The other night I went to meet with some fellow Homeschooling Mommas in our community. As we were all getting settled, and introducing ourselves, I came to a funny realization.

When we decided to homeschool earlier this year- we had a huge decision to make. What curriculum should we use?I think this it the question that plagues homeschool parents the most. We want so badly to teach our children in the best way possible- but there are literally hundreds of options, maybe more. It can be SO overwhelming. I was on the hunt, … [Read more...]
As you may have seen from my many social media posts- I started homeschooling my little Kindergartner this week. First of all, how he is old enough to be in school is beyond me. They're not kidding when they say time flies! Second, I haven't been as active on here, because I am trying to find my new normal. That of teacher, mother, housewife, … [Read more...]
There are terrible things happening in our world right now. Vile, awful displays of hatred. Not only are they happening in the world, right now they're taking place right on our doorstep.

My Husband got a huge promotion last year. His hard work paid off, and he is killin' it at the office. We even moved because of his job last month- and I couldn't be more proud of him! Ever since he got the promotion, I have been looking for a nice watch for him. I told him all professionals need a power-watch. A piece that stands out and … [Read more...]
I've been promising a family room tour- and it's coming! But, first I wanted to share one of my favorite pieces in the room- one that I searched forever for. I knew I wanted a bench in front of this window. But, I really enjoy the view and the natural light that the window lets in. I wanted the bench to have a back, but most were too high … [Read more...]
It's the last day of Gatlinburg week- and I hope I didn't wear you out too much talking about our adventures. But, on this last day I just wanted to share with you a few little places around town that we loved. The Village: Right off of Parkway, the main drag through Gatlinburg, there is this adorable little place. It boasts shops and some … [Read more...]
Are you sick of hearing about our Gatlinburg getaway yet? I hope not! Because I am loving getting to share with you all of the traveling we did. This next place we went to was a family favorite for sure.
