{This post contains affiliate links. See my full disclosure here} So, you are called to homeschool. You jump in with both feet (or maybe you feel like you’ve been drug in kicking and screaming). Either way, your trucking along on this homeschool journey, and then BAM! You hit the inevitable wall of discouragement, frustration, fear, feeling like a failure, or maybe just wanting to give up. What do you do in those moments? How do you guard your heart and {Read More}

While we were in Florida, visiting my grandparents, we had a chance to spend a day at the beach. We headed to Daytona Beach, as it was the closest to my grandparents house. This was a day with a couple of firsts for our family. It was Felicity’s first trip to the beach. It was also all of our (except for my husband’s) first time to swim in the Atlantic Ocean! We’ve all (minus baby) swam in the Pacific, the {Read More}

The kids and I had so much fun today working on this fun little Father’s Day project we found on Pinterest. We ended up combining two different cards I had pinned, AND added our own flair to it! One card idea came from THIS site. The other one we pulled some ideas from was from HERE. My son came up with the clever idea & line for adding the Starburst, since my husband prefers fruity candy. We also decided {Read More}

I can’t get up early. I’m not a morning person. I can’t blog. I don’t know what to say. I can’t decide what homeschool curriculum to use next year. There are too many choices. I can’t clean my house. It’s too discouraging how fast it gets messy again. I can’t spend time with the Lord. I don’t have time. I can’t love my husband. Do you know what he just did? I can’t listen to a second more of {Read More}

Pinterest is wonderful. It inspires us to do, create, decorate, cook, and so much more. If you are like me, you probably have the best intentions for actually doing something with those ideas you’ve pinned. But, somehow, there they sit. Waiting. Only ideas & inspiration. This is where the idea for this weekly link-up came from. A desire to actually put those Pinterest ideas into action. Each week, I invite you to get on those {Read More}

We just returned from one road trip, and are getting ready to hit the road again for the Teach Them Diligently Convention in Omaha! It was a little last minute, but a few days before we left for our Florida road trip, I threw together a couple of Road Trip Notebooks for the kids. A little something to use for learning about each state we travel in. They were to study the state while we were in it, collect {Read More}

We are leaving in the morning from a wonderful trip visiting my grandparents here in Florida. I can’t help but feel an overwhelming amount of thankfulness for our time here. I am thankful in so many ways, and for so many reasons. I am thankful the Lord has provided in all ways, all means for this trip to be possible. His kindness and love for us has been so evident through His protection, His providence, His guidance, His faithfulness, His {Read More}

One of my favorite things in life right now is watching my big kids love their baby sister. Mopping the floors today, I called upstairs, “Hey Trev…” T: “Yes?” Me: “Could you come down and feed Felicity?” T: “Oh YES!! {Flies downstairs…} He’s had his baby sis in his life for 7.5 months now, and his enthusiasm for her hasn’t worn off yet. I love it… Just one of the many sweet joys I get the privilege of experiencing in my {Read More}
