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 →
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 →
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 →
