We have been in a homeschool funk lately, so we decided to do something a little different and focus on the Middle Ages for history. Luckily there are a ton of fun ideas for activities/crafts inspired by the Middle Ages on Pinterest so that made lesson planning a breeze...and 100% free, once I found a… Continue reading Learning with Pinterest – Middle Ages

Family Games That We Love
We love to play games in our family so I thought I would create a list of some of our very favorite ones to share with you. About five years ago, we started the tradition of opening a brand new family game on Christmas Eve. After our Christmas Eve dinner, we all gather around the… Continue reading Family Games That We Love
Frugal Things
1. DIY costumes This past week, my children took part in a local theatre's production of A Charlie Brown Christmas. During the Q & A session following a school showing, an audience member asked how each cast member found their costumes and the director explained that a lot of the costumes (and props) were either… Continue reading Frugal Things
Goal Updates for Week 47
1. Walk at least 500 miles this year (468 down and 32 to go) With only five more weeks left in the year, I am doing great on my mileage so far (The fact that I only walked 6 miles last week didn't really sabotage my numbers too badly! It was a crazy week). 2.… Continue reading Goal Updates for Week 47

1. Kindle My son's kindle had been limping along for the past few months, but I knew that because the holiday season was fast approaching, Amazon would reduce their prices soon...and they did. Luckily this coincided with his November 10th birthday, so he is now the recipient of a non-cracked, glitch-free device. **I made sure… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. I got another Kohls coupon, so you know what that means... Last week, I received a coupon in the mail from Kohls for $5 off any purchase. So once again, I headed into Kohls to pick out a free item. This time I chose to get a new towel (it was actually the size… Continue reading Frugal Things
Goal Updates for Week 41
1. Walk at least 500 miles this year (415 down and 85 to go) Over the past two weeks, I completed twenty more miles which brings my "to go" miles down to under 100! That feels nice:) 2. Read two nonfiction or classic books each month I love L.M. Montgomery books like the Anne of… Continue reading Goal Updates for Week 41
Spicy Chicken Stew (Low carb)
I love soups of all kinds, but sadly most of my favorites are not anywhere close to being low carb. To remedy this I decided to start adapting my old soup recipes into more low carb-friendly meals. The first one I tried out is a spin on the classic spicy chicken stew that is served… Continue reading Spicy Chicken Stew (Low carb)
Our Favorite Fall Books
Since the temperatures in Northern Alabama have finally started to cool off, our family has begun to prepare for our fall traditions. In our house that of course means heading to the library to pick up loads of books on any and every fall-type thing. I get requests for new book ideas all the time,… Continue reading Our Favorite Fall Books
