In my last post, I talked about the intentions I've set for my year. One of them was to listen to my intuition and follow my gut. There are a few aspects of personal development that I've felt pulled to over the last few months. I can't get these things out of my mind, I … Continue reading What my gut is telling me right now

Current Homeschool Routine and Resouces
In my last post I wrote about my approach to homeschool. I thought it might be nice to show you what that actually looks like in our home and what resources I'm using. We start our days with morning time, where I read some books aloud while the kids eat their breakfast. I don't remember … Continue reading Current Homeschool Routine and Resouces

A little update
I've been pretty absent from my blog for a while. To be honest, I haven't had much to write about. Well, that's not necessarily true.

I'm starting a new series of posts, which I'm calling 'life lately'. It will kind of be a catch-all for any of the things going on in our lives that don't get their own post like miscellaneous photos and general life updates. So here are some things that have been making up our life lately. … Continue reading Life lately
