Don’t forget to Like, Comment, and Share the video and SUBSCRIBE! :)
This is my favorite way to chop an onion.
When you chop an onion this way, you won’t be crying or chasing the onions all over the cutting board.
*Notes* When Cutting the Onion:
Make sure you leave about 1/4″ – 1/2″ at the top by the root when you begin slicing.

His sister Cylee (most likely on accident) bumped his head with her cast. He was tattling & had the best answer when I asked him why he didn't hit her back. #takenotesrayrice #violenceneversolvesanything #raisingagentleman #hestilltattlesthough #lol

Raising a Gentleman
My mother told me,
“You can tell the real character of a man by watching how he treats his mother and sister(s).”
Before I dive into this let me just throw it out there…
My kids aren’t perfect.
I’m not perfect.
I don’t THINK my kids are perfect.
I don’t THINK I’m perfect.
We have good days and then we have really crappy days, like everyone else.
I want to share with you what I’ve been doing with…

Toddler Color Recognition Exercises
Toddler Color Recognition Exercises
My 2-year-old Alexis has been in and out of my kids’ homeschool classes each day. She pays attention for as long as her little mind can handle it and then she takes off. I hadn’t even considered including her in our homeschool routine until she counted to 13 by herself one day. We had been counting 1-50 with my kindergartener and I guess she had been paying attention!
So of course I took that…

What is a Lapbook?
What is a Lapbook?
I’ve seen a few homeschooling parents talking about their child’s lapbooks and thought this would be a great idea to try with my kids.
Here was the first video I found on what lap books are and it was really helpful.
We were studying dinosaurs and butterflies so I decided to make a couple lapbooks for my kids. I currently don’t have…

Geocaching
What is Geocaching?
According to this great description on Google, Geocaching is:
the recreational activity of hunting for and finding a hidden object by means of GPS coordinates posted on a website.
I thought this might be a phenomenal activity to do with the kids so we checked out the website, signed up, bought the app for my iPhone and headed out to find some Geocaches!
Our First…

It's Our First Year to Homeschool
It’s Our First Year to Homeschool
So this is my first year to homeschool my kids. We did a trial run this summer to see if I could handle it. It was a really incredible summer that brought all of us closer, strengthened our bond, improved me as a mother, and my kids got smarter. #winning
I used to be one of those moms who was very happy to send my kid off to school so I could have some time for myself with one less kid. Last…

First Day of Homeschool!
First Day of Homeschool!
Today is our first day of official homeschool! I still haven’t decided what we’re going to call our homeschool but we’ll figure it out soon. The kids have been very excited to start officially school, all summer long.
My daughter Olivia will be starting 1st Grade and my son Landon will be starting Kindergarten. We have had a little jump start over the summer while we did our Homeschool Trial.…

I wanted to sit in my office alone today. I kind of needed a break after a super busy week. Buuuut my daughter Cylee asked me if she could spend the day in my office with me. So I let her because she wanted to be with me & it melted my heart. While I did some work, she made stuff for her own butterfly lap book. You have to cherish & maximize on the times your kids want to be with you. Because one day, they'll grow up, move out, & you'll miss them like crazy. If only these kids knew how much I love them.. #momlife #kids #ilovemykids #ilovebeingamom

Made a volcano for science today. They loved it even though it was the weakest vinegar & baking soda eruption I've ever seen. I think my baking soda was old or something. But they had no idea & were super excited to see the reaction of adding vinegar to baking soda! #homeschool #homeschoolrocks #scienceproject #kindergartenscience #kindergarten #kindergartenlesson #kindergartenhomeschool #firstgrade #firstyearhomeschool #firstgradehomeschool #firstgradescience #1stgradehomeschool
