One Person’s Boredom Is Another’s Security

Published on July 21, 2018June 18, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

This sentence in the book I just finished reading so describes my life sometimes. I’ve written about our routines and schedules again and again. Some people think that our life must be pretty boring if we are doing the same things again and again. Sometimes it does seem a little boring but I try my best to keep things interesting.

I stick with what we do because it is what works best for our family. We have three children, two who are special needs, who were adopted. They need the structure and stability of the routines we have in place to help them feel secure. So this sentence makes perfect sense to me.

Haystacks aka Noodle Cookies

Published on July 16, 2018June 18, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog9 Comments

As promised I will share the recipe for the cookies we made earlier today. These are super easy to make and I had made two batches, or about four dozen cookies, in less than 30 minutes.
