  I know this Is an unpopular opinion, but someone has to say it: I do not like the beach. Every summer, people start talking about "beach days" as if they've discovered eternal happiness. They'll post photos of crystal-blue water and write captions like *"Paradise found."* Meanwhile, I'm wondering if we visited the same place. First of all, the sand. Nobody warns you that sand is apparently a sentient life form whose sole purpose is to attach itself to everything you own. It's in your shoes. It's in your towel. It's in your car. It's in your lunch. Three months later, you'll find a handful of it in a jacket pocket and wonder if the beach has been slowly following you home. Then there's the sunblock situation. The process begins with carefully applying sunscreen to protect your skin. Five minutes later, sweat carries it directly into your eyes, where it transforms into a chemical weapon. Now you're stumbling toward the ocean h...

Here We Are—Our Country's 250th Birthday! When I think about our country, I automatically think about John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 (ESV) I'm always amazed by the people who defend our country, those who came before us and those who serve today. There is a special calling on the life of someone who is willing to lay down their life for ours. They serve people they don't know. People who may not care about them. People who don't believe in what they're fighting for. They wake up every day. They train. They condition. They remain disciplined. And for what? The possibility of laying down their lives for our country. The thought of laying down my life for someone honestly confuses me. I would lay down my life for my children. (Although, catch me on a bad day and I may feel differently! 😂) There are very few people I would actually lay down my life for. Some days, I don't even li...

Life has changed dramatically since my last post! First of all, my two youngest children started attending a local charter school. My third child, Sarah, graduated from that same school and is now heading off to college. How did that happen? I'm pretty sure she was in kindergarten about three weeks ago. My youngest, David, is now in 10th grade. Tenth grade! Apparently, time moves at warp speed once you become a parent. Oh, and did I mention that I work at the school now? Yep, I'm working full-time. Between being a parent and working at the school, I practically live there. At this point, they should probably just give me my own parking space and a cot. In my spare time—which seems to exist only in theory—I still love creating digital planners. I've just finished a monthly, weekly, and daily digital planner for 2026–2027, starting in July. I'm also hoping to create some matching stickers to offer for free here on the blog. Why free? Because I enjoy making them! Plus, if ...

 Here we are at the start of another year of homeschooling!  I’m so amazed at the Lords Mercy and Grace!  I’m also stunned at how quickly it’s going. Even though I try to slow things down and really take in each moment, it seems to be flying by.,  Sarah is in 9th grade and David is now in 6th grade.  This year I gave Sarah the choice of going into a local hybrid or private school. She decided to stay with homeschooling. (My heart was happy)  She is no longer competing in gymnastics, but is now busy with another love. Spiritual Twist Productions.  She loved gymnastics and her coaches were amazing but after breaking both her wrists doing “Yurchenko Drills”, the reality of the danger set it. She also had no time for other interests.  This Summer she did STP’s Summer Intensive and they performed “Acts a City Rising”. This was an amazing experience. This also kept us very busy.  David has continued with his Karate and is making improvements! He’s ...

 Hello Friends!! I know it’s been a long time since i’ve posted.  I moved over to another platform and it was a LOT of work and money!  I love to blog and share my thoughts but it was costing me more money to up keep that blog than it was worth.  I’m revamping this blog. I will be l posting direct links to planners, stickers, printables, etc.  I don’t care about a mailing list. I don’t care if people follow me. I’m doing this for fun!! ***Update on Life*** We’re still homeschooling. I have a 9th grader and a 6th grader.  For those who don’t remember, I also have two adult children that I also taught at home. They’re both out on their own, college, children etc.  We made it through Covid!!  Between kidney stones, Covid and Carpal tunnel surgery Praise the Lord! I’m still here.  We are currently using paper planners, but I still LOVE making monthly digital planners. My hope it to continue to make them to the glory of God!!  May everyone ha...

Where have I been?? That’s the million dollar question!!  Since the start of the quarantine, where I posted all the free digital planners, we’ve been busy!!  Many changes here in our home. God is GOOD!  The start of the quarantine really threw all of us. We all went from busy to NOTHING. Absolutely nothing! We came home from Sarah’s last gymnastics meet, and started quarantining. We did some work around the house. Switched up our bedrooms, turned our garage into a mini gym. After all, what do you do with two active kids during a quarantine?? TV, video games, taekwondo and gymnastics in our garage!!!  We were blessed that Sarah was able to get back to practicing with a new gymnastics team, at the end April. This new gym has been such a blessing. Sarah has grown so much as a gymnast.  David is at his Taekwondo studio and they’ve moved to a larger studio. Please continue to pray for small businesses. Many of them were hit hard and continue to struggle.  One bl...
