Hello, friends! Let’s grab a coffee and chat about how our homeschool year is going. As we reach halfway through the school year (how are we here already!), I wanted to share an honest update on the curriculums we’re using and how they’re working for my four kids. Homeschooling is such a journey, isn’t it? It’s always helpful to hear what’s working (or not!) for others, so I hope this gives you a glimpse into what’s been successful for us and maybe sparks some ideas for your own homeschool. Let’s dive in!

The holidays are a wonderful time to gather around the table with loved ones, share in laughter, and, of course, enjoy some incredible food. Over the years, I’ve developed a few favorite holiday recipes that have become staples in our family celebrations. These dishes aren’t just about the flavors (though that’s certainly part of it!)—they’re about creating memories, sharing comfort, and celebrating the season's blessings. Here are a few of my go-to holiday recipes that bring warmth to our gatherings. I hope they find a place on your holiday table as well!

In this post, I share the top 10 habits and daily rhythms that help me stay balanced, energized, and organized as a homeschooling mom.

Whether you’re looking for tips to streamline your homeschool routine or just want some inspiration for self-care amidst the busy life of homeschooling, these practical habits can help.
