*This May 2020 post is a significant update from our original review post in November 2017 and includes several new subjects and levels. My family has been homeschooling since my oldest (almost 11) started preschool. After many, many, many hours researching curriculum and homeschooling methods, trying countless programs, and a lot of prayer, The Good […]
Hey y’all. Easter is this weekend. A time of year usually spent in beautiful new spring dresses and suits, hunting for eggs filled with treats in the grass of a large lawn. This year, that looks a little bit different. So what can we do to still make Easter fun? Here are some classic Easter […]
I recently had the privilege of throwing a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Cami. Choosing a theme was the easy part- my nephew’s name will be Jett, so an airplane theme was the obvious choice. Boy, did everything turn out cute! I can’t wait to show you what I did with the help of my […]
My family is big on themed parties, and we love to throw fun but affordable ones. My daughter’s top two Disney movies are The Little Mermaid and Big Hero 6, and she wanted them to be party themes. So we threw a Little Mermaid party for her last year, and saved the Big Hero 6 […]
Our family loves holiday traditions. And the best ones of all? Christmas TRADITIOOOOONS! Sorry, we couldn’t resist a reference to one of our favorite classic movies. One of the perks of a big family is having lots of people to build memories and traditions with over the years. And then more people join the family […]
This is Rosa, the little pink owl that has been attached to my daughter’s side for two years now. Rosa was the center of my daughter’s birthday party this year. I wasn’t sure how we would pull off a cute party with me being only three weeks post C-section (Thank goodness my angel mom was […]
Lasagna Roll-Ups are a great twist on the classic homemade lasagna we all love. Made with the same ingredients, it’s a recipe your family will be asking for over and over! I made lasagna roll-ups as a “fancy dinner” for my parents when I was in high school. I was so proud of it because […]
Tater Tot Casserole is an easy dinner that is both fast and delicious! This recipe only calls for FOUR ingredients- perfect for a busy week-night meal.

A new baby is a sweet, huge change for a family! We are preparing to introduce a little boy to the world, and I want my other kids to feel special and included on the day their brother arrives. So I am in the process of making Big Sister gifts! This time, our Big Sister […]
Yes, my kids have a schedule. And it has made me a nicer mom. And a better mom for that matter. Now there are clear expectations and there’s not as much whining and complaining. Our whole day down to the minute is not scheduled! That sounds like too much stress for my kind of mothering […]
I am adopted. I have always known that. I have always loved it. I have always been so incredibly grateful for my birth mother who loved me enough to place me in another woman’s arms so that I could be raised in a complete family. That incredible, wonderful woman has always *ALWAYS* held a special […]
Many of you understand what I mean when I say that Disney is not just a place to me; it’s a part of me! I’ve been to Disney World twice and Disney Land once before, but it was a dream of mine to go with my husband and young kids. I really wanted to have […]
