A New Approach To Food – Healthy Eating As A Family
Finding the right diet and way of eating is hard. I am trying out a new approach to food – an easy way to establish a healthy eating lifestyle. I have tried so many approaches to food. In my teenage years, when I thought I was fat, I tried every diet I heard of. I would lose a few pounds and then gain a few more back. I continued this yo-yo diet for more years than I care to admit. My struggle with food has continued into my adult years. Sound familiar? But when I became a mom, everything changed. Not only did I have my own health to worry about,…

Affirmations for Health
When we take the time to say affirmations for health, it is amazing how we can shift our mindset towards positive living and reach our goals. Every morning, while I am still laying in bed, I say my morning affirmations. I love to start my day in a positive way. By taking the time to say “I am” affirmations or reflect on what I am grateful for, I find myself beginning the day with a positive mindset. The way we view the world is subjective and if we want to have a positive experience, we need to focus on the positive and things that bring us joy. Many of us…

Setting Up My 2019 Bullet Journal To Reach Goals and Create Habits
I will be tracking habits and goals in 2019 using my BULLET JOURNAL. Plan with me as I set up my monthly spreads and trackers. 2019 is going to be a big year. I have lots of goals that I want to reach and habits that I want to establish. 2018 was a wonderful year. It may have not been as productive as I would have liked but, as a result, I ended up doing a lot of meditation and self-reflection. I have ended 2018 with a better idea of who I am as a woman, a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur… As we move forward into a new year,…

Finding Yourself – As A Mom
So many women and girls dream of being a mom. Often we find ourselves, as moms, without a sense of who we are. We lose our identity and who we are. It is time to find yourself. Being a mother is a demanding job. Being responsible for tiny human beings who depend upon you for their basic needs and survival. Sometimes, as a mother, we forget about who we are. The title of mother overtakes everything else that we are, especially for a stay at home mom. Being a mom can be the best title in the world, but it shouldn’t be your only one. I gave up my career as…

Snap Circuits – A Fun Way To Introduce Electronics
Do your children love tinkering with electronics? Check out snap circuits! A fun and safe way to introduce your electronics in your homeschool. Electronics are very popular around my house. My husband works with electronics in his career and my boys have always been fascinated with electronics and how things work. They love when my husband is tinkering with old computer parts and want to join in. Sometimes they can but other times, like when soldering is involved, it is not safe for them to be working alongside him. I went on a hunt to find something that would allow the boys to experiment independently into the world of electronics. …

Like most people, I have the best intentions of getting all sorts of things done each and every day. But by dinner time, I am losing steam to get everything done that I had planned on doing. If I do not write down a to-do list for the evening, then nothing gets done. Instead of getting my cleaning done, I tend to lounge around on the couch and watch Netflix or get distracted by Facebook. These things have a…

Have A GYST Day
Having a bad day or off week? Have a GYST day! GYST stands for Get Your Shit Together and taking a day to get back on track really helps me press forward. Do you ever feel like you need a vacation after returning home from vacation? That is me right now. I went away for 3 weeks.

We visited family, tried to stay warm and dry in an off-grid cabin in the woods, witnessed a beautiful wedding, and just kept ourselves busy with all sorts of amazing activities. I have been home for a few…

Be Confident In Your Choice To Homeschool
People often love to share their opinions about how you choose to live your life and parent your children. When you decide to homeschool, be prepared. Homeschooling is becoming more common, but it is still not the norm in society. Most of my generation, in my area, grew up in the public school system. I know more people who went to private school than I do who were homeschooled as children. Homeschooling just wasn’t that common of a form of education when I was in school. It is amazing how that has shifted over the years. More and more parents are researching homeschooling as a means to educate their…
