Parenting this last year has been rough. I have been challenged at my core, triggered from my painful childhood, and burned out! Not to mention homeschooling!! Now I’m not saying I haven’t experienced wonderful moments of fun, joy and love because each day my children bring me all of those things. But if I’m honest,…

Broken Glass
This week several glass items have been shattered all over my kitchen floor. First a measuring cup and then a light fixture. Glass on the ground is a nightmare to clean up. It’s as if we never find all of the pieces. And just when you think you have someone steps on the tiniest shard. …
Unplugged
A few weeks ago I deleted my Facebook page. This was probably one of the most freeing decisions I have made recently. My mind is clear, my thoughts uncluttered. In this social media driven world we often times need to unplug from the hustle and bustle of constantly being connected to the outside world. In September…
Intention vs. Reality
I’ve had all intentions to get back on a start posting again, but the reality is, my motivation to do so has not been there. My intention was to share the before and after of our homeschool space, but the reality, I just haven’t. Lately, I have intentionally been living life in the present and…
Legacy
Today is the funeral. The day where we officially say goodbye. I know the day will be filled with tears, joy, sadness, celebration, laughter and most importantly, family. The past few days in Arizona have been life giving. Even though we are here because of a death, there is something powerful about reconnecting with family,…

Celebrating ME!
I had to cancel my 30th birthday party. I have looked forward to this day since I was a kid. I mean I probably dreamed of my 30th birthday party more than I envisioned what my wedding would look like! That may sound weird to some, but it is my truth! I may be one…
What’s love got to do with Juggling?
Today we ventured to our local library to see The Juggling Hoffmans. This was by far the best Juggling show I have ever seen. It brought such joy to everyone’s heart watching. I was so upset when I realized I didn’t have my phone! I love to snap pics at every activity we attend for…
Friday Fun Weekly Update!
Swimming pool fun, strawberry picking, yummy desserts and a few home projects has filled our week. For homeschooling we have watched so much National Geographic I feel like I have a degree in Africa’s deadliest animals! It is a yearly tradition in our home to go strawberry picking. My 2 youngest kids would eat strawberries…
