We live the expat or a more trendy term that I like to use, we are “global nomads”. Our heart is divided into hundreds of pieces throughout the world.  We travel to and fro from our two homes (home is where the heart is, right) in the U.S. and in South America.  The fact that my kids […]

We live high up in the mountains so when we go camping we have to take all of our fire starting kindling “ammo” to get our fire going.  I discovered this amazing time saving camping hack for starting your campfire, fire bombs. Note, as I mentioned before we use more than one type of fire […]

Your personalities clash. You’re going to regret it. You’ll drive each other nuts. Those were the thoughts that were holding me back from moving forward with homeschooling.  I knew it was the best thing for my son, but I was afraid.  This haunting thought–our relationship will be ruined– kept me from moving forward. Our personalities are very […]

If you haven’t gone biking as a family, I highly recommend it.  After our second child was born we decided to become a biking family! For Mother’s day my husband bought me a bike and we invested in a bike trailer since our little ones were still too young to keep up with us.  Since […]

This Father’s Day Card {Free Printable} turned out really great!  The kids gave it to their daddy the other day because inside it explained his gift that we put together for him, a bike tour through the mountains and it ends in natural thermal pools at the bottom of the mountain, which he is on […]

Don’t just be the memory maker but be in their memories.  This is something that has been playing over and over in my head since the beginning of the year.  But I had no idea how hard it is for me to just play. Put the scrapbooks down. Put the camera down. Put your phone away. […]

There are so many things I want my kids to know that I feel are important in preparing them for being good citizens in our society.  Here are three things from our Mom’s Library link up from last week, that stood out to me as “must know skills” that kids should learn by the age […]

Dear Mom, The other day, I was sitting in the small crowded room for our three year olds school presentation, when he came out onto the stage, I noticed he was looking for me.  He wanted to know if I was there.  In his own little three year old way he wanted to know if […]

Mother’s are the best! At least mine is and for the most part my kids think I’m pretty cool (or at least that’s what I tell myself). I was at the library the other day and I ran across a group of school kids who were working on a Mother’s day project that had them […]

If my husband wasn’t the principal at the school: My children would always be late, not on purpose. Because for the life of me I can’t manage to get out of the house in time when we only live 5 minutes away from the school. On Thanksgiving day, when we DO have a school day they […]

I walked into this building with huge stone walls, gates and then more gates. I had absolutely no idea what I was about to encounter. I had no idea that I would be left speechless, literally. I tried to smile but it was hard because inside I was fighting: My hatred of men–these thieves in […]
