Now that the holiday gift making frenzy is over I’m making things for my kiddos. My youngest picked out the colors she wanted for her unicorn lovie and hasn’t put it down since I gave it to her. It’s even replaced her usual tiny fox that she sleeps with 💕

This weeks project was some 100% cotton face scrub This weeks project was some 100% cotton face scrubbies for my tween daughter. I had made some others in a different pattern but this pattern was so much easier and came out really cute! 

In getting ready to post this with a link to the pattern creator I realized that the talented woman who made this pattern has since passed away. Actually tomorrow is the one year anniversary of her passing. Praying for her family and loved ones this week 💕🙏🏼

💕 The Smoky Mountain Black Bear 💕 One of the 💕 The Smoky Mountain Black Bear 💕 One of the first crochet toys that I made! I remember when I use to work outside the home that I would occasionally see a black bear wander past my office window. That never got old! So when I saw this pattern I new I had to make one! I ended up making closer to 10 of them 🤦🏻‍♀️😜

Now that all the gifts have been sent and opened I Now that all the gifts have been sent and opened I can now start posting a few of the items I’ve made over the past few months! 
I made two of these bags for family. This one in green and one in gray. I love how they turned out! I realized we’ll into the pattern that I made a mistake that caused the rows to go diagonally rather than vertically. I actually think it’s a fun variation so I kept it that way.

I am making a few of these as gifts this year for a few little ones I know and love!! 

It seems every Fall as we get closer to the vendor markets we do each year I decide to learn a new skill. This year it was crochet! 

I picked up a crochet hook for the first time in October and I think I’m obsessed! 

I’m  taking pics of all the other items I made and will post them after Christmas because they are all being sent off tomorrow as gifts!

It’s amazing what kids can understand if we give It’s amazing what kids can understand if we give them the opportunity. Tackling Shakespeare with a 6 year old! 

And guess what… he understood it! We use a children’s retelling and I drew pictures of the characters. When he gave his narrations he pointed to the characters as he told me back the story!

Welcome!

I'm LJ

I am the wife of an amazing hubby that works hard to provide for our family so that I can stay home and raise our children. I am also a homeschooling mother of three sweet kiddos! I have a 10 year old girl who is in fourth grade, and a 5 year old girl, and a 6 year old boy that are doing Kindergarten together. 

I am on my fifth year as a stay-at-home homeschooling mom. I used to tell people I retired but my husband kept reminding me that I am definitely still working a job! Now I like to tell people I am a home educator. Sounds so much better! 

When we began to consider homeschooling our oldest I had a lot of friends around me at the time who were already homeschooling their kids. If it were not for their encouragement and their patience as I asked LOTS of questions, I don’t think I would have had the courage to make the leap into homeschooling. 

My hope is that I can be that encouragement to you now. That is the heart behind starting this blog. To be that person in your corner encouraging you to start this amazing journey. To share tips, curriculum, or resources that have helped me along the way. Or even to just encourage you to keep going on the days that are hard, because sometimes it is hard. 

But don’t let the hard days scare you off!! We all remember those sleepless nights with newborns, but we still look back on that time and  remember all the wonderful things about that season of our lives. It’s the same with homeschooling. There will be days that challenge us and stretch us, but one day you will look back and be thankful for all the sweet, fun, joy-filled moments that went by in a flash. 

I’d love to hear any thoughts or questions you have so please reach out!! I’d love to hear what’s on your heart as I share with you what’s on mine.
