Because Homeschooling Is A Lifestyle

Creative Ideas for Homeschool P.E.

It doesn't matter how old your kids are they need PE. I have to honest, I hated PE class when I was a kid. The only time I actually liked it was when we played volleyball or during middle school and we got to use the weight room. I was the girl in gym class that occasionally would tell the teacher that a got a "present" in the mail so I wouldn't have to do class. I was happy that I didn't have to take it in high school. Funny thing is I would work out at home, I just couldn't stand it in front of people. But enough of that story. Kids need PE, they need to exercise and move. They need it for their health, mentally and physically. As a homeschool parent, you have to option to be ... read more

Mom Guilt, Does It Ever Go Away?

I've had a lot going on personally and I'm not writing any of this so that you'll feel sorry for me, but to let you know that if any of you deal with anything similar, you are not alone. I've decided to really get back into sharing more of our life, this is supposed to be a lifestyle blog after all, so here goes. Three weeks ago, I started off with lots of chest pain that went into my back. My face was breaking out and red and I was itching everywhere.

How My Allergies are Destroying My Health & How I’m Taking My Health Back

So I'm not really sure how to start this post. It's very personal and I've kinda strayed away from posting about myself lately, but I feel like I really need to share this with you. Maybe it will help someone else. So here goes! I've been having really bad allergic reactions lately, I mean really, really bad.

New Favorite Kitchen Must-Haves

So, after 29 years of marriage, it's time for a kitchen overhaul. I really need to throw myself a kitchen shower or even a housewarming party, but that would be kinda tacky wouldn't it? So instead of throwing myself a shower, and spending all kinds of money on a party, I've just been slowly making a list of all the things that need to be replaced, things I'm missing and some new gadgets and pretty things that I'd just love to have. I started doing this last Fall, slowly replacing a few things here and there and there have been a few items that I've gotten so far that I'm not sure how I've been cooking without them. So here are some of my new, favorite things that I've bought or been ... read more
