Hey there, mama! Today’s post is a bit different. I asked my husband, Jim, to share his perspective on what happened when life threw us a curveball and how the systems I’ve put in place made all the difference. Now, to say he was thrilled to write this would be a bit of an exaggeration, […]

Our living room sees a lot of action. Between watching TV, playing games, homeschool and just hanging out, it’s a space that gets used constantly. We end up tidying it up almost every day to keep things under control. Besides the kitchen, the living room is my favorite spot to relax and spend time with […]

The other day, someone said to me, “I can’t believe you homeschool and run a business!” They looked at me like I was crazy. And while some days it can be hard, most days it’s not that bad. As both a mom and a business owner, I understand how challenging it can be to manage […]

I wanted this week to be a smooth transition for everyone, easing into our new routine without overwhelming ourselves.    Learning the ropes […]

Balancing the demands of mom life, homeschooling, family and work can feel like an endless juggling act, especially since moms wear so many hats. From managing work deadlines to making sure dinner is on the table, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But with the right strategies, it’s possible to find balance between your professional responsibilities […]

We officially start our first full year of homeschooling tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited! While we’ve been doing some activities over the summer, like Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech and Vision Therapy for Isabella and JJ, this marks the beginning of a new chapter for us. Isabella has spent time working on her reading, […]

I need to start by apologizing. I often talk about routines, habits and ways to make life easier because I truly believe in their power. But I worry that I might be giving the impression that our life is perfect—and that’s far from the truth. We don’t live in a picture-perfect home, and I definitely […]

I’m often asked, “How do you get your kids to do chores?” It brings back memories of being a kid, where chores were a regular part of life. I learned so many valuable lessons from them—responsibility, accountability and the understanding that nothing is simply handed to you. Despite having chores, I still had plenty of […]
