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?

Morning Time Routine - Winter 2020

Morning time! We begin our Morning Time with singing The Lord's Prayer as our breakfast prayer. This  beautiful, simple tune  is an ancient one and I love that we are singing it daily and my children will carry it in their memories. Then, they begin eating and I begin reading! Here is our current version: Morning Time Liturgy The Lord’s Prayer (sung) (from Cantus Christi) (sheet music available here ) The Bible (we are using the Bible Reading Challenge plan so about 4-6 chapters a day. I start the audio and we all listen while I serve breakfast and the kids eat while I sip tea and watercolor.) The Christian Almanac Victor Journey through the Bible (if there’s something that ties into our reading) Life of Fred (we have been working through the series together!)  (Other books are rotated through as time allows - spelling, science, history, fun read aloud fiction, manners, etc!)  Psalm or Hymn from the Cantus Christi Then I send everyone to br...

5 Favorite YA Books from our Family

I'll never stop loving great older books, but I have to say that I am amazed by the creative, well written, and inventive newer books I'm enjoying now with my kids. Many of these recommendations come from Read Aloud Revival , one of my favorite podcasts/blogs - if you don't already follow Sarah Mackenzie and listen to her podcast , you're missing out! She also has a brand new book out that I cannot wait to get my hands on - The Read Aloud Family  - and I definitely recommend her book Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakeable Peace  as well. I read it last summer and it really was a recharging and refocusing read for me. 1. Edge of Extinction (2 book series) This is a great first dystopia for kids. I read these and loved them and was so excited to hand them to my 9 year old - and I was not disappointed! He devoured them and we had great discussions about the story and characters. Dinosaurs roam the earth again, and you have to move quickly...
