I'm so grateful I get to be her momma. ❤I'm the first one she comes to with good news, the one she calls when something breaks down, goes wrong, or feels too much to handle.This girl was still not reading at age 9. That weighed heavy on my momma heart during that season. She was in public school, ...

Mindset & Attitude
As a young bride I thought homemaking meant having the children dressed well and supper on the table at 6 pm for my husband, doing the shopping for wedding, birthday, and Christmas gifts, signing all the cards, and changing out seasonal decorations. What I've learned over the years that I've been ...
A decade of learning together
I would sum up the last decade of teaching our children at home like this: Homeschooling is simply beautiful. Watching our children gain an interest in the world around them and study the plants and life that God created is a joy. 💕 Yes, there are hard days, math tests filled with tears, and ...
My Sweet Girl is a Full Adult! Say What?!
What would you tell your child as they prepare for adulthood? Our oldest daughter is now a full-blown adult and has graduated from our homeschool. Moms of littles, I often tell you to rest and take it slow. Well, today I'm tellin' ya, don't blink! Soak it all in. I had thought by this ...
Friday Fun May 7th, 2021
Reading by the sandbox just got a whole lot easier! On behalf of my family, I got myself a Kindle Paperwhite. Since Mother's Day is this weekend, we'll call it a Mother's Day Gift. Ha! I would do the same thing if I had just bought toothpaste. I'm also calling this a #homeschool expense, ...

A Visit to Berry Hill Orchard
Our family had a fun opportunity to visit Berry Hill Orchard this week to pick some Aronia Berries. I had no idea this little gem of a place was located so close to our home here in North Iowa, and to be totally honest with you, I didn’t even know what an Aronia berry was until this ...
July 28th, 2020
The house is chaotic and loud today. There are toys and board game pieces in every single room it seems. My ultra organized personality battles with the desire to be the genuinely free spirited fun momma that I wish I were. Messes that don't get cleaned up each day annoy me. I'm trying to ...
Budget Office Space
My husband suddenly started working from home this spring, and I gladly gave up my office space within our homeschool room so he could have his own space to create. When I got the phone call that his company was suggesting employees work from home for a couple of weeks (due to the virus) I ...
I could’ve broken down and cried at the store…
I could've broken down and cried at the store on Wednesday. Not for myself, as much for the lack of compassion and empathy in the world today. Don't worry, on account of my disappointment and anger I held it in until much later in the day before the flood gates opened wide and I wept in the ...
