Our homeschool life the year we chose to slow down

When we began homeschooling I had this huge plan.  A plan to keep my kids in so many activities and social options.  I think I had this idea simply because of the stigma of "anti-social kids" who homeschool. When I initially began homeschooling we only had 2 children and it was only kindergarten for our son while our daughter was a newborn.  We...

Trust your mom gut, alternative healing methods are out there.

I had my third child August 2017.  This was not the perfect  delivery wanted by every mother.  If you have a minute, read the post I wrote about it.  This was traumatizing on our newborn, myself, and my family.  Never did I imagine things would go so very wrong. My lovely little dude got stuck.  They wouldn't listen to me when I said...

VERY Important reasons we choose to homeschool

Guess what it's tax season.  Time to send the government their money.  Or get money back.  Who know's.  However Taxes is something so many children are not taught.  Including myself. Now looking back at my childhood and education I realise now that some of my own life challenges are things that I was not taught.  I know so many adults that were not...

Literally I ask myself this question probably daily.  A lot more lately as I'm running on very little sleep, covered in puke hourly, and feel all I do is stand in the kitchen preparing food for these 3 little beings that never seem to stop eating.  I'm truly shocked with how much food these children consume in a day.  No wonder our grocery...

Now first off I want to say to all you moms who work out of the home what a challenge you really have for saving money and meal planning because I feel like it’s nearly a full time job. We have been clean eating for nearly 3 years, that means literally little to no processed foods.  This isn’t simple but since we made...

Mom guilt ...the struggle is real.

I see mom's every day struggling to be the best mom they can possibly be,  including myself.  Recently I have witnessed some awful instances of mothers not being their best.  This is quite shocking to me because I have huge mom guilt if I don't do enough crafting or if I allow my children to play on the iPad.  Then there is a...

I'm SORRY we don't do sleepovers

This may seem so very odd as some of my fun childhood memories are of sleeping over at friends or having them stay over at my house.  However times are so very different. I had a lovely conversation with a mommy friend mentioning all my concerns and issues surrounding sleepovers and she said “hey we have decided as a family that we will...
