Today I am sharing some great tips on Homeschooling for FREE in the Elementary ages over at Free Homeschool Deals. But, sometimes you just need to use bought curriculum. We use it for several reasons, but one BIG reason is that I find it keeps us on track much better. We’ve only been homeschooling for [...]
Yep…today is my birthday! A woman never reveals her age, so let’s just say I’m holding firm at 29!!! Today has been a typical Monday for sure! I think we should outlaw birthday’s on Mondays. It’s been a rough one for sure! But I am so thankful to be a Mommy to these four wonderful blessings. [...]
In our 9 years of marriage, the Hubster and I have spent exactly TWO New Year’s Eve’s together – our first year of marriage being one and one year when it was on a Wednesday or Thursday (his nights off). Otherwise it’s just been a “normal” day around here for us. We do our chores [...]
If you’re just joining me, you can catch up with Part 1 here. Before I get started, I have linked up a friends post in the Blog Hop, but it truly warrants another mention here. I have known Lindsay since she was a little thing. In fact, (this is going to tell my age) I [...]

It seems, to me at least, that Fall is the time I really get excited about crafts. DIY crafts for me, for the home and for my kids. I don’t always get them all done, in fact I rarely get them all done. I usually have lofty goals and dreams when it comes to these [...]
This week has not been our best. Saturday night we took Punkin to Urgent Care with a fever of 102, runny nose, general overall fussiness and clingy-ness. She’s normally a pretty passive baby, hardly fusses (unless someone takes a toy from her) and she’s very rarely clingy, so these were signs something was up. She [...]
How many times have you been hard at work all day, busy with the kids and housework, only to look down and see the clock roll over to 5:00pm? It used to happen to me all the time before I began doing a Weekly Meal Plan. But what do you put on that Meal Plan?? [...]
Some days it seems that all my kids want to do is eat, eat, EAT!!!! Those days may tire me out, but they go much smoother when I have some pre-made snacks on hand for the kiddos. So, once again I turned to my favorite resource for all-things-food…Pinterest. Today I’m sharing with you a some [...]
