Hey Reader! Earth Day is coming up, and I’ve been reflecting on the beauty of our planet and the profound ways that we have put it at risk. For us, our children, and our children's children. Do you ever think about the Earth and what it'll be like in, say, 50 years from now? 100 years from now? Ever seen that movie Idiocracy? 😂 Well, if I'm not sure of anything else, I'm fairly certain we won't be opposed to drinking water... Earth Day is more than another date on the calendar. It’s a call to...

Hey Reader! How is your week going so far? I can't believe it's already Wednesday, right?! Monday was Scout's birthday, and so now he's a big 7 years old. I'm super into my mama feelings right now about that. My last baby...my last hurrah. I still see his chubby cheeks, and his little piggies, and his tiny little fingers...but I know good and well that in a blink of an eye, his cheeks will get sculpted, his piggies will stink and be hairy, and his fingers will lose that soft look to them....

"Creating a unit study feels so overwhelming. Where do I even start?" "I've tried unit studies before, but they always end up scattered and incomplete." I thought so too but turns out – nope! This year, my kids are loving learning! We just finished a unit study on the American Revolution that I made myself, and they're practically experts. It was so organized and engaging, and I actually enjoyed the process, too! Wondering how? I established a unit study planning system that: Is easy to...

Hey Reader! The holidays are behind us, and here we are – standing in the aftermath of wrapping paper, sugar highs, and the remnants of holiday magic. It's back to homeschooling, back to routines, and back to figuring out where we even left off before the whirlwind of December hit. Getting back into the swing of homeschool after the holidays can feel like trying to start a treadmill that’s already going 10 mph. Your kids are distracted, your planner looks more like a wishlist than a to-do...

Hey Reader! I'm back from my respite of rest and downtime. This impromptu sabbatical was not planned but was well-received (by me, haha) and it was just the perfect time to kind of take off and take a step back to gain clarity of life, where you're at in life, your goals, all that, all while we were in the midst of the holidays, you know? We started homeschool back up, and like many of us homeschool mamas, last week was when we were going to get back to it. But us trying to get through a week...

Hey Reader! Ever heard the advice that homeschooling during the holiday season is just too chaotic and you should take a full break until January? Well, my belief is that this is… 🥁 drumroll please 🥁 FALSE!! And why do I believe this, even though others may think otherwise? It’s because homeschooling during the holidays can actually be one of the most magical, memorable, and meaningful times of the year. It’s not about keeping a strict schedule—it’s about leaning into the season and letting...
