Words from my heart on homeschooling, faith, anxiety and so much more.
Regardless of if you are a new or seasoned homeschooler, the first few weeks of a new homeschool year can be unpredictable. Perhaps you are adding new students or curriculum, but even if you aren’t, your kids are getting older so you are teaching a grade you haven’t taught before! This can cause homeschooling parents to become discouraged and frustrated… Read More
I love to make lists and check things off. Anyone with me? I like to be efficient, make a plan and execute it. I want hard work to equal positive, immediate results. This doesn’t really translate well into the wonderful world of parenting though does it. Let’s imagine for a second what that might look like if it did: You… Read More
It’s August and time is dwindling before the start of school is upon us, maybe for some of you it already is! Most homeschooling moms are in the throws of finalizing curriculum and resources for the school year right now (if you haven’t already). If you are a first time homeschooling mom, I want to give you some tips on… Read More
Whelp, it’s August. In some ways that seems crazy to me and in other ways I feel like we have been on break from school FOREVER! We stopped doing anything consistenly after May long as that is when the fires started and we were done completely by the second week in June. I like to take a true break for… Read More
Wow, I’ve been missing for a while! It turns out it is hard to keep up a blogging schedule during the summer while also having a brand new puppy! I shared flip through of these books on my instagram stories but I want to share still photos with you here in a post for anyone else wondering about either of… Read More
Let’s just go ahead and start out by saying none of us want to talk about this, myself included. I would rather bury my head in the sand and assume my sweet little daughters will never encounter “bad people”, “bad touch” or “bad pictures”. And, Lord willing, that will be true! I will pray to that end daily until I… Read More
Before I share what I am using for my own personal quiet time in the Word of God, I want to encourage people to do their own research and at all times filter everything through the truth of God’s word. There are so many different studies and teachers out there. Some are wonderful, some are not accurate to the Bible… Read More
I get that this can seem like a daunting task. I am a certified trained teacher and this felt daunting to me since I had never taught kindergarten before. My students had always had the basics of how to read when they came to me. Because of this, when Hailey started kindergarten and was begging me to teach her to… Read More
I just can’t keep quiet for a single second it feels like. My fingers can’t sit still. My words can’t stay in my head. This is burning inside of me and I just need to get it out. I had planned a much more articulate way of sharing my mental health story with you, and I still will share it… Read More
I want to be up front and state this is not a paid ad. I found this product on instagram last year, looked into it, and paid for it myself. I decided to write a post about it on my own accord, as I think it is a lovely product. This is the Adventures with Archer journal. Archer is a… Read More
