Because Homeschooling Is A Lifestyle

Navy and Pink Homeschool Planner

If you haven't guessed by now, pink is my absolute favorite color. I think navy blue might be my second favorite and I love it when you put these two colors together. Maybe I have my bedroom remodel on my brain, but I decided to put together a new homeschool planner. It's a little different since it's landscaped instead of the usual portrait. But I love the idea of something a little different. This one a daily planner with two options. Option 1: Subject names all ready to go with room for two electives.Option 2: Blank subject names so you can fill them in however you like.Option 3: Sizes! For the first time ever I'm offering something other than the standard 8.5 x 11, although ... read more

Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

So I feel like one of those housewives in those old black and white movies today. You know the ones where the wife is running around like crazy with the kids, everything is a mess and the husband calls and says the boss will be coming over dinner? Yep, that's me today. Except thankfully the boss isn't coming to dinner. My hubby called at 11:14 am to ask me if I could please make a dessert for his referee cookout that's tonight and apparently he's supposed to bring a dessert. "Of course, no problem honey." Panic! "What in the world do I have that I can make on that short notice?" I said in Academy Sports while my oldest daughter is trying to help my youngest daughter decide on which ... read more

Greatest Showman Tablescape

Our women's group at church hosted a dinner recently for all the beautiful women of our church where one person from each table designed their table's theme. All of the tables were so pretty! My daughter, Emily, and I designed our table's theme. We had one problem though, we came up with so many ideas, it was really difficult to narrow it down. Our ideas were: Marvel/AvengersMovie ThemeHigh Cotton SouthernAladdinThe Greatest ShowmanWizard of OzAlice in WonderlandJurassic Park/Pretty DinosaursGreaseand many more! I think I see a theme in that list! It was such a hard decision, we wound up drawing from a hat, literally! I finally decided on The Greatest Showman and once we got ... read more

Spring Cleaning Time! Kitchen Deep Spring Cleaning Master List

Welcome to my new series Spring Cleaning Time!  It's time to get our houses in order and have less stress and more time, which is exactly what every woman needs.  This is not your typical spring cleaning where you give most things a good cleaning, this is a true deep cleaning of everything you own as I discussed here.  But, it's not meant to be overwhelming, which can and does happen when we start large projects like this.  Honestly, I have found it to be liberating and with each item, I clean or purge, my stress level goes down a tiny bit and I enjoy the room a little more. Like I said in the series introduction, this is a true deep cleaning taken room by ... read more

Black Bean Salsa

This post contains affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Can I just say I may have an addiction to this salsa? Or as some people like to call it, Cowboy Caviar. It is yummy! It's also really healthy and packs a ton of fiber with all the beans. I used canned beans in this recipe, but feel free to whip up a batch of homemade beans in the Crockpot Express Pot or Instant Pot for an even healthier version. To let you know how yummy this is, I made this as a side for the Chili Lime Taco I made for supper and the next day I took a container full to my stepdad at work with some chips and he chowed down. I mean he ate the whole container right ... read more

How to make your lipstick stay on your lips

I have this gorgeous red lipstick that I adore...but...it smears everywhere. I've tried to be very careful when I put it on, but no matter what I do, it just inevitable smears. Then when I try to clean it up, I have another mess to fix because I wind up wiping off some of my makeup to clean up my lipstick mess. Do you have that problem? Sadly, we all do. It would actually be my favorite lipstick if it would just be easier to put on and stay where I want it. You know, on my lips and not all around my lips the second I take a drink, kiss my hubby, or rub my lips together, or accidentally touch my lips. Do you know what I mean? Of course, you do! Because there's always that one ... read more
