Who Else Wants an Easy to Follow Homemaking Schedule?

Keeping up with the house can feel really overwhelming when there is so much to do: piles of laundry to wash, bills to be paid on time, toilets to keep clean, and keeping all the people fed. Up until a few months ago I didn’t have a very effective plan for a homemaking schedule but let me tell you it has made a huge difference!

Take a few minutes on Sunday to look over the week ahead and plan your homemaking schedule around your life — not your life around a to do list or a cleaning schedule. This is an easy to follow homemaking schedule, please know that it is flexible and changeable; not ridged or concrete. (more…)

Homeschool Review: Year 2

I love seeing these round ups of favorites so I thought I would share some of mine too!

A few weeks ago I bought a large bottle of olive oil from Costco but when I brought it home I knew I didn’t want to leave that huge jug on my counter so I searched for a cute oil dispenser. I originally was looking for a simple glass one but fell in love with this Rachael Ray one and it makes me happy every time I use it! And it comes in a variety of colors.

Bella turns 7!

categories: kids

I can’t believe I became a mother 7 years ago!

She changed the direction of my life and I think her daddy would agree his did too. She was a dream baby; she slept through the night at six weeks, was always happy and loved to eat!
