Flying from DC to CO this AM, picking up 2/3 of my kids, dropping them off with my parents in UT, and continuing on to Las Vegas where I will meet my oldest son who drove there yesterday with friends. Spending the rest of this week coaching at AAU Nationals!

My older boys have been at summer camp all week, so little man and I have been thoroughly enjoying our one-on-one time. I got to feel what it would be like if my older two were in public school...and TBH it's been kinda nice. #homeschool

Left town for 5 days. Let's see how many days it takes to catch up again. (2 so far...not caught up yet.)

Following up on yesterday's tweet: the 8yo practiced typing today of his own accord.

I'm totally rocking this summer break thing.

[Valerie Mechling @mamavalerius]

I totally worked my 8yo into *asking* if he could continue his typing lessons over the summer. #Homeschooling #momwin

[Valerie Mechling @mamavalerius]

My 3yo has covid. The rest of us are vaccinated & *knock on wood* are fine. It's been 4 days of the saddest little boy - whimpering, fevering, weeping little boy. Today I put him in a warm bath in the hopes it would help his aches. He smiled for the first time in 4 days. 🙂😭💕

My coauthor and I just started up our YouTube channel. We've got Book Three updates plus a chat about creativity:

Last day of school!

[Valerie Mechling @mamavalerius]

@corakins I'm with you, friend! Sorry about the rejection, though, that sucks.

[Valerie Mechling @mamavalerius]

It's our last week of school, and I am completely out of steam. This morning we did math, they each read for 20 minutes, and we watched a documentary about a volcano, and I feel like I have climbed a mountain. #Homeschooling

Monday.

I mean, when you have the perfect costumes, why not dress up to see a movie? #DoctorStrange #ScarletWitch

I think I'm going to have an elbow-shaped bruise on my shin. #taekwondo #martialartslife

The kids asked me why I don't play as many video games as daddy. The problem is, when I do find one I enjoy, I get ridiculously addicted and never want to stop playing!
