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.

DIY Chippy White Antique Headboard
Chippy white paint. I just love to see things with chippy paint in a home. We've had a big, heavy, 4 poster wooden bed in our room for almost 6 years. It's a beautiful bed but I've never been too happy with the way it looks in our master bedroom. Last week, we finally took the bed down because it was making the room feel so cramped and dark. I would walk in our master bedroom and immediately would want to rearrange or get rid of things because it looked too dark and crowded. We figured it was ...

22 Things to Keep Your Preschooler Busy While Teaching the Older Ones
The question we hear the most when people hear that we homeschool our kids is, "What do you do to keep your preschooler busy while teaching the older ones?" The answer? We use a lot of different things, and each day is something different. I try to keep it fun and different to where they don't get bored with the same activity. I have a schedule (because of course, that is what list-makers like myself do). For example: Monday's they can watch a preschool show (Super Why, Word World, Sid the ...
