About

2020 EDITED to ADD: This is no longer an active blog but, for homeschool families it still has some great posts about homeschooling life! Also, to see what our family looks like these days - take at look at my Instagram feed on the right side of the blog.

Hello and welcome to my little home on the blogesphere! I began this blog back in September of 2008 ... as a homeschool mom, it was a way to document all we had going on. I figured between my lesson plan book and this blog I could always show what was going on in our homeschool journey.

It has grown since our humble beginnings ... I love sharing curriculum, recipes, craft projects, field trips, holidays, and how I find "joy in the everyday".

My husband and I have been married for 30 years ... we have three  children who are now 18, 17, and 15 years old. We walked through the process of growing our family through adoption in early 2013 with a 15 year old girl from Latvia. Unfortunately, our plan was not God's plan and our adoption journey ended later that year. We will always be blessed by that journey and we remain in contact with M even to this day in 2020.

Our life is not perfect, but I live each day knowing God has a plan for us. Though some of our days can seem so long, our years are always too short. This is a look into our crazy life!
