Finding Life beyond the struggles
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 →
As of today, we have made it through the first week of our new school year. Even though we've been homeschooling for the last four years, this year we're working with a new schedule and new curriculum. We also have a designated learning space which makes everything easier! New Schedule This year I've split up... Continue Reading →
Hello Beautiful People! How is life today? Has the weather been good to you or for you? I know out on the West Coast it's been crazy. Which is weird to me because as a kid who grew up in California, I didn't even know what snow was the first time I saw it. I... 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 →
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 →

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 →
