Finding Life beyond the struggles
What do you do when your child asks if Santa Claus is real? It can become quite a conundrum depending on how you’ve approached the tale of Santa over the years. This post is one I wrote back in 2020 for my first Blogmas. I have updated it and want to share it again because... Continue Reading →
With school starting I figured now was a great time to share our homeschool curriculum. We have actually been "in school" since June, so we're already a few months in. Since starting, we’ve made some changes to the curriculum. So today I'm not only going to share what material we're using, but also why we... Continue Reading →
I decided to wait until this morning to post instead of my regular Wednesday posts simply because today is World Oceans Day! I haven't written about this holiday since 2020, which really is a shame because it's an important one. I'd say it's about time I write on this holiday again. As I'm sure you... Continue Reading →
How crazy is it that May is over and it's June already? May was another whirlwind month for us so I didn't post a lot. It was full of appointments, recitals, and a vacation with friends. Thankfully I did have time for some reading. I probably would've gone absolutely bonkers if I hadn't. The Naturals... Continue Reading →

Happy Monday! Also, happy fact, unlike last year, I remembered it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day! I can't believe it's been a whole year since I first wrote the following post, but the dream I have is still there and bears repeating. I encourage you to take a moment today to look up the...

Last week I accomplished something major. For a little over a year now, I have been working on learning Japanese and last week I completed the last lesson in the first workbook. Can you see the confetti I'm throwing and the horns I'm blowing? Okay, so it might not seem major, but it is a... Continue Reading →
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 →
I realize this post is long overdue. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I don't have a lot of books to choose from this time around. The good news is that all the books I did read were new. Back in June, I bought some new books. It was actually a tough decision because I was in... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! Sad fact, since I am no longer a part of the corporate world, I did not realize that today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Today we celebrate the Civil Rights Movement Leader's birthday. It is the only nationally recognized holiday celebrating the societal reformation. Photo by ATC Comm Photo on Pexels.com Rosa... Continue Reading →
