finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
We’re nearing the end of the school year. Our first as homeschoolers! I think the final day will be May 31st, then we’ll take a bit off before launching into 1st grade. Honestly, I’m a little torn on when to kick off our next school year, so, weigh in … I’m due September 8th with […]
When our Fall term of homeschooling ended, I cataloged all the books Jemma read here. I thought it would be fun to keep track term after term; a way to reflect on what she has read and share her recommendations with other little readers. But then, I couldn’t. Because she’s freakin’ Belle. Always reading. Always finishing […]
We’re wrapping up our 4th week of homeschooling and I’m stopping in to confess that homeschooling is hard. Harder than I thought it would be. If you’ve been homeschooling for any amount of time you’re probably chuckling at me and my earlier exuberance. You knew this was coming. You knew it was hard. But, if you […]
A dear virtual friend (like, really really dear) is sharing an amazing post about the election! If you’re a homeschooling mama or just one who likes to keep their littles abreast on current events, you won’t want to miss it! Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a homeschool mom and a work-at-home mom. Things I am […]
Oh my little love! It’s your first day of kindergarten! And it happened in a blink of an eye. How? How? I mean, I’ve been here all along, but it’s still a wonder that you’re almost 6 and in your first year of school. We had planned to start our homeschool routine after co-op next […]

She has a passion for music and a heart beating for change. Melody says: Fairness and equality for all people […]
Oh. My. Goodness. Our very first homeschool year is upon us! 4 weeks away now! I’m excited and nervous and all the while our curriculum for the year has been rolling in despite my worry about what I’m getting in to. It’s going to be a great year though and I can do this. I […]
This post was sponsored by P&G as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. By now you’ve probably gathered that we are official homeschoolers! I know, I know, I can hardly believe it too. It took mountains of research and a giant leap of faith to […]
A new era is beginning! We’re homeschooling next year! An official homeschool family, that’s us! And I’m scared spitless. Here’s how it all goes down — Years ago, before we had children, Dominic and I tossed around the idea of homeschooling someday. It’s easy to talk about someday plans. So easy. We are practically professionals at someday […]
This past weekend Dominic and I went out on a movie date (Owen Wilson’s No Escape, totally not a normal Owen film I might add). After, we found ourselves at Applebee’s. We haven’t been in ages, but it holds fond memories for us because late nights at “The Bee’s” were a regular occurrence during our […]
1994. My first trip to Yellowstone. I had just finished 1st grade and was greatly anticipating our adventure to a new part of the country. My parents, grandma, almost 5 year old sister and newly turned 2 year old sister were all coming along in our ancient Suburban. We dubbed that beast the “Zoo-burban” because […]
