An Easy Post-Holiday Energy Cleanse

Posted on December 30, 2019 By Christine

Oh, the holiday hustle! We run run run towards Christmas like a fat kid chasing some french fries (oh wait…that’s me), and then we just…stop. There’s a meme that says something to the like of, “that week between Christmas and New Year’s where you have no…

Health Labs Vegan Maintenance Panel Review

Posted on September 25, 2019 By Christine

When I moved to a plant based lifestyle, I wanted to make sure I didn’t become a “pizza and french fries” vegan. Vegan options are so healthy, but sometimes making the switch to a plant based AND HEALTHY lifestyle can be challenging. I loved all of…

Real Talk: I’m a Jerk to People I Love

Posted on July 24, 2019 By Christine

Lately, I’ve have to come to some startling (to me) realizations about myself. The last year I’ve been really rude and hurtful to people who tend to do the most for me. Mainly, my husband and my Mom. This is a vulnerable post for me to…

Comfy Mama Style Staples

Posted on June 6, 2019 By Christine

My wardrobe has changed so much within the past five years. I grew up as a punky offbeat kid who always loved having statement pieces, to wearing literally nothing, to wearing just sweatpants and sweatshirts every day (even to work when I was in college–YUCK!) Now,…

I brought this to school with me almost every morning and replaced my usual bar with Yes for a week. This bar held up in yogurt & was delicious solo. It kept me full and satisfied for hours paired with a piece of fruit and my morning coffee.⁣

This winter has been eternal. Now that the days ar This winter has been eternal. Now that the days are getting a little bit longer, I’m finding that our homeschool routine is taking a seasonal pivot. Now is when we start looking at nature in all of its beautiful forms. I try to really keep a seasonal rhythm with my home school work that I do with Leo. This month, we collected picture books of swamps, marshes, and other small freshwater forms. We revisited our nature journal, that quite frankly, remained empty from most of this winter. We’ve been exploring some early green sprouts that have been popping up in the yard, and we’ve started our seeds to be transplanted to our garden in a few short months. Of course, there’s the more traditional academics. Recently, Leo has been very interested in reading manga on his own. So that has provided us with great motivation to work on the sight words, pronunciation, and other word combinations that are necessary for reading comprehension. And slowly, we are getting amped for hikes! Now if we could just get temps above 60 degrees… #homeschooling #homeschool #homeschoollife #education #homeschoolmom #montessori #homeeducation #learningthroughplay #montessoriathome #kids #parenting #learning #preschool #learningathome #unschooling #kidsactivities #momlife #homeschoolers #school #homeschoolfamily #teachersofinstagram  #earlylearning  #kindergarten #homeschooler #preschoolactivities #homeschoolingmom
