Home. School. Life.
Boy meets Girl, Boy falls in love with Girl. Option A: Girl leaves Boy heartbroken or Option B: They find everlasting love. It’s fair to say that a good amount of songs have a similar storyline, with either option as the outcome. What I’ve discovered, though, is that so many popular songs can actually have…
Originally written in the summer of 2019, this post has been republished for all the new homeschoolers out there looking to buy some awesome school supplies for this upcoming year! **This post contains affiliate links.** If I sound excited to buy school supplies, it’s because I am. There’s nothing quite like a fresh notebook and…
When I first started this blog about a year ago, I went through a list of about 15 names. I wanted it to be just right – to make it clear that my blog is mostly about homeschooling, but also a little tongue-in-cheek about the reality of life with kids. So when my brother finally…

I can’t believe it’s really here. I have been researching homeschool for what seems like forever, and I just can’t believe It’s. Really. Here.
