It's no secret that kids love getting things in the mail. I first heard of Wonder Crate over on Instagram and immediately looked into it for our boys. Wonder Crate is a subscription box that introduces kids to inspirational role models, sparks their curiosity and connects them to their own possibilities. Oh, and arrives at your doorstep with your child's name on the box. What's included in a Wonder Crate subscription? A Who Was book to introduce kids to brave, forward-thinking role ...
What I’m Cooking in March
At the end of every month, I spend time coming up with a meal plan for the next month's dinners. I sit down with my favorite cookbooks, Pinterest boards, and go to recipes to create a meal plan that will work for our family and the schedule the next month brings. It takes just a little bit of time, but it is so worth it! If you're like me, if you don't meal plan, you end up eating out more than you should. I attended Jolanthe's session at Teach Them Diligently a few years ago about meal ...
What We’re Reading in February
Every month, I have a list of things I'd like to read that month. In February, I have three books that I'm going to try to get through. I find that my eyes are bigger than my actual read time.

Simple Valentine’s Day Decor
Adding Valentine's Day decor to your home doesn't have to be complicated and it definitely doesn't have to cost a lot. Show the love by keeping it sweet and simple. The most I decorate for any holiday or season is obviously Christmas. However, I do change things up quite a bit in our home and I definitely bring out some festiveness each season. You don't need to add a lot of decor to make your home feel festive during whatever season it may be. For Valentine's Day, I do the following ...
How I’m Documenting Gratitude in 2019
We are well into the new year and I've been documenting gratitude in a new way now for 16 days. For the past three or four years I've kept a Gratitude Journal. I love finding something each day to be grateful for because it helps me focus on what I have in front of me. Every night before I go to bed, I write 1-3 things that I found beauty in or that I was thankful for that day. It's been wonderful to see the journal towards the end of the each year filled with blessings over the last 12 ...
