Happy Friday y'all, I believe that most people in there mid 30s like myself have probably settled down with a husband or wife, maybe had a few kids. Perhaps they've even moved away from their hometown or traveled the world. Though, no matter what life has thrown at them, they have those handful of friends that bring them back to their roots. The ones that no matter how much time goes by they pick up right where they left off. I'm lucky enough to have this circle! My best friend infact has been like a sister to me since I was 11years old. Which is crazy now looking back, because we both have 11 ..read more

Hey y'all, Today, I was sitting at my doctors office and as they asked me a copious amount of questions about past medical history, doctors, etc. I answered one of the questions with "I received treatment from a Chiropractor." Having worked as a Chiropractors assistant for several years, I know just as well as anyone that many medical doctors seem to see Chiropractic as a homeopathic/ organic and earthy approach, some even frown upon it, now I'm not saying every doctor sees it that way. But it got me thinking. So often, we as moms especially, try to make healthy choices. Be it feeding our kids ..read more

Hey y'all, Today was one of those homeschool wins! The day unfolded perfectly and the girls seemed totally into their subjects today. Which we all know isn't always the case. After doing Language arts, math and Bible. I decided to surprise the girls by playing a quickly thrown together game of Spanish bingo. (I told them the English word and they had to match it with the Spanish word on their cards). They were so excited! Excited to break up the cycle of workbooks, flash cards and other monotonous ways I've tried to teach this subject! They asked if we could play over and over again. So I had ..read more

Hey y'all, As we enter this new year I've wondered, will this year be any better than what 2020 threw at all of us? No matter what walk of life we were in, the struggles we faced all had one thing in common. A lockdown, a pandemic, kids out of school, loss of the closeness we once had with eachother be it a hug, or even a simple hand shake, added stresses to our daily lives that we weren't at all prepared for. Then, we tack on things like losing a job, a loss of income, divorces, strains on friendships, zoom being the new way to see family and friends,etc. Its been a very challenging 10 months ..read more

Hey y'all, So, we decided to buy new pots and pans last week. You're most likely thinking, ok what's the big deal? Right? Well you see, from there it snowballed into me wanting to paint our cabinets to match the theme I've been aiming for. Which then lead me to want to paint the trim a new color to add some contrast, at which point new countertops only made sense right?... Do you see a pattern here. I'm basically living that book I used to read to my kids. "If you give a mouse a cookie" or "If you give a moose a muffin". This weekend has been nothing but work around the house and I'd say a sol ..read more

Hey y'all, Do you ever have those days where you feel like by the time one room gets tidied up and you move on to the next, the last one is messy again? Well, trust me I feel that way a lot! I have this constant need to clean up behind people. Don't get me wrong, I think kids should be kids and play. Have toys, make messes, be kids. However, I fully believe in that whole "clean up" song I started teaching them when they were 1 year old lol. With that being said...there are days I'm all about throwing flour in the air baking cookies (yes, that was how we made our Christmas cookies this year.) a ..read more

Good morning y'all, So as I sit here with my coffee in hand and eyes still unsure they want to be open lol. I got to thinking, how many of you mamas out there have older children, we are talking 10+. I have an 11 and 12 year old, both girls and let me tell you they are sure ready to be teenagers. Or at least they think they are. My house is quiet, the hubs is at work and kids are still in bed (perks of homeschooling) and I am just enjoying some me time with my coffee and pup. Before the hormonal, pre teen girls awake from their peaceful slumber and attitudes, arguing, "moms always wrong", tiny ..read more

Lets just say, there is nothing quite like a little nerf gun battle to end our night last night. I am quietly rearranging our kitchen all to myself, when out of the blue a full on Nerf war breaks out between my husband and kids. Screams, bangs and bullets flying is all I hear from the other room haha. I walk around the corner to find my little Mia dressed for battle! My husband on his stomach walking down the stairs head first like when we were kids and my oldest Kiera tucked behind a barricade of pillows.. all shooting in different directions. Pops against kids and kids painfully winning agai ..read more

Hey y'all, Ever have one of those days when you finish your homeschool planning for the week and break out into a full on dance? Well, as I was in my little happy place feeling good about myself, my lovely girls decided to take a video and pictures of me dancing and singing Whitney Houston "I wanna dance with somebody" Hahaha I will spare you the video. However, this is as real as it gets y'all! Homeschooling is more than just math, reading and science. Its taking time to laugh with your kids, have fun and well, dance!!! Haha If you haven't tried it, perhaps you should. And if you have, you ar ..read more

Hey y'all, as if homeschooling isnt enough to keep us mamas busy. We as moms always seem to be adding more to our over flowing plates. Whether it's playing chauffeur for our kids sports, play dates or piano lessons, prepping meals, catching up on the 3 loads of laundry you keep meaning to get to or just feeding the cat they just "had to have" for the last 4 years because somehow they always "forget". Our days begin while the kids are still sleeping and end long after they are in bed. Now don't get me wrong, some of us with a bit of experience under our mom belts have ways to deal with our ever ..read more
