It’s that time of year when I like to take stock of what my kids will need, in terms of clothing, for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. What winter boot sizes will we need this year? Does my child have enough pants that fit?

I happily signed my oldest up for preschool and she attended three days in March of 2020 before you know what occurred and everything shut down.

Fast forward to August of 2021 and I have an entire year of homeschool preschool under my belt as I prepare to homeschool preschool our second daughter. Read below to find out why I am still homeschooling, the curriculum I recommend, and a list of easy homeschool supplies.
You have a dilemma. Either you are a parent going to a holiday party and you want to make sure your children have a good time but are still well-behaved.

I typically don’t enjoy crafts or making any type of home decor but there are a few instances when I will make the attempt. First, when I can’t find exactly what I want. Secondly, when I can’t find what I want for the price I want (cheap!!).

Here are instructions for how to make an easy floral hoop wreath.
I love to host parties. I love to host parties for selfish reasons; all the guests come to me and I can drink as much as I want since I don’t need to drive afterward. Also, I get to pick the food to serve that I enjoy eating in case there are leftovers. Lastly, planning is my forte. Recently, I threw my sister’s bridal shower and thought I would pass along some suggestions for planning a bridal shower without spending a lot of money.
