I am always fascinated to read Day in the Life posts from other families and so I try to share one each year here on the blog on the off-chance you’re as interested in this stuff as I am. Here’s a peek into our typical day. Of course, there’s no such thing as typical. This is our routine and something […]
I’m joining in at Simple Homeschool today to share what a Day in the Life looks like for our family. Find our past days here (2016, 2015).

As any homeschooling Mama can attest, our days are never exactly the same, but we do have rhythms and routines that help our days to run as smoothly as possible.

I am headed into my fourth year of creating art every single day. This daily habit has brought so much joy to my life as well as challenged and expanded my artistic talent like nothing I’ve ever done before. This year I am shaking things up a little bit, but not really. I have decided to continue making art […]
1– Our Edith was blessed this month, wearing our family blessing dress purchased by her namesake (my great grandma) 30+ years ago. All my sisters and girl cousins wore this dress, Ellie wore it 12 years ago and it was Edith’s turn to follow in the footsteps of some amazing, strong, beautiful women. 2–I’m feeling super inspired to get back to […]
Winter months are hard. Especially for homeschool families, those with new babies and those who live in the frigid North where many days the temperature doesn’t reach double digits. We fall into all of those categories. So in order for me to keep my sanity, I’m doing the following things. Maybe not every day, but as often as I can. […]
I had a mother who read to me Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea, Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth, “Blackbirds” stowed in the hold beneath.
