I have been quite unsuccessful with reading this year. I had so much hope at the beginning of the new year and now here it is, March, and I have not finished a single book. It is sad and pathetic. I have many books on my nightstand, but no time to read them. Wait. Hold… Read More
A new year means a new opportunity to live a life full of healthy choices. It may seem like the obvious path for a New Year’s resolution, but it should definitely be on everyone’s top to do list.

Last year I wrote the most meaningful and heartfelt post about my husband. It is one of my most favorites and I honestly cannot top the things I wrote about him. He is still my everything and I still thank God every day for the man and father he is to our children. In case… Read More
Those that know me, know that this past year was our first year of homeschooling. It was a scary decision but turns out the most rewarding decision that we have ever made. So it is always nice to find shops that promote homeschooling and the Lucky Lotus is one of those shops! I am absolutely… Read More
It’s the first Friday of June. June? How did we get here? As time officially begins to whirl out of control, I am quickly feeling behind for the summer festivities. Summer around here is so short lived, that we try are hardest to be outside as much as possible. It is always my goal to… Read More
