Adding Fermented Foods
Fermented foods… How many of you enjoy fermented foods? I think I can thank my mom and her German side for introducing me to ferments at a young age. Sauerkraut was a staple in our home, as well as liverwurst and many other tasty German treats. So when my Trim Healthy Mama coach told me…

Homeschool Resources
Some resources that I have stumbled upon that are invaluable to me now: Pam Barnhill and community! Pam Barnhill has so many great resources.

Peace that surpasses all understanding.
Today we are going to look at the Bible. I am such a fan of Paul and his letters to the churches. Let’s look at Philippians 4:7. If you have the Bible app on your phone, it was today’s scripture. It says: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts…

Lazy Day
Yesterday’s contentment has carried over to today as we’ve had a snow day. I spent the day listening to homeschool classes and books while being lazy on the couch with my favorite blanket. Today I sent this text (see pic) and it was totally an “aha” moment. My life is so radically different than I…
