The best part about having a curriculum to follow (we chose the Peaceful Preschool) is that it gives me ideas that I otherwise wouldn't have thought of on my own. It also pushes me to challenge and trust my kids a little more than I might have without it. The thought of giving my kids… Continue reading Week 1

A is for Apple
We're wrapping up Week 1 and oh my, what a week it's been. Honestly, I've been having an absolute blast and the kiddos seem to be enjoying themselves too! Day 1, I called in the reinforcements and "baby" H went to spend some time with my mom. I had this vision of our first day… Continue reading A is for Apple
Homeschool + Young Toddler = ??????
When we decided to homeschool L & R, one of my main concerns was what in the world I would do with H while we were trying to learn a thing or two. Now, my homeschool philosophy isn't going to be one filled with worksheets and lots of quiet time at a desk, so there… Continue reading Homeschool + Young Toddler = ??????
2020-2021 School Year (aka the year of unknowns)
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on the ole blog. It’s been a VERY busy couple of weeks over here - we’ve spent lots of time outside trying to soak up the amazing weather, L&R had their first dance recital & we’re gearing up for another school year. The decisions us parents are… Continue reading 2020-2021 School Year (aka the year of unknowns)

EVERYONE LIED!!!!!… Continue reading The trip home
Beach Vacations – what to take!
What a wonderful beach vacation we've been having. The trip down was pretty good - very few complaints, lots of excitement and even a few quiet moments with some naps. Well, that's how my trip was at least, maybe not so much the hubs :). I mentioned before how we had to take both of… Continue reading Beach Vacations – what to take!
Road Trip with Littles – Packing
For me, the whole packing for a beach vacation thing *almost* makes me just want to skip the whole trip all together. The entire week before we leave is spent going through ALL the lists (the 3 on paper, the 7 in my phone and the million in my head) while wearing our ugliest clothes… Continue reading Road Trip with Littles – Packing
Past vacation memories
Our vacation plans, much like every other aspect of our lives, took a sudden and unexpected turn thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic we're currently facing. With the state of Florida suddenly experiencing a major uptick in cases in the past few weeks, momma's anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF. Whether warranted or not, I just couldn't… Continue reading Past vacation memories
All Touched Out
My husband's eyes will probably reach the back of his head when he reads the title of this post. He hears this phrase all too often... sorry Jesse 😬. But ya'll know what I mean, right?! That feeling when everyone needs you, in a physical way, for what seems like every hour of every day… Continue reading All Touched Out
