Words from my heart on homeschooling, faith, anxiety and so much more.
Sleep is important. We can all agree on that right? We feel better when we get enough sleep. From the beginning days of being a parent, sleep is something you think about, worry about, dream about. How can I get my child to fall asleep? Stay asleep? Let me sleep? Is my child getting enough sleep? The questions are endless…. Read More
I get asked often if I have a place where people can view available curriculum and up until now I did not. This will be just a list of available curriculum with a link to their sites. I am not going into detail on each curriculum. Some of the curriculum packages I offer involve me selecting two choices per subject… Read More
So I’ve had this post planned for quite some time now but do you know what keeps me from blogging more? It is my lack of creativity. I can’t come up with catchy titles and I don’t have the skill of taking pretty photos so I let that deter me from writing. I have the knowledge and content in my… Read More
It happens to us all. Things go bad. Maybe you wake up earlier than you wanted to the sound of whiny or grumpy kids. Maybe you miss your alarm. Maybe you spill your morning coffee.

I love to travel. I have always loved to travel. Some of my fondest memories from childhood involve our family vacations. I also enjoyed all my travels throughout my university years and early teaching years in the north. It’s been important to me to continue to travel with our little family, even in the years when funds have been tight…. Read More
I’m bbbaaaccckkk!! I hope I am back more regularly but, of course, the actual schooling of the children must be the priority! We have had so many (too many) breaks lately. Incase you don’t follow me on social media, we were away for about 3 weeks in November on an epic road trip to California and Disneyland. It was literally… Read More
Some of you saw on my instagram last week the felt map of Canada that I had set out for my girls to play with. That amazing and beautiful creation was made by a lady on the east coast of Canada who runs a sweet little shop called Twig and Daisy. You must go check out her instagram account and… Read More
I talk about community all the time! I am so thankful for the community we have built in all the different places we have had the pleasure to live in for a period of time. I know how important it is to be in community and I know how much more deeply that is built when you open up the… Read More
