Attn: Giveaway at the bottom of this post It's what is on our mind this time of year... back to school, or back to homeschool... whatever the case may be. We start thinking about scheduling, curriculum, activities, new Fall clothes, ways to stay on budget, and much more. It is also the time of year when I get lots of school related gear to review as a blogger. Many products and pitches don't make the cut but others I find really helpful and the above are some of the winners I spotted this … [Read more...]
6 Natural Ways to Beat Stress
I walk a fine line on this blog. I would like to say I brazenly talk about all the difficult stuff I might face as a mom but really I don't.

Sadly more and more of these blogs might as well hang a "For Sale" sign on the front page because clearly they are being compiled in PR lists for moms who will sell a favorable opinion to the highest … [Read more...]
Free Range Kids Gone Wrong
I have been reading TONS lately about free range kids. It is a book and a concept that seems to picking up momentum.
