If you’re the mama of a baby or toddler, you know how much you value nap time. It’s the time you get time to yourself whether it be to get things done, eat your chocolate in peace, read a book, or watch your favorite show. Imagine with me, if you will, what it is like… Read More

Somewhere around this time each year, I share My Homeschool Day in the Life post. Quite a bit has changed in this past year, as I have begun to really make my children responsible for a lot more things. In the past, I held onto control a lot more, but letting go has made life… Read More

*I am so excited to share this homeschool interview with Michelle of Mid-Life Blogger!
