The best laid plans... Seriously though, why is it that when it seems like I have taken every necessary step to get all my little ducks in a row I turn around 10 minutes later to see that my ducks aren't in a row at all. In fact, they aren't even in the same vicinity… Continue reading It’s Time To Get Real…

Making Time to Read
I love to read. I pretty much always have. When I was younger one of the worst punishments I could receive from my parents was for them to take away my books. When I graduated from high-school and moved on to college my reading transitioned from fun fiction novels (what I call "brain candy") to… Continue reading Making Time to Read
Our Unconventional Homeschool
Homeschooling. Miriam-Webster defines "home school" as to teach school subjects to one's children at home For some people this looks like taking a traditional classroom setting and simply recreating it at home. The desks, the chalkboard, the lesson books and work sheets all done just like they would be in a 4 walled school with… Continue reading Our Unconventional Homeschool

When Christmas Doesn’t Feel Christmassy
Its 11:00 on Christmas night. All the holiday meals have been eaten and cleaned up from, the gifts have been opened, played with, examined, and appreciated, and now everyone is sleeping soundly.

The 7 Experiment: Food
HAPPY NEW YEAR! And welcome to the first month of The 7 Experiment. The late fall/early winter season is one that has always somewhat baffled me. First we have Halloween where we start the overindulgence with candy, sugar, and treats. From there we move on to Thanksgiving where we all gather together with the soul… Continue reading The 7 Experiment: Food
2018:Plans, Challenges, Changes
I love the new year. I love the idea that there is a fresh start. A clean slate. It's funny, because realistically it's just another day. Another 24 hours. Another sun up and sun down. However, we have put such an emphasis on time that we celebrate the end of something old and the beginning… Continue reading 2018:Plans, Challenges, Changes
2017: A Year in Review
Each year I pick one word to focus on. I spend time researching its meaning and how I can apply the principles attached to that word to my life. I have chosen things like consistency, contentment, and things of that nature. The word that I chose for 2017 was "Simple" I had intended on focusing… Continue reading 2017: A Year in Review
