Ah, May! Sweet, sweet May. I don’t know what it is about May but it just brings out all kinds of craziness, like: 1. Old men with what looks to be white legs that have possibly been bleached. I mean don’t know how they get them so freakin’ white! Is that even natural? Healthy? Is there a ...

Better Together
In my hurry of making my relationship with my husband, and homeschooling our littles a priority, I sometimes (okay, often times) forget to make my friends a priority too. This week has been full of playdates, backyard chats with friends, encouragement and conversations at MOPS, shared meals, and a ...
Jesus Heals Brokenness
Brokenness. So I busted the lid of my slow cooker tonight. I was putting a dish away with the shelf pulled out and another dish fell behind down onto the crock pot lid, shattering it. Glass was in the cupboard and splattered around the floor and I couldn't help but think, "this stinks" ...
5 Random Differences About Us
5. He rinses dishes, I put them into the dishwasher with food still on them (In my defense I knock the big chunks off). 4. He uses a real alarm clock that takes a giant C size battery. I use the alarm on my phone. 3. I'm certified in Social Media Marketing. He rarely logs on to any social ...
QUICK TIP TUESDAY: Within Reach
My friend Tiffany had a post several months ago that inspired me to begin putting things within reach for my youngest. With my older two kids I rocked at this. My home really looked kid centered, and it was. {Lots of primary colors and everything was labeled} Then we had a big gap ...

Product Review: L’Oreal Cleansing Balm for Dry/Damaged Hair
Being a member of Influenster definitely has perks! Like getting full sized bottles of shampoo/conditioner sent right to do your door for FREE, in exchange for a review! I have always loved trying new products; I was the teenager signing up for free samples and passing them out to my ...
Ask For What You Need
Tonight's post is inspired by Mr. Awesome. He says "When you don't know how to do something, find someone who has that skill and ask for their help". I'll add to that, when you have a skill you can share, do it freely and with a glad heart (work at it if you have to, sometimes I do). What a gift ...
Be a Wife, Then a Mom
I work so hard to be a great mom; especially as a homeschool mom. I spend hours researching curriculum, getting to know my children, their learning styles, their interests and so on. We are home all day together; we spend the most time together. We sit and read books together, we go on mini-trips ...
Survival Mode
Today’s writing prompt from The Daily Post is on “Survival”. I have had my fair share of survival moments in my adult life, but today I don’t feel like going deep. Today I’m going to admit that I have unnecessarily thrown my emotions into survival mode and as a result I have been a pretty crappy ...
