Have you ever started painting a room and mid project: your child wakes up, nap time is over, the show it over, kids get home, etc? It happens to me often. I know when I am in the "zone" I like to just go. You know what I mean? It's a hard part of motherhood that you often have to stop something you want to do, because a child needs you. It is also one of the blessings. Your child needs you. This season goes so fast. My little Reagan has been waiting so patiently while I painted her Continue Reading
The “No Mess” Preschool Fall Craft
I love a good mess. There is something that is comfortable about it to me. Paint and little cuts of paper are a pretty normal sight around my house.

Up first, I want to share with you a fun craft we did this past weekend and then I will share what is NEW around here! We Continue Reading
My first day of being a homeschool mom
I haven't talked much on here about our decision to homeschool. One reason is probably because it would be the longest post ever to explain our thought process and reasons why. I might write that someday, but the second reason why I probably haven't talked about it is...I am scared. Although I have an Early Education degree, I never used it. I graduated from KSU (7 months pregnant), got certified, and had Caleb a month later. So, although we felt called to go down this road and I Continue Reading
