Fidge, age 3 going on way older than me. Plus one Honey Bear, of course. We live in the mountains. We are active. We love each other despite the chaotic craziness that is our days. We used to live in the Washington, DC area- Northern Virginia. We love our mountains….

Filipes and I work mostly from home. He computer geek-man. Me photographer of portraits and weddings and writer/editor/photographer/publisher- OK, owner- of very small local newspaper.

We are proud, albeit confused, scared, disorganized and pitifully ill-prepared, new initiates into the homeschooling community. Our fourth grader, Sally, is our first victim… I do believe we will happily victimize the other two. Please visit www.pluttification.com to bear witness to our misadventures!

We look for, and sometimes find, inspiration in our work and we look for, and often find, inspiration here at home with our family. It is often crazy. Often chaotic. We yell. We argue. We love our kids. We think they love us…

We are getting better at finding inspiration in this craziness and chaos. We didn’t used to. We are getting better at enjoying the moment and what is, right now. We didn’t used to.

We are about connecting to other parents and families who find the inspiration in the everyday, crazy, chaotic moments in this parenting journey.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

    • Say It!

      … when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

      Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

      As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
