  • 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…

  • Everything In God’s Timing

    A couple of things that I’m learning… that maybe you are learning as well, have already been on this path and remember… or wherever you are on this journey. It’s so easy to get caught up buying the latest gadget, whether for the kitchen, the garden, or even just shampoo. The costs of things these…

  • Easter!

    For those who don’t know, I gave up all social media for Lent. At first, it was easy… then really really difficult. But I got so much done and spent so much time with Jesus. Reading, praying, meditating on His Word. We had some incredible conversations. I redownloaded TikTok and Facebook but honestly, I feel…

  • 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…

  • Hard Times

    What do you do when you fall on hard times? I’m surrounded by friends and family that are really going through it. I pray and pray and pray but wish there was more that I could do. One thing God has been doing, as I pray, He puts a song in my heart. The 2…

  • All Good Things

    This past week has been a good one… lots of homesteading and cooking from scratch. I’m honing in on what exactly I want my blog to look like and I’ve decided I’m going to start posting pictures as well. So bear with me as I figure out how to do that. I want the cute…

  • 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…
