The one response I get EVERY SINGLE TIME from people when asked about homeschooling is: “I couldn’t never do that. I don’t have the patience.” Each time, I want to respond “Um…  Have we met?!” If you know me at all, you will know that I am probably the least patient person on the planet. So yes, homeschooling is a constant challenge to me because of this. But, because of the incredible benefits of homeschooling, I am always looking for ways to create a stress-free homeschool day. Stress management is super important for me. I have a pretty intense job as a nurse. I work 12...

It's been kind of crazy lately, hasn't it? With all of the changes and challenges we've had recently, I've been wanting to reach out to you, the hesitant, unprepared, or reluctant Homeschooling Mom. Maybe you were forced into homeschooling by the pandemic, maybe you've chosen homeschooling for other reasons, believing it to be the best choice for their families. I'm talking to you today. One of the best things I've seen emerge from this time of stress and uncertainty is a massive, brave, emerging group of proactive parents that are turning to homeschooling. In the past few...

When it comes to commercialized holidays, I like to go against the tide. Now, I won't lie, I absolutely appreciate flowers or a thoughtfully written card. And let's be honest, I'll never refuse diamonds. I'll probably even eat the sub-par chocolate because I have a problem that way. But what's the deal with over-priced teddy bears and crowded restaurants? Definitively not my cup of tea. This year, we decided to skip the commercial route, and did things a little differently. Together with my kiddos, we are making simple DIY gifts that we would all love. We settled on essential oil- infused...

I knew before we started homeschooling that there would be challenges.   Knowing myself and my children, I even knew what our biggest challenges would be!  Sure enough, I have not been disappointed… Why Did We Originally Consider Homeschooling? One thing that originally really compelled me to consider homeschooling was observing my son in his preschool environment.  While the rest of the kids would sit quietly, cross-legged in a circle listening to a story, he would be jumping up and down in the background, listening in his own way.  It was a loving and accepting school with very small class sizes, so the fact that my...

Summer is here! Down here in Texas that means lots of pool time, backyard BBQs, and Friday Night Football, but also crazy weather, violent thunderstorms, and lots of fireworks. While some of us Humans may welcome these things, thunderstorms and fireworks can be terrifying to our animals. Dogs especially find fireworks to be frightening because they are accompanied with vibrations, sudden flashes of light and a burning scent. Many dogs react by showing signs of fear and anxiety, many will even run away in a panic, to escape the noise. With the 4th of July soon upon us, I thought it may...

It's not easy to sift through the mountains of information when it comes to choosing a quality probiotic. The probiotic market is growing rapidly, and is expected to reach over $65 billion in the next 5 years. This is because more and more people are taking control of their health, and insisting on preventative measures rather than sick care. Even the medical and nursing fields are recognizing the contribution of probiotics. But how do we know which probiotic is a quality supplement? How can you make sure your probiotic is working? Probiotics are alive, but they are fragile little creatures and...
