5 Things I'm Loving Right Now


Amazon links are affiliate links - thanks for supporting my writing with them!


1. These nice but not expensive colored pens.

I put them in my Walmart grocery pickup but they're also available from Amazon!


2. Halo Top peanut butter cup ice cream in a 4 pack at Costco.

3. Fresh mango - so good.

4. Traditional Medicinals Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat tea. I'm currently fighting an earache, lingering sore throat and cough, and congestion, and having this soothing tea (which I also love the taste of!) in my Yeti mug to sip is really soothing.

5. Magic in a Bottle arnica menthol lotion. I've been dealing with a sore neck this past week and this is such a lifesaver! Also, it's particularly awful having a sore neck and a cold. Sneezing has been excruciating!

So that's my current list!

What 5 things - or 1 - are you loving right now?

Birthday Manners for Children

I tried googling for something like this for my kids to read and couldn’t find it, so I wrote one. Feel free to take it and tweak it for your personal use with your kids. :) —————————— Birthday Manners When someone takes the time out of their day to come to your party, that is a gift. Time is valuable and they’re spending it on you. When people arrive, greet them cheerfully and say hi. If they say Happy Birthday, say “thank you!” When they leave, say, “thank you for coming!” It is important to be and act thankful for every single gift, even if you do not like it.  The giver spent time and money on you and it is rude to act disappointed or bored with a gift, no matter what it is.  Thank each person politely, with eye contact & with a smile as you open their gift.  When a gift is wrapped in a gift bag, take out all the tissue paper first, then the gift. This way the bag is clearly empty or not, and you don’t miss anything or look like you expected more by loo

Homeschool Kindergarten

Hi! Homeschool mom here, I’ve done homeschool kindergarten 4 times. 😊 I love it. Here are some thoughts on how to do kindergarten at home!  So for kindergarten you want to have one hour or less of sit down, formal lessons each week day. I fill that hour with the basics: reading, writing, and math. 20 minutes of a reading lesson, 20 minutes of math, 10-15 minutes on handwriting. All About Reading is a great reading curriculum. You can buy it used and skip the readers to save money. I like Zaner Bloser handwriting. I order my homeschool supplies from Rainbow Resources website.  In addition, I definitely recommend you do a daily read aloud time. During breakfast or lunch or afternoon art time, sit down and read out loud for 20 minutes or as long as they will listen! Children’s poems, nursery rhymes, picture books, even a chapter book that they can understand. This is also a great spot to add a gentle history curriculum (I like Story of the World), books about famous people or events, etc

10 Conversation Starters for Family Dinner

Family dinner is so important and so good for us - but sometimes bickering or lack of good conversations make it seem less enjoyable for everyone. Here are some ideas to get everybody talking and engaged! 1. If you could live in any book...what book would it be, and why? (Alternative: If you could live in any movie...what movie and why?) 2. What is your favorite memory? Or, what was your favorite thing this week (or today)? 3. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?and why? 4. If you wrote a book - where and when would the story take place? 5. If you were in the Great British Baking show - and you could bake whatever you wanted - what would you design to impress the judges? 6. What is your favorite song and why? Can you sing it for us? 7. If you could have any animal as a pet - what would you pick? 8. If you could have one superpower...what would you choose? And why? 9. If you could turn into any animal for a day - what would you pick? 10.
