Confessions of a Homeschooling Mom
I wanted to share some extra love and encouragement for all you moms out there who are trying to get used to the fall schedule changes. If you’re hanging by a thread, you’re not alone!
First Day of School Happiness
I am so happy to be back to normal life this morning! We are starting school today and it’s been a full month of doing nothing but entertaining ourselves and not cleaning the house.
A Universally Good Time!
Are you as overwhelmed as I am by all of the activity surrounding this time of year? School starting, summer ending, new afternoon and evening schedules and so many new things popping up on the calendar!
The Last Adventure of the Summer
The boys are so excited about this trip that it’s been non-stop Universal talk for weeks. Since April we have had a countdown display on the school white board and every morning they change the number.
10 Encouraging Tips for Homeschooling Mamas

Rain! We finally got rain after months of dryness. There were cracks in our yard so big I was worried that one of the chickens might fall right in.

In an effort to stay cool I have been equipping myself with cooling gadgets and devices. I like gadgets and new technology. I can’t always figure them out, but I still like them.

Why I’m Playing Pokémon Go
Yes, we have gotten into the new craze…Pokémon Go. Before you throw stones and tell me how it was started with evil intent and Christians shouldn’t be spending time on such terrible things, let me fill you in.
A Friendly Competition (sort of)
Because there was a genuine risk of us of getting overrun with all of my lip balm concoctions piling up in corners of my house, I decided to send them to my friends. Everyone loves a homemade gift, right?
