Holiday Time is Near! This new TREND is about to POP!
First, I went back to my roots! Literally! I am liking it, and will probably make being a brunette permanent. I used a mix of mocha and copper #Klenditioner semiperm #hairdye (will link under our Fancy Friday, pretending we are in The #Bahamas pic!) Anyway!! It has been several hot minutes! Well, now they are cold. I am not a fan of the cold. This year, realizing I don't know if I can handle the cold in# COVID, since I can barely handle the cold on its own, I got EXTRA. T

Sharing the Load
Life (mainly #2020 ) is full of up and downs, ammmmiiiiriiight? This past week had a few downs for me. 1. The #debate. I refuse to say more about this. We have hit a new low. Pray for us. 2. #Dental work. I have had dentist #anxiety from an early age. It is back. Now it is double because I had to enter what looked like an Ebola isolation room twice this week, with people sticking their nasty #COVID hands from what felt like from my mouth all the way down to my damn toes.

Nature is chasing me and Homeschool Update!
I think we may have discussed my love for #dancing. I have #danced since I could breathe. However, I have never danced so hard that I murdered a #bee until yesterday. Here is the living...err...not so living, proof. Sorry, guy. Backstory was it was a gloomy day, and I had kind of low energy, which is odd for me. I went outside for lunch, and the sun started to peek through the clouds, and I put on some #upbeatmusic to try to shake me out of my eyore life. It worked! I

The BEST Organizer for Your Home and Create Your Own Math Manipulatives
This is the best supply #organizationsolution EVER. Seriously, I have had many because I am an #organized freak, and this tops them all. I wish I had this for my own business stuff, #makeup, #donuts, whatever. These could have so many uses, but they are so perfect for #homeschool or even just kids small toys/puzzles, tools, keep the ideas coming in the comment section! They are #inexpensive, sturdy and the drawers do not stick! That was one of my issues with the rolling c

First Week of Homeschool Down...Letting Go of Control and Spider Surprise!
We made it! The first week of #homeschool under our belts. I learned that my typically rigid/planner a$$ can actually chill out, be flexible and cut corners that I didn't think I could. I also mean this literally. Check out these math manipulatives I cut out today. There were approximately 3,928,392,520. I started out as the normal Ex #Teacher Christy would, perfectly cutting each one. Then I stopped when I realized I would literally die cutting. So if you look closely

Bread, Showers (and Cher) Save lives.
Since I was young, mammmaaa always told me, "Eat bread." I swear, anytime I was sick to my stomach, had a headache, maybe a hangnail, she would throw a loaf at me and promise all would be better. Anytime I was #tired, #sick, got a bad haircut that made me look like Peter Pan, or even when I broke up with a dude because he started wearing a cross necklace that hung ever so delicately over his creepy black turtlenecks...she told me, "Go take a shower, you'll feel better."

I Am Not Who You Think I am
Don't worry, I am not #SnoopDogg's long lost sister. But close. He is my soulmate. Ok, seriously...and this IS going to be a more serious #blogentry (and long, Wix tells me it is a 6 minute read! You got 6 minutes?), enter at your own risk. I think a lot of people see my Facebook posts, my #lifecoaching job (maybe overly #motivational to some) my #relationship, my daughter, and think I have it easy, or my life is perfect/I have it all together. I get messages from people o

First Day of Homeschool
The day has come! And exactly as many #homeschool #mamas told me, it does not go as you imagine. Not to say it was bad, but the timing was not as planned. My cute little color coded #schedule will, indeed, be reworked. I did have a lot of fun with Cora, she absolutely LOVED it, and I love the freedom it gives her. I set the morning pretty rigid, and let her choose the order of the afternoon classes. My little #holyroller asked to have two time slots for learning about #

In the Wild, Memories of Long Lost Saturday Nights and Eating Science!
Every Saturday night of #summer, we go on a #lightning bug/frog hunt. We release them, settle down, #treehuggers. BTW, put whatever you call lightning bugs (fireflies, etc?) in the comments. It was #naturegirl 's idea to start this tradition, and it is actually something I really look forward to now. I got this critter catcher below, and it makes it that much more exciting. I sound like a commercial, but this thing has a light, a magnifying glass and a hole to drop the s

Taking the homeschool plunge!
2020. This is bananas. And I hate that because I am allergic to bananas. But seriously, can we have a refund on 2020? If that is impossible, I will just continue writing this blog instead, in hopes I can add a little joy to your day. As a kid, I was a tomboy who wore dresses if that is a thing. I hung out with boys, collected bugs and ran around with no shirt. As I got older, I became quite the girly girl, screamed at the sight of a spider and graduated to crop tops. My wi
