About Me I'm Stacy - a disciple of Christ, an Army wife, and a homeschooling mom to our 7 year old daughter. I spend my days doing fun science projects, going on field trips, cooking gluten-free meals, taking photos, reading, blogging & managing the home. I'm constantly behind on scrapbooking and want to learn how to crochet more than scarves, but there are only so many hours in the day.
I believe that shoes should always be optional, life is better at the beach, and chocolate is a necessary food group!

Back in November, we took advantage of an online Black Friday special and bought a trampoline for the backyard. Unfortunately, for the last 2 months it has been sitting in the box in our storage closet.
First we had to wait until Daddy returned from his deployment right before Christmas.

Several months ago, Lovebug came to me with a joke she had written and wanted to submit to Highlights, a magazine for children.
We mailed it off and then today, almost 10 months later, we received this in the mail:
Sure enough, on page 38, her joke was published! Look at #7!
So proud of my girl!

Yesterday I had a long list of errands to run. I had been saving up several random errands that all took me to the same part of town so I could knock them all out in one swoop. I was planning to do them the day before, but then the truck window threw a wrench in . . . → Read More: Field Trip Friday – puppies, friends & frozen yogurt

Remember when school used to start back the day after Labor Day? That’s what we did this year! As of yesterday, I am officially the Mommy of a 1st grader.
Wow! It seems like only yesterday this was my little Lovebug.
I am so blessed to be able to homeschool her, so I didn’t have to shed too . . . → Read More: First Day of First Grade!

Lovebug and I continued our Mommy-Daughter weekend by spending Labor Day doing absolutely nothing except having fun. I soaked up every minute I had with my little girl because the next day we were starting school and I wanted to enjoy my Kindergartener as long as I could!
Here is a little glimpse into our day, . . . → Read More: Last day with a Kindergartener

A couple of weeks ago, Lovebug attended a “Science & Detective Camp” at a local children’s museum. I had come across an ad for it in a local publication and I knew it would be perfect for her! She’s always been interested in detectives, spies, mysteries, and similar adventures. This was a half-day camp for 5 . . . → Read More: Science Detective Camp

Lovebug and I had a great day! We started the day with breakfast, and then some game time. I wanted some one-on-one time with her because I knew I would be spending a lot of time unpacking today and she wouldn’t get as much of my focused attention.
First we played “I Can Do That!”. It’s . . . → Read More: I cried over her misspelled words

We had a really rough time during school yesterday morning. Lovebug had a serious meltdown! We were working on schoolwork this morning, and she mentioned (nicely) that she didn’t want to do something we were working on. I asked her (nicely) “Why don’t you want to do that?”, and she lost it. She started crying and . . . → Read More: A very out-of-sync morning!

I recently let an old domain where I hosted my old blog expire, so I was going through some old posts and reminiscing. When I started this blog, I moved over some old posts from that blog. I realized when I was going back through my old posts that I must have gotten distracted because I . . . → Read More: Where was I?
