It's safe to say I'm a bag person. Totes, cross body bags, you name it, I love it. I have been looking for a great backpack for a while, and I think I found it. I was introduced to Just Porter through a friend. I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous design of these bags. Little did I know, they gave back too! (and if you know me, this is a huge plus) “For each bag purchased, Just Porter manufactures a give bag and fills it with school supplies then gives it to a child in need. But, Just ...

Our Homeschool Room
With homeschooling our kids, we get lots of questions. The most common question we get is "Where do you all do school?" When we first started, we did school at the kitchen table. That worked ok for a while, but I found myself seeing things in the kitchen and living room that needed to be done. Like the laundry or dishes. I wasn't able to focus solely on our oldest who was doing school. Then, we moved the school stuff to the bonus room. We use our bonus room as a playroom/tv room, and put our ...
Peter Island Resort & Spa Review
I'm sitting in the airport in Tortolla, BVI reminiscing on our week. What a week! We love traveling and we have found a new favorite place. Peter Island Resort & Spa is somewhere where we will definitely be back! When I first heard that it was a private island, it sounded oh so luxurious. The weeks got closer to us leaving for our trip and I will be honest, I got a little nervous on what we were going to do for a full week on a private island. Usually when we travel, we like to go and do. ...
What I’m Packing for Peter Island
We love traveling. Whether it's to the mountains or the beaches, we're always up for a trip and a new adventure. This time, we're headed to Peter Island for a work trip (and I'm tagging along). We've traveled all over the Caribbean but have never been to the private island, Peter Island. We're so excited to explore and see how it compares to the other islands. Have you been to the Caribbean? If so, where? If you haven't made it there yet, what is your #1 island you'd like to visit? Packing ...
Our 2015/2016 Homeschool Curriculum Choice
School is back in session here at Tucker Academy and it feels so good. While we do love a good summer break, there's something so re-freshing about being back in routine and opening up new school books. Last year was our best year. I LOVED (and the kids did too) the homeschool curriculum we chose and we all truly believe that choosing the right curriculum for your family is one of the most important things when it comes to homeschooling. If you are using a curriculum that you or the child ...

Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show Review
Family, Food, Feudin’ and Fun- that’s the theme of The Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show. We love going to dinner show's in Pigeon Forge and had never been to Hatfield and McCoy's, so we decided to try it out on our most recent trip. The Venue The actual location and venue was wonderful! There are some shows that are "almost there" as far as decorating and atmosphere goes. But Hatfield & McCoy has it down. You walk in through the front doors and you immediatly are in the middle of the feud. ...
