Ready to save the world? Be a hero by helping us adopt I found this fundraiser in my initial fundraiser idea search back in January but I intentionally set it aside to release in the Autumn. When September was ending, I found our sets and anxiously waited for them to arrive in the mail. Pretty […]

forest school – autumn theme
This is week 3 of our sweet forest school and I’m still so thankful to be a part of this community! The first week we learned about gardening, second week was harvesting, and this week was about Autumn. Forest School or Nature School is best described as learning that happens while playing outside.

georgia aquarium trip 2
On September 27th, we took another trip to the Georgia Aquarium. We bought a year-pass in July and made our first trip out in early August as a last celebration of summer. To celebrate Paisley’s 3rd birthday, we decided to go again. This trip we brought my mom who was visiting from out of town, […]

September is always a hectic month for our crew, but this one was especially busy / full and honestly, exhausting. It kicked off with Rylie continuing her softball practices, which she absolutely loves! I got the last of our adoption paperwork submitted after 3 months of working tirelessly on it.

Even though we had finally reached this next, pivotal chapter in our […]
forest school – garden theme
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. […]
life lately – august 2022
August was where summer faded and routine began. And it also birthed my deep desire for Fall weather haha It kicked off with Aaron & I tackling the next stack of paperwork – agency applications. Our consulting firm works with dozens of agencies across the country but there’s 3 they work with very closely so […]
the week we went “camping” at nana’s
On Monday (8.15.22) on our way home from gymnastics, a brief but strong thunderstorm rolled through and our power went out. It remained out all night and most of the following morning. While we were at the library on Tuesday, the power company got it back on (praise!) and we went inside to wrap up […]
