New Craft Alert: Easy Paper Roll Animals for Kids featuring Pandas and Bees!

Hi Ya'll! We have had a wet summer so far, and as I'm sitting here it is raining again! Rain or heat, the result is the same, craft time! Most writers and content creators schedule ahead by weeks or months, but I'm not that on top of things. This week, we are trying to put a few things up while we enjoy an offline week at camp. Wish me luck as I brave a week of hot weather, no cell service, and 200+ girls from 5-90 :D Badges, crafts, fellowship, camp food, and worship time, its all good...

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. Summer means kids are free or mostly free from school work, but it also means hot weather. If it gets too hot to stay out all day I've got you covered with a new batch of crafts. 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’m thrilled to announce the launch of my newest picture book:✨ Yes, I’m a Poodle! ✨ This sweet and silly story was inspired by my real-life service dog, Theo. Kids ages 3–9 will giggle and grin as they follow Theo’s curly adventures—and learn an important message about not judging others by appearances. There's even a little bonus learning at the back with fun facts about Poodles and service dogs! 📖 Ready to Meet Theo? 👉 Buy the Book 🎁 Free Printables to Celebrate! To go along with...

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...

Hi Ya'll! This year’s in-person homeschool conferences are right around the corner, and while I won’t be speaking this time, I’ll still be there—and I’d love to see you!

Hi Ya'll, I hope this finds you thriving and finding joy in your unique homeschooling adventure! As a fellow homeschool mom with three very different learners, I understand the incredible juggling act figuring it all out and not killing that love for learning. That’s why I’m so excited to share these two resources with you. Rediscover "Homeschooling Outside the Box" A while back, I wrote a special series called "Homeschooling Outside the Box." It’s all about embracing creativity and finding...
