I have had high gardening boxes for about 3 years now and I love them! They are so nice to garden in and they cut down on weeds more than enough to make up for the extra time they take to build. (I HATE WEEDS)!! See that HUGE rhubarb plant?!? This came as a start […]
I’ve never started seeds for my garden before. I know they are picky and can die easily, so it is easier to just buy the plant. But this year I am trying to really immerse myself in gardening from the start to the end (plus they are Way cheaper!). I first started a set WAAAAY […]
I have changed our curriculum many times over the years. When I started, I started homeschooling in the middle of the school year and so I needed something quick, easy and ready for me to start using. We started through an online K-12 program, Utah Online School, and it was great! Even though we were […]
I always love to see what other peoples homeschool schedule looks like! We have a pretty good groove going on this school year. My kids are such morning people…they are up early (like before 7 most days). We start breakfast around 7:30 a.m., get dressed and tidy up and we are ready to start school […]
I get asked this question ALL.The.TIME! At the beginning I didn’t really know what to say because my reasons “why” were so personal. But now 3.5 years later…I am happy to share! At the beginning, I had many experiences with being ashamed to tell people that I homeschooled. Especially my extended family. My immediate family, […]

My mother-in-law has had chickens for a long time which was great because we would always get eggs from her. But two years […]
Let me introduce you to my 2015-2016 school year students! Trynitee: This girl is pretty dang awesome! She is currently in 3rd grade this school year. She is the reason why we started to homeschool. She is sweet and sensitive. She notices EVERYThing…no secrets around her! She loves science and geography….doesn’t love math and writing […]
Ahhhhh! It is May and that means that our homeschool year is winding down! I am so excited to wake up and be able to go directly into my yard to garden and keep up with all those dang weeds that multiply and divide overnight…each.and.every.night! Aaaannnnndddd …. don’t tell the students …. but momma needs […]
I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time…but really I don’t know if I have much to say. But sometimes I do! So at those times that I do have something to say, now I can! I am starting this blog to help others with homeschooling, chicken raising, pioneer living, etc….I […]
