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...

I can hardly believe that Summer is almost over. It seems like this has been the longest year but the shortest Summer. This quarantine had my schedule all turned around and I haven’t blogged since I posted the free student planners back in March. It feels good to be back!  What’s been going on? Well, like most, we’ve been home, socially distancing, and trying to stay as healthy as possible. Going a bit crazy at times but our community pool opened up and that was a blessing.  Sarah switched gyms and was back practicing by the end of April. David continued to do his Taekwondon classes via Zoom. He’s back at the gym now and getting ready to practice 3-4 days a week. His 1st competition was cancelled and we’re not sure when he will officially start competing now. Sarah has quite a few competitions scheduled for this coming year but we will have to see what happens. She will be competing level 5 and is VERY Excited.  To celebrate her birthday , I’m offering 2 digital planners....

I wasn’t going to post these until later in the year, But with the large amounts of parents now thrust into the world of homeschooling, I decided to post it now.  First... Welcome to home teaching. We all start teaching our children from the moment their born. We teach them how to eat, how to communicate, how to walk. It simply doesn’t stop once they enter the school system.  Having to teach them math, reading, history... seems to scare all of us.  Here Is a secret to teaching... Curriculum. We all use a curriculum... to some extent. Teachers use curriculums. Now, the curriculums shouldn’t trap you....thats the difference between homeschooling and conventional schooling. The teachers have to adhere to standards and topics. At home, if we’re learning about something and my child is interested in one aspect of it, we can pause and dig deeper. For example, my daughter loves science and loved learning about elements. So we paused, memorized all the eleme...
