What I’m Reading This Spring
I'll admit it. I'm not a reader. One of my goals for the new year is to read more. Instead of turning on Netflix when the kids are resting in the afternoon, I'm going to pull out a book and finish it. Yes, finish it. Not start it and 3 months later pick it back up like I have been doing. A couple of these books I've read before and the rest have been given to me recently. This is what I'm Reading This Spring. Have you read any of them? Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full: Grocery ...
Instant Pot Cinnamon Apples
I recently started really using our Instant Pot and now have a huge addiction. It's the easiest and quickest way to prepare dinner. When you have a family or are cooking for a crowd, this is the way to go! I recently tried an Instant Pot Cinnamon Apple recipe from The Pilgrim Life and absolutely fell in love. It's the best breakfast, dessert, or snack, and my kids can't get enough! Most recipes are just a few ingredients and take 30 min or less to cook. Yes, you heard that ...

2016 has been a great year. With the year coming to an end, I've got the planners out and goal setting worksheets printed to help me start thinking and prepping for 2017.

Character Pumpkins
My oldest recently told me that Fall was his favorite season because of the great weather and because of the character pumpkins we make each year. Our homeschool co-op has the kids create a pumpkin from their favorite book and share about it. That's where we got this idea, but we use these pumpkins all season long as decoration in our school room. It's pretty easy. All you do is have your kids pick a favorite book of theres and go find a pumpkin at your local store or pumpkin patch similar to ...
The Ultimate Guide to Planning a Vacation to Santa Rosa Beach {& lots of discount codes}
Fall time on 30A. It's a favorite for our family. Where the white crystal, powder-like sand meets the Emerald Coast. There's nothing quite like it. For us, it's become a fall tradition to visit Santa Rosa Beach because we love it so much. Santa Rosa Beach is by far our favorite place to visit on 30A. You don't get the business and crowded feel that Seaside and Rosemary Beach has. Santa Rosa is a laid back beach town with a family feel. There isn't any riffraff and you pretty much have ...
3 Reasons to Vacation on 30A & a ResortQuest Review
Every year, we look forward to these two weeks all year long. Taking a vacation on 30A has become a family favorite. Why?

The water & sand: The water is a crystal clear color and the sand is so soft, you're constantly running it through your toes. The powdery type sand is a perfect white! I don't know of any other ...
