Today, March 14th is National Pi Day No I didn’t misspell that. I really am talking about Pi. If you’re like me, you may have been too far removed from school to even remember what pi is. Yes, I homeschool, and yes, my son has been exposed to pi…but for now I haven’t had to do much with explaining pi to him yet. The math program he uses is
I Can’t Homeschool Because: I Want My Kids to Play Sports
I’ve been homeschooling for the past 11 years. I remember when I first talked about homeschooling my children, my husband was a bit reluctant because he definitely wanted our kids to play sports if they wanted to. Especially football! He always regretted not playing football in high school, so he wanted his son to have that chance. Many parents have the same concerns! In fact, that is a very
Green Giant Has a Surprise and I Share a Surprise “Talent”
I’m a snacker at heart. I love nibbling on things here and there between meals. I have 6 children who like to follow in my foot steps! They absolutely love eating, but some of them don’t always love eating their vegetables. I bet you can relate. I have good news though: Green Giant has a Giant Surprise: New Veggie Chips. Let me tell you, these chips are delicious! Snackers
Create a Finger Painting Masterpiece for Kids
Last week, I shared the Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cookies that we had at our local girls group. Holly also planned a craft for the girls that day.

Once the paint was mostly dry, we pulled off their words (or shapes) and they had a beautiful

Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cookies

Last week, we went to our girls group called Bright Lights (a group where we talk about being Godly young ladies, do a craft and eat a snack), and she was the host. Each month, we take
Starting Shaklee New Diet Program
Excited. Nervous. Afraid. That would explain the emotions that I had when I found out about the new diet that I committed to doing. I’m in the #Shaklee 180 Blogger Program! I will be starting this new diet the first week of March. I’m a girl who would love it if I could only lose weight by exercising. Of course, I’d have to actually find the time to exercise. Yeah.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars – Secret Recipe
Do you have any of those “secret recipes”? In all honesty, I didn’t even know about this recipe until I was married for nearly 17 years. I’m not sure what jarred my husband’s memory, but suddenly he wanted “some of those coconut chocolate chip bars”. I had no clue what he was talking about, thus the secret. He called his mom and got the recipe and we, of course, enjoyed

5 Things I Procrastinate Cleaning in the Kitchen (and how I’m going to take control of them!) The kitchen is the room of the house that always has something going on in it.

With all that action going on in the kitchen, it’s easy to delay cleaning
