    My stomach just started growling which reminded me I haven’t posted a weekly menu for this week. I’m trying to re-establish a rhythm on one of the busiest weeks of the year for our family. Our one and only homeschooler is starting dual—enrollment classes tomorrow at the local college where his dad teaches! I’ve wanted…

    I remember a time when free summer movies at the theatre were actually free instead of $1. But, hey, that’s still pretty good and a really fun way to stay cool. Today, my mom and I went to watch the movie IF for only a couple of dollars. Even though that movie came out last…

    I’m looking forward to an easy week repurposing leftovers for dinner and focusing on brunch ideas each day and poetry tea time (a homeschool favorite) at least one afternoon. Some of my best thinking and praying is done in the kitchen so if you could use some prayer, please let me know 🙂 Tuesday: salsa…

    This is the time of year where everything comes to a close. I have a real love/hate relationship with it because the older I get the more extroverted it seems I become. My PE program, my Bible Study program, my youth group all come to a close, and I am left at home. There’s nothing…

    I unashamedly enjoy going to farmer’s markets and grocery stores, cooking at all hours of the day and night, trying new recipes, and making up my own. I also thrive on being resourceful. So when a friend from church gave us some butternut squashes from their community garden I couldn’t wait to come home and…

    I’ve thought about how much I miss blogging every week, but was just too busy living life, you know? But recently several of our regularly scheduled programming came to an end and I’m truly thankful to be back in the blogger’s seat. Some highlights the past few months have been (in no particular order): DJ…

    The thing about homeschooling is that when it comes to spring break there’s college spring break, our local county spring break, and our Bible study spring break. Sooooo we kind of end up sharing them all like one big happy family. Last week we spent a few days walking thousands of steps at Universal Studios,…

    This week is my darling husband’s birthday. He is the vegetarian in the family so after church Sunday we went to an entirely vegan restaurant called Planta. Everything we tasted from sushi to pizza to reuben sandwiches was plant based and delicious. We can’t wait to go back! DJ’s epic bday party is Saturday and…

    This past Tuesday, February 11, was my birthday. If you couldn’t already tell by the title I turned 16-years-old. Age is just a number, so I don’t feel that different right off the bat, but I’m excited for this coming year. I have goals to achieve and things to do. One question I’ve been asked…
