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...

Happy Valentine's Day, Friends! For some random reason this year, my children have become obsessed with Valentine's Day. For weeks now, they've been asking me, "When is it Valentine's Day, Mommy? When is it Valentine's Day?" They never mentioned a reason for asking, but I started to think that maybe I needed to step up my game a little to meet their expectations. This usually involves crafting, so we decided to make some Love Bug Essential Oil Diffusers for ourselves and our friends. Our Love Bug Essential Oil Diffusers are super simple, made with some clothing pins and pom-poms. I found some wide clothing pins...

Anyone here a fan of Valentine's Day? I stink at Valentine’s Day. I never know what to give my dearest husband, so his gift usually ends up being some awkward card. My kids, on the other hand, spend weeks creating all manner of Valentine’s Day crafts. I’m sure the intention is to give them to my husband and I on Valentine’s Day, but they never even remember to. I’ve seriously considered doing the same thing for my husband. For this Valentine’s Day, I thought I would be a little more organized, and take care of the parents’ gifts and the Valentine’s Day...

I've been enjoying the antioxidant drink NingXia Red from Young Living for several years now. If you haven't had the opportunity to try it, it's a delicious drink. It's base is the wolfberry and it contains pure Orange, Yuzu, Lemon and Tangerine essential oils. I drink an ounce or two every morning and afternoon to energize, fortify, and revitalize my body, while supporting overall health and wellness. Even my kids love it! NingXia Red is far from just another "energy drink," in fact, I cringe when I hear those words. Although it does provide sustaining energy with the combination of wolfberries and...
