Forest School or Nature School is best described as learning that happens while playing outside. Of course you can do this on your own (as we do), but it’s always fun to include friends. A homeschool friend of mine attended one a year or so ago and I was eager to get into one myself. […]

our usborne books & more haul – august 2022
Usborne Books & More is a book publishing company I have a referral link with but I haven’t dusted it off in a while. But I was watching someone’s Instagram-Stories and they were raving about their recent UBAM book haul and it sparked me. I love books and I talk about them regularly. Why wasn’t […]
first day of school – 2022
This year’s back to school vibe did not have a lot of anticipation or preparation behind it like I’ve done in the past. We basically thought of it as “the first day of adding school into our daily routine for the school year.” We did take pictures (because it’s me 😉 ). We started off […]
our favorite kid book library picks – part two
Our family loves books, and I’m thankful it’s a value we’ve created. At the beginning of this year, I started keeping a list of those library finds that I just loved! You know, the ones you’d be willing to purchase because they’re just that good!? You can check out my top picks from the first quarter of […]
our favorite kid book library picks – part one
Books is something I really wanted my kids to treasure! Even when Rylie was an infant, we gave her books, read to her, let her play with them, etc. and I truly believe all my kids love for books and stories now is connected to the fact that we make books / stories a priority […]
our first experience with nature journaling
On Wednesday (1.12.22), the kids and I went to a nearby park and met with our homeschool group to learn about nature journaling. Of course, it was more in depth than my littles could retain – but the basic message was get outside. take time outside. draw, trace, etc. what you see and keep it […]
homeschool curriculum – 2021
There are a ton of options when it comes to curriculum & you really need to find what works best for your family. Over the last year I read some homeschooling books, did some observing + dreaming and came to the conclusion that if I was going to label our homeschool style, it’d be a mix of […]
first day of school pictures – 2021
Today we kicked off our first day of school! of course, classic first day photos were taken 😉 if you want to hear what Rylie is most excited about this year, watch this week’s episode.

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 […]
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 […]
