Kids Change Everything

Then & Now: Kids Change Everything

Since having kids, I cry more, laugh more, deal with anger more, and love more than I ever previously have. Our little bundles of joy – and energy – really do change everything.  They’re supposed to!

What do I do with my toddler while I'm homeschooling?

My Toddler Has Stopped Napping!

My toddler has stopped napping. — Allow me to repeat myself.  Very dramatically. — My toddler has stopped napping. [Insert theme music from “Jaws” right about now.] Chilling words, I know.  A napless toddler can ruffle the feathers of even the most poised and put-together Mama Hen. And for Mama Hens out there who homeschool, […] Read more…

Hospitality - everyone sitting around the dinner table

On Hospitality: Make It Fun!

For the longest time, the thought of hosting dinners made me sweat a little. My biggest fear was that someone would leave our home unsatisfied…with the food, with the look of my home, with me.
