The decision to homeschool can feel like a mammoth resolution. Believe me, I know. I am not so far removed to forget, but looking back on our homeschool journey I can hardly believe we are nearing our seventh year! How is this possible? I don’t know, but I do know this. This has been one of THE BEST decisions I have ever made.

Lemonade is one of my favorite childhood refreshments other than Sunny Delight. (It was an addiction.) Anticipating this summer, we thought it fun to create printable play props + signs for an easy but playfully coordinated lemonade stand party.

Gardening is such an experience of the mind, heart, and senses, and I am here to encourage you that there are big and small ways to teach your children through the experience of a garden project.  We have accomplished this in the simplest of forms from seedlings in Ziploc baggies + baby sprouts, to 1/2 our entire yard converted to garden space.

Sweet gatherings with little hands + hearts on an occasion set aside for focusing on the love of one another is something I can assuredly appreciate. In fact, I love it, because life is sweet and those we love are worth celebrating - on more than one occasion.
