I hosted a girl's night party on 2/2. I think 8 friends came over for food and chatting for a couple hours. I know I can get the winter time blues. I made Better Than Anything cake for the first time and it was pretty tasty. 
We went to Kangaroo Zoo as a family for homeschool in early February. Thursdays are the day when we get to do something long for homeschool. Usually we spent a lot of the morning reading all our library books. Either the ones that were our favorite or ones we didn't read before we head again to the library. We tried going to both SLC downtown and to Davis County every other week, but that got confusing very fast. So we stick to Davis County and usually get 20-30 books every week. Emily's favorite books for the last several months are the Fairy Books by Daisy Meadows. They are about two girls and how they interact with and save all sorts of groups of fairies: the rainbow fairies, pet, weather, jewel, sports, days of the week, etc. Each are about 70 pages long. Emily can read them by herself all right but when reading out loud she likes it if we take turns. We've read 15+ fairy books. Recently the girls built a fairy playground in their room that was visited a few times.
Ashley is dancing in beautiful dress up clothes with her friend Sarah. You can see how fast crying happens at our house. Hard floor with slippery socks is a bad combo.

i'm really proud of all the introspection you do and all your righteous desires for your kids and for your community and for the "struggling masses" out there. some people just go through life only thinking about what's right in front of them. it's refreshing (albeit exhausting... :)) to hear about someone's conflicts to balance all these desires to help.
i too lose sleep over these thoughts, especially the homeschool vs. public school debate. i see both sides of the coin... sometimes wouldn't it be nice to just have blinders on?! much less exhausting anyway...
good luck with all your doubts, desires, struggles, and triumphs. take them to the lord. you can't go wrong if you're seeking inspiration. it just may take a while.
love,
shelley
