Happy Monday everyone! Today we are super, super busy in our house because tomorrow is [drumroll] the first day that both of my older kids will officially be in school! This past week has been full of sleepovers, shopping and lots of prepping. Of course, I’m getting them ready for school but when I say…
How to Save During Back to School Shopping
It’s almost time, y’all! Tonight is Open House at our schools and we’ll get to meet my children’s teachers and learn all about the new school that my 5 year old is going to attend. Even though I have an older daughter, she is going into 8th grade so I feel like I’m experiencing those…
How to save big on your favorite books
I haven’t yet made the official announcement yet, but here it is: we’ve decided to enroll Colette in for real kindergarten. I was a bit [extremely] hesitant at first, but it’s actually been a lot of fun starting the process. Have you started back to school shopping yet? We’ve been looking for the right backpacks, lunchboxes– you know, all the right supplies.
Mostly Homemade Mondays – Week 139
Happy Monday everyone! And for our friends in the US, did you have a great Fourth of July? Our weekend was pretty magical, albeit busy. My oldest daughter is out of town with friends, but I got to spend a lot of time BBQing and lighting fireworks with these two amazing cuties: I’ve been kind…
Serving your community: donate produce to the needy in your area
Growing your own food is pretty satisfying, isn’t it? There are few things that give me more pride than sitting down to a meal that has been grown in my backyard. One thing that comes close is sharing the abundant food we are able to produce on our 1/3 acre of land in the city….

No matter what it is, here is your opportunity to show that initiative your gratitude and help them win a…
My Summer Bucket List
The other day I teased you. I’m so sorry, I left you hanging! I wrote a post about my ambassadorship with Goddess Garden Organics and all of the fun things that my family plans on getting done this summer, but I’ve yet to share my list. My goal for this summer (and for always) is…
Hands-on-Prints Books
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Hands-on-Prints books. I received books to facilitate my review. We’re halfway through May and just a few weeks away from school ending, but homeschool is on my mind more than ever as I watch all of my daughter’s friends enroll for the…
The Benefits of Mineral Sunscreen with GoddessGardenOrganics
This post is sponsored by Green Sisterhood but the opinion is of my own. After such a long, difficult winter it’s been amazing falling asleep with a fan blowing and the windows open, serenaded by the songs of insects; mornings are damp and dewy and birds greet us as early as we can rise to meet…
A Taste of the Future program
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Aspen Dental for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. How often do you go to the dentist? Last year more than 150 million Americans did not visit a dentist, either because they struggled to find care when they needed it or delayed it as…
