Homeschool Math Supplement – Math Mammoth Review

Math Mammoth recently sent me three of the books in their Green Series books for review. We have been using the worksheets from their Measuring, Fractions, and Multiplication and Division reproducible pdf books. These homeschool math supplement books have been a great easy addition to our homeschool math program. The Measuring Book in the Math Mammoth program covers grades […]

Thankful Thursday

So today I am choosing to find thankfulness. This Thankful Thursday is being written while I still have children that are crying with stomach pain. We had the stomach flu almost 2 weeks ago and two of my children (Samantha and Josiah) developed complications from it. They now have a temporary form of colitis. They […]

Gymboree Children’s Cothing

Who doesn’t love high-quality children’s clothing that will last through more than one child? Well, as a mother of five (soon to be 6) I sure do.

Happy Memorial Day.

The ultimate sacrifice. It is not only these men and women that give up so much of their lives to continue to protect our freedoms but it is their families as well. That is something I know all too well. My sister served for 15 months in Iraq, was injured during that time, and still […]

Household Notebook – Simplified Pantry Review

 Simplified Pantry sent me three of their e-books to review recently. I have been blessed to read Mystie’s  Simplified Dinners ($12.99) book, Simplified Dinners Gluten Free/Dairy Free ($12.99) book, and my personal favorite the Paperless Organization ($3.99) . I have loved making the switch from my original household notebook that I have used for years and written about often here […]

Homemade Mini Tarts

The other day Samantha and I set to work in the kitchen for a little mother daughter time. And  set our sights on some little mini tarts that would be fun to make, cute to serve, and easily transportable to our next potluck meal. And we hit this one out of the park. Everyone loved […]

Weekly Goals

I have been setting weekly goals for myself each Sunday or Monday to help me stay on track better during the week. This process helps me to remember what comes next and to make sure that I make time to fit in those “extra” jobs. I don’t put everyday tasks like laundry or dishes on […]
