Toddlers can be such finicky eaters, can’t they? I am now enjoying my seventh toddler and while many things do get easier, navigating their picky food choices does not! This post is sponsored by Beech-Nut but all opinions are my own. I typically feed my babies and toddlers whatever we are eating as a family – with modifications, of course. In the past, I have shied away from “baby food” because of the questionable ingredients in some. But let’s be…

Food can warm up our bodies when it is brutally cold and bitter outside. Food is also a great way to bring people together for fellowship and community.

Since becoming a mother many years ago, it has been important to me that I leave some sort of legacy to my children. For a long time, I wasn’t sure what that meant to me. I had to grow in my role as a mother and even more in my relationship with God to understand what I wanted my legacy to be. While leaving a legacy is a multi-faceted concept, one thing I have loved doing is creating a “Legacy…
Summer is officially here in New England and we couldn’t be happier! Although we technically are year round homeschoolers, we do take a longer stretch off in the summer, and really look forward to it. We enjoy spending most of our days outside during the summer months and beyond. Because we live on the East Coast, there are so many things do do during the summer months that we otherwise can’t. We can visit our local splash pads and Dinosaur Place,…

She spent time with my oldest son and I in showing us the program and how it worked. My son was hooked on her statement of “all you need is this program and finish it in one year and then you do not need grammar for the rest of the high school…
