    February Bullet Journal Set Up In A Minimalist Style | Plan With Me

    I am in love with my dotted journal notebook. Check out how I am planning for success with my bullet journal set up for February in this Plan With Me. My Bullet Journal Notebook One of my goals for 2019 is to be more productive and organized. I purchased a budget-friendly bullet journal off of Amazon as a Christmas present to myself.  So many journals are so expensive and, since this was my first one, I wanted to find a cheap bullet journal to experiment with before committing to one of the more expensive brands like a Leuchtturm or a Scribbles That Matter. I have been doing pretty well with being…

Being outside and in nature has always been my happy place.  I love camping, hiking, and just relaxing outside with a good book.  There are so many opportunities out in nature than many of us do not take the time to enjoy.

    I am A Lazy Mom – The Truth About Unschooling

    Unschooling happens without the use of curriculum, testing, schedules and grades. Am I a lazy Mom? Here is the truth about unschooling. Because I put my life on the internet, people feel the need to comment on me as a person even though they have only watched one YouTube video or seen one Instagram post. It is amazing how many times I have been called a lazy parent on my unschooling videos. You would think that I sat on the couch staring at my phone or having a nap the entire video!  But instead, I am playing with my kids, cooking with my kids, reading stories and playing board games. …

    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,…

    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.

    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. …
