Finding Life beyond the struggles
Good day everyone. How was your Labor Day holiday? I had half a holiday, I guess? Hubby was home for most of the day and went into work after nap time, but since I'm not a morning person I think it worked out well. I've also been dealing with an eye infection that finally started... Continue Reading →
Happy Tuesday! Did you know that today is the beginning of a Biblical New Year? I actually did not know this until this morning. I guess today is the perfect day to begin our study of the Book of John, then, huh? Today is also a good day to think about extra curricular activities for... Continue Reading →
I am SO excited to have my first ever guest post. Katy is a good friend of mine, a fellow dance and homeschool mom. She is my go-to when I have questions about anything homeschool related or when I need to geek out about our common interests. She is honestly my role model when it... Continue Reading →
When we first began homeschooling, I bought an undated teacher planner. I wrote down every subject in the curriculum workbook plus our extracurriculars. I even have a space for anything extra we might do, like watching a documentary. I don't plan our school year out all at once, instead I plan week-by-week. That may seem... Continue Reading →
Do you remember how exciting field trip days were? A day of not sitting at a boring desk, reading out of the same material, shuffling from class to class, just going through the mundane monotony. Believe it or not, sometimes homeschooling can feel the same way. Thankfully it doesn't have to be all school books... Continue Reading →
I first wrote this post in September 2020. Not much has changed since our first year of homeschooling, including my opinion. We have found great new materials to use and we've brought Isbe in with her very own workbooks (per her request, of course). This year, I'll even be doing some homeschooling myself, as I...

It's finally happening, guys! I am getting my herb garden. This is something I have wanted for awhile now and it is going to happen this Spring. Question: Do you say Herb with an H or not? I used to pronounce the H until my mom told me it was silent. However, I recently heard... Continue Reading →
Good morning! Or whatever time it is as you read this. I hope you are having a good Tuesday. Two weeks ago we made the decision to officially bring Isbe in on the Homeschool game, even though she's still pretty young. We bought her her own homeschooling books that match Ade's and now she begs... Continue Reading →
I am so glad we chose to homeschool and not just because of Covid-19. The more we venture on this path, the more I'm wishing I had been homeschooled. The freedom that comes with setting your own course is absolutely amazing and with so many extracurriculars out there, it's easy to explore all different kinds... Continue Reading →
How is it June already? It completely snuck up on me. According to a Facebook memory post, this is actually a regular occurrence. I'd like to think it's because I'm enjoying my life and not concerning myself with some future date. I know this year that's a big reason. Two weekends ago we celebrated our... Continue Reading →
