Sharing a few of my favorites from Thanksgiving week. I have so much to be thankful for, but I’m especially thankful for this time with my kids (even on the hard days). ❤️

We really enjoyed diving deeper into the story of Thanksgiving last week with . While some of our activities didn’t turn out…*ahem* the clay pot 🙈, we had so much fun with this guide. Some of our favorite activities were making Johnnycakes and Thanksgiving story bracelets. It was the perfect way spend way to spend Thanksgiving week. 🦃

This is SIX. ✨ We had the best (and busiest 🤪) weekend celebrating our Ninja Turtle loving boy. Rhett is my sweet and thoughtful soul. He’s my bug + battery expert, nature lover, joke telling, karate kid. He brings so much happiness to our lives and makes us laugh everyday. I hate how fast he’s growing, but I have loved watching him become who he is today. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day to the best boy dad around! We love you and are so thankful for all that you do. ❤️

Kindergarten Curriculum Plans ✏️📚

This will be our first full year of homeschooling and to say we’re excited for this new adventure is an understatement!

One of the best (and sometimes the hardest) parts of homeschooling is choosing curriculum. I say hard, because there are SO many to choose from and it can be a tough decision to make. 🙈

This is what we will be using for Kindergarten next year. 👇

Morning Menu:

Nature Study/Science: We’ll be using a combination of Slow Down + Slow Down Kindergarten from .

Geography: Me on the Map from

Math + Language Arts: Math K + Language Arts K

✨Kindergarten here we come! ✨

I can’t believe we have a preschool graduate (swipe to see him on his first day 🥺).

Today was exciting and bittersweet, as not only are we saying goodbye to Preschool, but also to school in general.

Next year we’ll be embarking on our homeschool journey and I’m so excited that I get the opportunity to teach again (this time as mom). ❤️We’re all looking forward to starting this new adventure and I can’t wait to soak up this time with my boys.

Spring break, you were good to us. ☀️💕

New (and first post) on the blog: Stocking Stuffers for Young Learners! 🎄✏️✨

While I’m not doing full gift guides this year, I wanted to create a list with a few ideas for stocking stuffers (educational ones of course 👩‍🏫). These are all products we’ve used, love, and would be perfect for young learners/young kids!

Send this guide to family, friends, or use it to find gifts for your own little ones!

All of these products are linked in my blog post in my bio. ✨

Happy shopping + Happy holidays! 🎄

This is FIVE. 🖐

I cannot believe it’s been 5 years since this sweet boy made me a mama. Rhett, you are the sweetest soul. You go out of your way to help others and to make others laugh, you’re the best big brother, and you’ve taught me that bugs aren’t so bad. I love how you love to learn and how you’re always trying to figure out how things work. Happy birthday, bubba. We love you to moon and back. 🌙✨

Today both of my boys are at school and I’m just taking in the mess and memories that we’ve been making.

I realized I never shared why we chose to do a hybrid (part-time preschool/homeschool) schedule this year.

As much as I wanted to do full time homeschool this year, I just needed time for those things we can’t normally do without having a support system here.

Time for me to go to appointments.
Time for me to run errands.
Time for me.

Do I love having a few mornings to myself? Absolutely. Do I love hybrid schooling? Honestly, no. 🙃

While it may seem like the perfect combination of schooling, it just doesn’t work well for us. Mainly because the transitions between home and school days are extremely difficult for my ADHD child. We’re trying to stick out and see if it improves (it’s been hard), but if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that….

What you may think will be great for your kids because it’s great for other families, may be the opposite. Whether you want your kids to do public school, private school, hybrid school, or homeschool….sometimes it takes some trial and error to figure out what’s right for both them and you.

Will we be doing hybrid school next year? Most likely not. But I’m thankful for this experience so we could figure out what works best for us. ❤️

First day of Pre-K! ✨

Even though he’s only going 3 days a week, my heart hurt a little at drop-off this morning. 😫 There’s something about seeing your baby go to school that makes them seem so grown up. Swipe to see how much a kid can grow in a year. I’m not okay. 🥺
