I have a lot on my mind at the moment and not enough time to write down my thoughts!
Here are some random tidbits :
As of the last day of May, 2010, I am no longer in my 20s.
This week, I decided to color my hair not just for the sake of something new and wild (like pink highlights) but to color gray! I used an awesome organic haircolor called Organic Color Systems which I found through my friend Robyn at Shear Miracles.
One of my conversations with fellow blogger Megan Dunham at HalfPintHouse was quoted at World Magazine online!
Our time in Japan is just about up! I will miss the karate dojo where my children and I have been practicing Shotokan karate, the lush green plant life, our close proximity to the sea, and the peaceful lifestyle of not having to lock our doors. Details forthcoming as they solidify.
Currently, I am…
-Working on my full accreditation through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth… over 100 essay questions!
-Eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Veritas Press homeschooling curriculum for the 2010-2011 school year! Micah is officially starting school this year, although we’ve been working on his reading and math skills these past two years ;)
-Preparing for our upcoming month-long home leave to the US, just a few weeks away!
-Researching housing made out of storage containers (We are considering building our own house when we move back to the US!)
Check out these links on storage container housing:
The Cordell House – Numen Development (Model we like best so far!)
Shipping Container Housing Guide
Intermodal Steel Building Units and Container Homes
What do you think? Could you live in a house built of shipping containers? Why does or doesn’t it appeal to you? What features would you want included in your home?
… and now, I will fall into my bed and hopefully sleep through the night without anyone tearfully sleep-walking into my room or mistaking my stack of cloth grocery bags in the foyer for a potty!
I’d never heard of shipping container housing – how cool is that! I’d totally live in one. Best of luck with your accreditation, and trip to the US as well!
