The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

Birthday gifts


I have been thinking (it happens most when I am procrastinating. You know school work inspires epic avoidance) about my birthday. I am going to be 31 so what do I want for my birthday? I want to stop yelling at my children. So Starting April 1 I am not going to yell at the boys for the whole month of April. My heart is pounding already because instead of eating breakfast the boys are rolling on the ground dictating a war between the cat and a stuffed panda! Screams, meows, and squeals filled the room. I feel bad for our cat. She just cannot win at all.   I want to yell at them and tell them to stop and go finish breakfast. So I am only committing to one full month and then I will reevaluate the goal. This seems harder than say giving up T. V. for lent. Is this the most boring birthday gift you have ever heard of? Maybe it is my old age creeping up on me. I am scared, and nervous. No yelling for a month! Eek.

I hope your day is filled with inspiration, love, and laughter. Be well my friends.
