Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding. Proverbs 3:13
I have a confession. I spend way more time scrolling through Pinterest searching for new recipes I will never make, new projects I will never attempt, and generally dreaming of a hypothetical world where I have all the time, energy, and ability to complete the hundreds of things I have "pinned" on my 100 and… Continue reading Blogmas 2019
Yesterday I shared some of our budget friendly Christmas ideas and in that I talked about one way we save on gifts is to give what we call "Experience Gifts" These are things that we can do as a family that usually don't come with more clutter to find a storage space for.

In today's day and age when Christmas comes into the conversation it seems to be followed by the idea of "bigger is better." Everyone is looking for the best gifts, brightest lights, and most stunning decorations to "wow" friends and family. Don't get me wrong, I love a good holiday display. The problem is with… Continue reading Christmas on a Budget
The holiday season is often marked by the traditions that families create. I don't know of anyone that hasn't developed at least one tradition to go along with each holiday.

One thing I hear a lot when people find out we home-school is that they don't know how we could afford it. Between curriculum, supplies, and me being home rather than having a second income the math just doesn't seem to add up. Well, let me be honest. Yes, home-school can become expensive. But… Continue reading My Top 10 Home-school Must Haves
Cleaning. It's like the adult version of "The Neverending Story" isn't it. You can spend hours cleaning a particular room of your house and then just a few short days (or minutes in my case in a home with three young children) it just has to be done all over again. And then, while you… Continue reading Creating a Cleaning Schedule that Works
I love the beginning of a new month. Truth be told, I actually like Mondays for the same reason. I love the idea of a blank slate. A fresh start. The beginning of September also tends to bring with it the beginning of a new season. September 1st tends to mark the first unofficial day… Continue reading Hello September
If you caught my post about Embracing the Positivity last week you know that this school year we are on a mission to focus on the positive aspects of each week.
