Disclaimer: This is no way an endorsement of any particular gym. I am not being paid for this post. I took a major step toward reclaiming back my health and my knees and not to mention my waistline. I joined a gym! Such a scary thing, right? I have always wanted to join one, but the ones around here were always too expensive and honestly, there were only a couple to choose from. Fast forward a few decades and now we have Workout Anytime and Planet Fitness, both with several locations around us. But joining a gym is a huge commitment. Do I have time to go? Will I actually use it? Will I keep going after the newness wears off? And don't forget, you need workout clothes! Decisions, ... read more

EDS Awareness Month: See Me
May is Ehlers-Danlos Awareness Month and today in honor of it, I'm linking to my daughter's blog. She has written an incredible post about what it's like to live with EDS/Hypermobility, a disease we both share. Life isn't easy when you have a disease and her post is a great read for anyone that lives with a disease, especially an invisible disease. Her post is all about how friends, family and even strangers see her disease first before seeing her. As a mom, it breaks my heart. Please take time and read her post, it is gut-wrenchingly honest. This link will take you to her blog and the post. Emily Bare: See Me ... read more
New Ebook Idea: Homeschool Mom Journal
I have been really praying about something new I could offer the homeschool mom community and today as I've been going through updating old blog posts, the idea hit that I wish I had a journal when I was homeschooling. My blog has become my journal of sorts, but it would have been so neat to have something to write in and doodle in back then. I'm sure there are plenty of journals out there, but I feel a prodding to create one and I would love your help. I would love to know what you would like to have in a journal. Some ideas that I already have are: What I loved about today What I would change about today What I'm grateful for today Ideas for another day Coloring ... read more

Getting the Most out of Physical Therapy
If there is one thing this family knows about, it's physical therapy. For the past ten years, almost every year, at least one of us has been in physical therapy. Why? You name it! Sprained ankles, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, wrist injuries and not to mention knee surgeries, shoulder surgeries, etc. It's crazy! That's what happens when you live in a family of hardcore athletes and two people who have EDS. Currently, two of us are in physical therapy, Emily for her wrist and myself. I'm still at it, rehabbing my knees post surgery! Over the years, I've learned a lot about physical therapy and working with your physical therapist and the doctors. Hopefully what I've learned ... read more
