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!

After taking a couple weeks off of our regular school schedule, I was looking forward to getting back to it today. It’s funny because it’s so easy to get out of our routine and then it’s hard to get back to it. Yet, both Lovebug and I do much better when we have . . . → Read More: Slow start returning to school

After getting the day’s worth of school done before 11:00 AM, Lovebug wanted to go out and enjoy the rain….and we could!! She grabbed her rain boots, rain jacket, and her umbrella. I think the umbrella was just for show though, because she opened it then promptly . . . → Read More: One of my favorite things about homeschooling…

Lovebug LOVES flashcards! She gets absolutely giddy with excitement over a new package. Take her ability to read and remember information, combine it with being a visual learner, and a box of flashcards are like an encyclopedia in a box!
The Target dollar spot was a treasure chest for us today. Flashcards, flashcards, . . . → Read More: Flashcards galore!
