Back in 2020 I had am impromptu orientation, so this year I planned one in advance. My plan wasn’t very elaborate – +tell them we’d start school in a couple days +let each girl put curriculum in their proper bin +go over schedule (here’s a look at our school schedule for the year. I also […]
highlights of summer 2021
The heat may still be in the air, but our carefree days are wrapping up as we gear up for our homeschool year. Our theme of a carefree summer was definitely an accurate prediction as most of our days were spent at home with a few special activities sprinkled throughout the months. Our summer kicked […]
activity bins for toddlers
Next week we’ll be starting school and I’m trying to get as prepared as I can to make my life easier. Homeschooling is no joke, especially when you’re homeschooling a Kindergartener + caring for two toddlers and an infant. I’m already tired just thinking about it. I needed something that would keep two toddlers busy […]
life lately – july 2021
July started busy with getting ready for the 4th of July party we hosted. Emmaline also peaced-out and spent a few days with her aunt. As the days went by, I still struggled to adjust to the chaos of four babies. Thankfully, my moments of overwhelm lessoned and I started to get my bearings. We […]

I think I become over-stimulated because I suddenly just cannot deal and start shutting down, getting anxious or getting […]
spencer – 2 months old
Little man is two months old and I can already see where the newborn days are fading. Likes: snuggling eating smiling facing outward starring at ceiling fans being held my mama Dislikes: being put in his carseat, usually being touched by his sisters while he’s eating having gas Food: Spencer is still eating great. He […]
Alabama Safari
On Friday (7.9.21), we crossed another adventure off our Summer Bucket List – the Alabama Safari Park. Aaron was the one who expressed great interest in going, and I had heard that it was a lot of fun. We headed out as soon as we had eaten breakfast and drove a little over an hour […]
essential oils to help rsv (with shopping links)
I’m writing this post with a healthy and whole baby boy next to me, and I am so incredibly thankful. When Spencer was diagnosed with RSV, I felt a mix of “not scared” and “very scared.” And rightfully so. RSV to toddlers and older kids is basically a rougher cold, but RSV to an infant, […]
