  • Permission to reset

    I don’t like to think about my past me. Not that she was bad, but because I’ve grown so much. Past me was ambitious as all get out! She was brave and strong and … busy. She was a great sales person. She fought every battle put in front of her (and won). She did…

  • Planning the Homeschool Year

    Hello! It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here! Life has gotten away from me… So much has happened and I’m not sure where to start or what exactly to update on… Let’s talk about homeschool since it’s actually in the name of the blog. I have enjoyed having the summer off and this…

  • The Bright Side

    I’m a completely different person than I’ve ever been before. I know we all grow and change… but my change has been all encompassing! Every aspect of my life has changed, from what I eat, the way I use the kitchen, the people I surround myself with, what is going into my brain on a…

  • Tomorrow is the day!

    EEEKKKK!!! This week was chemo week, BUT!!!!! Tomorrow I’m hosting my first Easter dinner! I’m so excited about starting this new tradition! If you know me…. or knew me when I was younger, you’d know that this is absolutely NOT what anyone would have guessed of me. I was not the homemaker… I was the…

  • Palm Sunday!

    I am a little overwhelmed as to completing all of the tasks before me. I’m kind of behind on homeschool planning and everyone is already planning for next year… sheesh! Making me feel even farther behind. But one thing I have learned over the years… just because Jack and Sally are doing something, doesn’t mean…

  • Enjoying the Life God Gave Me

    As I sit here in the dark of night, on my 46th birthday, I’m pondering all of the great things that have become part of my life and how life isn’t anything like what I thought I wanted. Growing up we lived in shiny new houses and bought new things. I enjoyed this and when…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Contentment

    Do you ever just look around and feel really really content? With your “stuff”? What you’ve accomplished for the day? Your family and your home and your cooking and your homeschooling and your parenting … just all of it? I found myself here today. I sat down, after having an amazing meal, curled up on…
