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 →
Listen up, guys. Or rather, read this since I'm writing not talking. As most of you know, I am a stay at home mom, a SAHM, and I love it. There are so many good things that come with it. I get to be there for my kids, I can pretty much set my own... Continue Reading →

When I did have time to collect myself, I was so mentally exhausted that I had nothing to contribute. So... Continue Reading →
Right before we bought and moved into our house, the previous owners had it remodeled. I'm not sure of the extent to which it was remodeled, but I do know that it was painted and new flooring installed. I just remember walking in and my eyes landing on the fireplace. I've always wanted a fireplace.... Continue Reading →
One of the simplest and quickest dishes we make on a weekday is spaghetti. You boil the noodles, cook the meat, mix it together and add the sauce. Ta-Da! It's done in less than 20 minutes. But what about when you want to add some variety? This is the question that we asked before deciding... Continue Reading →
It seems like there's quite a few babies being born or about to be born, at least in my circle. For all the new parents out there, I want to share my favorite products for newborns. These are the products and companies I will always recommend to the pregnant women in my life. My 6... Continue Reading →
