    First Week of School in the Books

    First week of school mom is done… first full week of school for the kids is complete… and two weeks of school for dad is accomplished. Should I wipe the sweat off my brow? It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, we’re still trying to find our groove and figure out the best routine to fit all of our needs. It’s even more chaotic because J’s schedule at work has been all over the place while he tries to fill positions in his department. However, we’re getting by and doing the best we can, making the best of all situations. The kids were both excited and not excited to get…

    Baby Boo is Here!

    Surprise! Obviously I haven’t really posted much about this baby, it’s been a crazy, stressful, whirlwind year… I’m sure you know that! I haven’t felt much like blogging lately, so I just decided I would share about Baby Boo’s birth when I was ready. And yes, we changed his nickname! Baby Bean is now Baby Boo, why? Because this sweet boy arrived on Halloween at 38 weeks, 6 days gestation (my earliest baby yet)! How fun is that?! So this entire pregnancy was easy compared to my previous ones, physically anyways. However, with the pandemic and all the restrictions for my appointments, it was so stressful and not at all…

    Beyond the Stick Figure Review – Home School Review Crew

    Disclaimer: I received a FREE subscription for this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. My 7 year old, Bubby, is becoming quite the budding artist. After discovering some fun YouTube channels for how to draw some of his favorite characters I was very interested in finding him some art lessons that would teach him lots of different techniques and styles of art. I had a hard time finding something to fit the bill and our budget however. When the Homeschool Review Crew gave me the opportunity to…
