Our Best Life

Aren't celebrations and holidays just the best when you homeschool? They're the perfect opportunity to mix things up, add a little spice, and create lasting memories with your children! This year, for Valentine's Day, we made our Valentine's Day no-sew heart pillows, and now we are going to show you how to make a colorful, enjoyable, and totally unhealthy snack of Valentine's Day cookies and floats. Now, don't judge! We don't do this too often! But every once in a while, it's fun to put together a fun snack that you can incorporate into your...

Spring is a Homeschooling family’s favorite season. The warming, yet still fresh air, the brightly blooming wild flowers, and the lingering days beckon to children and parents alike.

It was about a month ago that we introduced you to our new, loveable pet hamster, Desirée. She joined our family as gift to Luci for her birthday, and has been charming us ever since. We have learned a lot since our first introduction, about hamsters, and how to help Desirée live her best life. Over the Christmas holidays, our little hamster was especially spoiled with big and creative gifts, delicious food and lots of play time. Desi Goes Glamping Desi likes the finer things in life. While we would have loved to take her on...

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be calling a rodent lovable, but here I am.

Luci Did the Research Owning a pet is a bit of a learning curve. Every...

Don't you love this time of year? We just celebrated Thanksgiving, and we are now preparing and looking forward to Christmas and New Year's celebrations. This time between Thanksgiving and New Years is a special time. Like most other families, this is a time when we become more intentional about spending time with our friends and family - and especially our children. Spending time with our children is something that a homeschooler tend to do a lot of, but when a holiday rolls around, we get really serious about creating happy moments and memories. Our...

It kind of felt like that Easter morning when my children came to tell me, giggling, that they didn't believe in the Easter Bunny. In fact, they claimed, they never did. While they were still toddlers, they apparently casually watched from their bedroom window as I got home from a night shift. I allegedly ran around the yard, hiding eggs in all sorts of places. They watched it all and never said a word. For YEARS! Although I do remember thinking how strange it was that they ran straight for the eggs and found...
