Hey Everyone! I spent a good part of my afternoon putting together my Amazon Store. I've been an associate with Amazon for about a year now (I think, I really can't remember!) and I can't believe I hadn't started this sooner! It'll be a great place to link up and share with you the products that I ...

Happy Mail
Tonight I'm grateful for the colorful card from a new friend. A fellow homeschool mom sent a little cheer my way and it couldn't have came at a better time. As you can tell by the background we're still working hard on the flooring. It's insanely frustrating and out of our current ...
When Is It Okay To Gossip? & What ELSE Could I Do?
I’ve spent the last few days plucking staples, hundreds and hundreds of flippin’ staples, from our floors. We’re replacing the carpet and apparently removing staples is part of the job. Had I known this tidbit of important information, I would’ve done whatever side hustle it took to pay the $2000+ ...
Mother’s Day Weekend
A look at this picture should give you a good idea of what this Mother's Day weekend looked like for me. After 2 years of seriously looking we finally decided on new flooring last weekend and picked it up on Saturday. I was relieved to have finally put in an order & start the next step. I don't ...
Watch “When is July 4th?” on YouTube
https://youtu.be/fPFpq7XLPm4 Sometimes we need people to remind us of the most obvious things. Just in case you need reminded, Jesus loves you. That's it. Carry on. ...
The Transition
It’s “Redecorating Days” in our town. I think the official term the city uses is City-Wide Garbage Pick Up or something fancy like that. As a teenager my dad teased me one day saying it was time to drive around and do some “furniture shopping” on people’s curbs. Ever since, the saying ...
Answer The Door
The recent topic in an online homeschool community I'm a part of was "How do you feel about surprise visitors?" The overwhelming response was something like this: "I don't even answer the door! I don’t care if they can see me sitting in my house, I’m not answering!” Honestly, my first radical ...
Hope
I think too often I hope for things to change, but I don’t put in the effort to change the things I want to see changed. I am a woman who can do hard things, so why don’t I just go ahead and truly DO them already? In my marriage we’re coming out of a season of necessity where my husband has worked ...
Cancelled. Postponed.
During my early 20’s I would cringe over the thought of plans being cancelled; especially if I had already written it in my calendar with..*gasp* pen! But now, in the latest stage of my 20’s and in this busy season, cancelled and postponed plans are like total bliss. I’m not kidding. It’s almost ...
Don’t Label
I believe that when we put labels on things it sets them up to appear as though they can only be what we call them. If you tell me I’m smart I’m going to believe it. If you tell me I’m organized, I’m going to believe it and work harder to be more organized. If you tell me I’m a slow runner I’m ...
