In the past year, I’ve discussed quite a few methods and styles of education (Charlotte Mason, Classical, Montessori, Unit Study, Waldorf, Unschooling, and more) through Instagram. Though we utilize a blend of styles; we certainly don’t incorporate all of them. Explaining them is not an endorsement of them or necessarily a lesson in how we [...]

Homeschool Chat: Balance, Consistency, Scheduling, and Burn Out.
For a few years, I would periodically hold Q+A sessions to discuss homeschooling on Instagram. It’s always been a topic that gets a lot of questions, but I quickly learned that when given the invitation many more people than I would have otherwise heard from came forward with curiosity. Last year, as questions increased without [...]
Easter Guide
Gathering our Easter resources proved to be quite an undertaking. It took hours of reading, watching, consolidating, typing, linking, prepping supplies, purchasing materials, remembering past resources and researching new ones. Yet even with an extensive array of curriculum, meaningful Easter basket ideas, educational videos, baking projects, hands-on activities, books for all ages, music, and more… [...]
St. Patrick’s Day Guide
St. Patrick’s Day has certainly been hijacked by leprechauns, luck, and lager. It takes some digging to find appropriate resources telling the true history of the missionary once named Maewyn Succat and the reason he is remembered. We are not worshipful of saints. We certainly don’t pray to them. But it is, I believe, important [...]
Weekly Homekeeping Rhythm
It was time to freshen up my homekeeping rhythm. Every time I do, it becomes a little more streamlined. So here is the latest edition for those that follow along with me! The great thing is that even if this exact rhythm isn’t the best fit for your life, it’s easy to use this as [...]
Spring Rhythm
I try to start every season with a new list of music, oil blends, recipes, and daily rhythm. We don't legalistically follow a schedule. So you won't find it broken down by hour. Every day is a little different, but they all follow the same general flow: Refresh, Reset, Recharge, Refocus, Recharge, Reset, Refresh, Rest. [...]

Something for the Grown Ups
Okay, so you've checked out the Big Gift Guide for Little Ones and have figured out exactly what all the kids in your life are getting... Now what are you getting your spouse, best friend, siblings, parents, and that wacky aunt? Fortunately, my family does a "Secret Santa" gift exchange. So that massively simplifies things [...]
Big Gift Guide For Little Ones
My main goal for this gift guide was to provide ideas for a range of ages (1-12 years old) and a variety of unique brands, independent businesses, and sustainable products. They are organized into two main categories: play and wear. I've included age and price information to guide you further (and noted eco friendly or [...]
Autumn
The sounds, smells, and tastes of this season. As well as, the rhythm of our days. We strive to weave hard work, rest, reflection, nourishment (for body and soul), and quality connection into every day. Sometimes we succeed. Sometimes we fail. But every new day is a chance to give it our all. We aren't [...]
