Hi Ya'll, Summer is well and truly hear, with the heat, and fun summer activities like playing in the water and camping. What hasn't changed is how busy we are! One of the things I love about homeschooling is that our busy level is all up to me. I get to choose alot of how crazy we are. It is such a blessing! This summer I kept out creativity going by enlisting my 14-year old in creating all the crafts I am blogging about. Is she a little old for some of them? Yes, but it doesn't stop her...

Hi ya'll, Summer really gets my creative juices flowing, from paper crafts to wood and nails and everything in between. I can't say I've done all the crafts out there but I'm making headway! I firmly believe in letting my kids sample as many types of crafts as I can, even if it's something I am not familiar with. So far, I have one kid that weaves, a lace maker, and a leather worker, but they aren't one craft divas either. We knit and crochet together, and we each have fav sewing materials...

Hey Ya'll I can't believe its June already! I've had a whirlwind of conferences and in person events, but I haven't forgotten you.

Today I'm sharing three new paperbag puppets and I'll have something new every week this summer. So don't forget to open your emails and let the fun begin! These puppets pair with the...

Hi Ya'll, I'm gearing up for another conference and the two kids still at home are starting to finish up subjects. I blinked and looked around in shock, sure enough our public schools start winding down for the summer, too. College only has a few more weeks and my middlest will be graduating. My littlest will be starting highschool classes in the fall (okay, so she has been working on highschool science all year, still it's not official in my eyes until Sept!) We homeschoolers find ourselves...

Hi ya'll, I have an exciting project in the works—one that’s especially close to my heart! My next book is all about my Service Dog, a Standard Poodle who constantly surprises people because he doesn’t have the traditional show cut. Everywhere we go, we hear the same question: What kind of dog is that? Now, I need your help! I’ve narrowed it down to a few possible book covers, but I can’t decide which one best tells his story. That’s where you come in! Head over to Facebook or Instagram to...
