This week my five kids returned to school. I expected it could be at least slightly chaotic as back to school week can be under the best circumstances. In fact it was peaceful. Our school district gave 4 choices for school this year. Many people criticized me for sharing these with my kids and askingContinue reading “Back to School 📚✏️🚌”

I homeschooled my five kids for 12 years until in 2016 my oldest decided to attend public school entering 6th grade middle school. Homeschooling is so great. It was actually my once husband who proposed the idea when my oldest turned 3 and I was researching preschools. I learned all I could, got involved inContinue reading “School in the Time of COVID”

I write about a wide variety of subjects. You should know this one will be political in nature so if you aren’t interested in a reasonable presentation of facts on such a topic this is your notice so you may move on.

(As a conscious eater I also believe animals have their own inherent butContinue reading “ALL Lives Matter”

Full disclosure. Today is my birthday. 29 again! So as birthdays can cause us to do I began the day reflecting. The fact is I spent 20 years living peaceably in Colorado. Then I moved to this state called Florida and all hell broke loose…That’s one version. But upon closer examination it was revealed toContinue reading “Reflections”

Even if our life is already pretty great, every day we need to consider what could be improved. Little things…moving something around to provide more convenience in the home….big things…a job or relationship change? Increasing happiness, love. And always, living at our potential. 🌿

I have been thinking about family situations where everyone at home all together right now is not as happy as it appears on Facebook. I know. I have been there. If this resonates with you, I am thinking of you and you are not alone. You are not the only one who has been inContinue reading “Encouragement”
