If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!The time we spend with our families is priceless. But most popular family activities are quite expensive.

So how did I spend my 31st birthday today? Well, I didn’t shower until about 5:00 PM…cause I am uber glamorous like that. My hubby slept all day and got up to go to work at 4:00 PM and didn’t even recall that is was my birthday or at least he didn’t say anything if [...]

I joined an online unschooling group recently and foolishly I did not read the group’s mission statement. It was actually a group of “radical unschoolers”.  I think I have talked about them here before and while I think they have a lot of valuable lessons they can teach about living with compassion and peace, sometimes [...]

This is a my beautiful fairy girl Paige who just turned 4 last month. In celebration we went to Disney Princesses on Ice. It was one awesome show with almost all the Disney princesses being represented, Cinderella (Paige’s favorite), Snow White, Ariel, Jasmin, Belle, Mulan, and Aurora - aka Sleeping Beauty (my favorite).

One of the major reasons that I don’t homeschool is because my kids want to [...]

For Tackle It Tuesday I am cleaning the shelves in my office area. Along one wall I have two built in desks (one holds my computer and one holds a TV) with shelves above each. They were getting pretty out of control so my tackle for this week was to clean them up so I can [...]

Okay…just kidding. I FEEL like I won the lottery though!
I moved back to Ohio from Arizona about six months ago. I was happy to move but there was a very bad part about my move too. I left my baby brother (4 years younger) behind in Arizona. I begged him to come but he would not leave. [...]
