     Leave a Comment

Hey there, Mamas! Today I'm sharing the core curricula we have started the year with for our "3rd grader"/8-year-old boy. We have used all of these for him before, so we already had a feel how they would work. I've linked below to where you can find sample pages of each curriculum to look ...

Hey there, Mamas!  This blog is an honest-to-goodness labor of love that has been on my heart for the last several years. My husband can attest, itโ€™s become our little joke for me to say, โ€œOk, Iโ€™m going to start a blog.โ€ And then nothing happens. This has been going on for literally years. ...

Anyone else jumping into their new school year soon? Or have you already started? Let me know what youโ€™re up to! โ™ฅ๏ธโ €

Iโ€™m grateful for this holiday season, the joy it brings me, and the increased focus on our Savior and giving to others! And also for 9 straight years of our tree only being decorated on the top half. ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ €
โ €
We like to get the tree set up and decorated while our babies/toddlers are sleeping, and then we all anxiously wait to see their faces when they wake up. This yearโ€™s reaction did not disappoint as this little one couldnโ€™t stop smiling and giggling as he tried to get a closer look and touch all the things! โ €
โ €
Life is about seasons, and Iโ€˜ve been working on fully embracing those seasons. Someday Iโ€™ll have a beautiful Christmas tree decorated just they way I want. ๐ŸŽ„ But I love that this season of life has blessed us with a string of active, curious toddlers, and I know someday we will greatly miss our half-decorated tree and what it meant for our home. โค๏ธ photo credit: @jasoneggett

Iโ€™m so grateful for music! ๐ŸŽถ We recently received this piano from my parents, and I canโ€™t put into words how much it means to me. โ €
โ €
My dad traded something he loved to give this piano to my mom when I was just 4 years old. I grew up listening to my momโ€™s beautiful playing and practiced every day in hopes that I could one day make beautiful music too. ๐ŸŽน โ €
โ €
Over the years Iโ€™ve shared so many emotions and feelings through the keys of this piano, and Iโ€™m forever grateful for the music education Iโ€™ve received! And so grateful now for the excitement of my kids learning, and the music that constantly fills our home โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m grateful for the opportunity this year to hold our own Sunday church services in our home!โ €
โ €
The GOOD: We are avoiding walking the church halls for two hours with a baby ๐Ÿคช AND, more importantly, itโ€™s given my husband and me so many opportunities to share our personal testimonies with our children. There have been so many difficult and frustrating Sundays this year, but also SO MANY incredibly spiritual moments for which I am forever grateful.๐Ÿ’›โ €
โ €
๐ŸIโ€™m participating in a challenge to share what Iโ€™m thankful for each day through Thanksgiving. Itโ€™s been such a great personal exercise so far, and Iโ€™d love to hear what you are thankful for too! ๐Ÿ

Today, Iโ€™m grateful for our backyard. ๐ŸŒณ It took us an entire decade to find ourselves in a house with a safe place for our kids to play outside ๐Ÿ˜… Weโ€™ve been in this house for 5 months, and every single day I have felt so much happiness and gratitude for this little yard we have. โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m so grateful for this little family of mine! I always knew I wanted to create a family someday, but I donโ€™t think I ever understood just how much they would all mean to me. Iโ€™m so grateful to be able to go through life with them! โค๏ธ
๐ŸNO-SCREEN NOVEMBER๐Ÿโ €
โ €
Hey friends! Weโ€™re just getting back into the swing of things after taking an unplanned, but much needed, few weeks away from everything!โ €
โ €
Over the last few weeks, the kids were allowed a little too much screen time ๐Ÿ˜… so we jumped right back in with a goal for no screens for the month of November, and so far itโ€™s been great! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿปโ €
โ €
These two (6 and 3) played with play doh for TWO WHOLE HOURS yesterday! ๐Ÿคฏ and woke up to get right back at it this morning ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโ €
โ €
Iโ€™m trying to keep a running list of screen-free activities to pull from in time of weakness ๐Ÿ˜‰ so please let me know...โ €
โ €
What screen-free activities are your kids loving? โ €
โ €
AND...A big hug to you all today! โค๏ธ And lots of prayers for there to be peace in our country over the coming weeks and months! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
