Believe me, I've tried). Our kids still have more clothes than I'd like, my closet still isn't paired down as much as I'd like, and my husband's office, … Continue reading What Makes You Happy? Do That.

I had a mom tell me the other day that I have it all figured out. I had to laugh because she couldn't be further from the truth. As moms, especially homeschooling moms, no matter if you're new or seasoned, we're all still trying to get it right. The only thing I can say is … Continue reading No More To-Do Lists

The More of Less, & less & less &

March 30, 20162 Comments

Call it serendipity. Call it divine timing. Call it whatever you will. When a small, blue book called "The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own" showed up in my mailbox I couldn't wait to devour its pages. Why? Because it's spring and we're naturally purging already and continuing our … Continue reading The More of Less, & less & less &

Happiness in Homeschooling

March 16, 2016May 19, 2017Leave a comment

As the sun descended behind the mountains, I drove alone toward a quant downtown pub, applying lipstick at red lights and trying to remember how long it's been since I'd seen my girlfriends – all fellow mamas I've known since our firstborns were babies. But this mom's night was different. I knew in my gut although this was "my time" to … Continue reading Happiness in Homeschooling

Top 8 Unschooling Myths

January 23, 2016January 23, 20163 Comments

We're Christian Unschoolers so we often get strange looks when asked which homeschool "style" we tend to use. Well, we use many of of them. We use none of them. It kind of depends on the day! So I thought I'd set out and (instead of reinvent the wheel), share a collection of my favorite eight … Continue reading Top 8 Unschooling Myths

⭐️Thankful to @broken.to.brave donors 🙌 & @expeditionxoffroad for the opportunity to connect w/the Orphanage Cristo Por Su Mundo where we were able to donate 100 books to their library during our baja desert run. 🌵💛 Such an amazing experience —so much so we have a goal to continue supporting their literary needs! 🤙🏻💜💜💜 Also thankful for the many, many folks behind the scenes from our chase car, to the lead drivers to the mechanics, and especially our tribe of new friends who made this a trip of a lifetime. ✊🏻⭐️ #baja #expeditionxoffroad #expeditionbaja . . . . . #brokentobrave #nonprofit #givehope #childrensbooks #kidlit #svcoffroad #literacymatters #mexico #bookstagram #liveauthentic #adventurethatislife #travelgram #bookish #sohappy

Hey there 👋 Just killin’ time while @_kwiley heads up to @officialsvc to pick up the truck so we can head down to #Baja w/ @expeditionxoffroad (I’m trying not to watch mindless t.v.!) - so I figured why not let this also be my intro to the lovely ⭐️ #wildandfreeconf ⭐️ mamas...🖤❤️🖤🙌 I couldn’t make it to the conference b/c of this trip. While I’m torn, spending time with my best friend on a trip of a lifetime with an amazing crew of folks is long overdue. (And we get to spread @broken.to.brave booklove to lots of kids in Baja thanks to several donors!🙏🏻 😘) . Just know I’m there with you all in my ❤️—God made us (and our #homeschool families) so unique and it’s just awesome to witness and be a part of two vastly different communities this day in age — friends, I love and miss you guys... and maybe I’ll see you at the next one! @wildandfree.co @jenniferpepito @wander_wild_tribe @stazilightly @lpmoreland @reaberg @simplelittleamy @sarahsatrom @paulacagg I know I’m missing some of you... hope you all have a blast! 💜😘⭐️ . . . #wildandfreemama #momlife #expeditionoffroad #offroading #liveauthentic #travelgram #momlifeisthebestlife #sandiego #homeschoolmom #mompreneur #adventurethatislife #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #lovemylife #oregonian #svcoffroad #expeditionoffroad #wildandfreefrisco #expeditionbaja
