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!

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

It’s hard when we change the plans on our kiddos sometimes, isn’t it? It’s funny that my daughter can be so easy going about some things, and so rigid about others. She’s been completely fine with the foster kids coming and going in our home. She’s ok that we don’t know which state we are moving . . . → Read More: Learning to adapt when plans change

Lovebug and I had to run an errand today and we were singing songs as we drove around. We ended up singing “She’ll be coming ‘round the mountain when she comes”, and then we made up our own version for Daddy!! It’s sung to the same tune as the original.

Tuesday was “Letter B” day here in school! After getting our other subjects done, we took science on the go, and headed to the local nature and science museum to watch the IMAX version of “Bugs!

This past weekend, Lovebug and I went to a local city’s Christmas on the Square! It was so much fun! The entire street was decorated with beautiful lights, programmed to the music (click here for video).

There is a local hardware store that has a post office located in the back of the store. It comes in very handy this time of year when the line at the regular P.O is out the door and down the street. I would think that every local knows about this little secret, yet of all . . . → Read More: Elliott’s Hardware

Today at the park I asked Lovebug, “Do you know you’re beautiful?”.
She replied, “Yes. Daddy told me.”
I couldn’t ask for more.
I am so blessed to be married to a man that understands the importance of a daughter feeling loved by her daddy!
And that confidence leads to her continuing to try new things…like this really steep (fast) . . . → Read More: I couldn’t ask for more

Here are some highlights!
