I have been using All About Reading level 1 with my daughter London for the past year and a half. She is now almost 7, and we’re so glad we finished a couple of weeks ago. Yay! It was an amazing accomplishment us both! When we first started in August of 2020, age wise, she was on the younger side, as she wasn’t halfway to 6 and honestly wasn’t quite ready. In addition, we discovered she needed glasses, so that played a role in the difficulty we were having with a reading in general. It became … [Read more...]

Homeschool Student Planner {Free Printable}
July 19, 2019 By
I think part of my job as a mom and a homeschooling teacher is to help my kids learn to be accountable with their school work and responsibilities. I am not really one for the unschooling. In life there are things that must get done, even if you don't want to do it. But this is not a post about not agreeing with "unschooling".. I do like this post if you want to read more about it. This post is about helping your student to independently be in-charge of their life, at least teaching them how … [Read more...]
School’s Out for Summer {and a screen-time checklist printable}
June 18, 2019 By
School’s out and that means lattes at the pool, quietly reading your book and the house stays perfectly clean right?? RIGHT! We all wish! Since our routines are a bit different now, I find my kids thrive on having a checklist. This checklist has all kinds of things to do in order to get screen-time. If I didn’t have this type of checklist, we’d all be tempted to just be couch potatoes and have a REALLY lazy summer. And while those times are ok once-in-a-while, this helps so we don't get … [Read more...]

Year of Dates || 12 Months of Pre-planned dates with your Husband
January 25, 2019 By
I've been seeing the infamous 'Year of Dates' idea floating around social media and pinterest for years now but anytime I thought "I should do that" it was right before a holiday or anniversary with not enough time to actually get it done, so I moved on and decided not to do it. Last year was a really hard year for us, I lost a baby. And a lot of things went on the backburner, including date nights. So towards the Fall, I thought, I NEED to do that 'Year of Dates' idea! Marriage IS important! … [Read more...]

When it comes to Christmas traditions, one of my favorites is the annual Christmas letter. I know some people dread these, but I LOVE them!

Here are a couple from the past years: I keep our letters in a special Christmas book my mom got us before we had children. I love looking back each year and reading the … [Read more...]
Trusting God, Checking the Mail and reminders of God’s goodness
July 3, 2018 By
No one ever plans to get pregnant and then have a miscarriage. No one ever plans to try and have a baby only to walk a path of infertility or secondary infertility. And even if it was an unplanned pregnancy, (most people... I don’t want to say all because I know there are people who choose to end life, maybe because the feel it’s the only option) but for the God loving women they don’t plan to lose a baby. We were happy and content with our family size... then found out about an … [Read more...]

A Few of my Favorite Things {April}
April 20, 2018 By
Hello everyone! I have missed you over here on the blog. You may or may not know but I had a misacarriage at the beginning of the year. I have actually had a very hard time healing emotionally as we thought we were done having kids. Then surprise pregnant, fell in love, then had a missed miscarriage (when your body doesn't realize your baby has died.) And I am still working my way through the healing process. (I shared my story here). Going through all of that, things weren't … [Read more...]
