It doesn't even look like the same space. I still have to fix the drawer but other than that, it is a great neutral space! Much better than the bright blue and 3D flowers we had before. This was literally done with the cost of a new toilet seat ($16) and a hook ($1.50) everything else we had on hand already!

How I use my planner to see what I want to get done, but also use it to shift things so I can add in the field trips and fun. I am not a stick to the curriculum π― kinda mom but we are doing our best to really get focused this year. Especially since our oldest starts high school next year.
Other days we may just take it off and sprinkle it throughout the week. Sometimes we just get work done on a Saturday. It changes based off our needs.
Last Monday, we spent most of the morning down by the river and still got everything else done. It is a balance, but the freedom to move and shift and be able to go on adventures on a whim, is why I love homeschooling
Go... Paint a bathroom π₯΄
I'm actually no longer into this project but am forcing myself to finish it. If for no other reason than to not annoy the hubby π
I don't have much left to do.
βfinish painting the walls
βpaint trim
βput up towel ring, tp holder, and light fixture
βfix the drawer
I will be adding hardware to the cabinets/drawers, putting up a shelf or something for decor but will wait until I am done and see what it is all like finished to make my decisions.

Come open our @sharepaperpie order! Lots of fun stuff from Dollar Days last week and fun stuff for the kiddos to do as supplementing.

We've done math! The boys are working on their last thing, a fun paper mache art project! So we are enjoying some beautiful outside time before lunch and reading.

As we bring in the New Year, I hope your days are peaceful and fulfilling. While this year is sure to have its ups and downs like any other year, I hope you look back on it and think of the good more than the bad and continue to thrive and flourish.
Happiest New Year!

Perfect reminder for the rest of my week.
Happy #humpday
Going live to show you what we are using for our first unit studies this year AND some fun stuff tooπ
You know when things get busy and you forget that you have 3000 other things to do and you promise something one day but it will actually be a few days later...
Yeah sorry about that. Sensory by Seemstressed will be available Wednesdayπ€ because I am a mess and I had a few hiccups with the set up that were beyond my control.
Here's another sneak peek as an apology πππ
Super fun finds at Target for our year! I am so excited for our unit studies and even better that I found fun stuff to go with the first ones we are doing.

I got some time alone outside today while the boys were playing with friends and the girls were napping. Definitely got more than a little dirt on my hands but side #1 of our garden bed is ready to be planted as soon as our plants sprout.
After not planting last year it was full of dried leaves, grass clippings, seedlings of who knows what and worse than anything huge vine roots but thankfully I seem to have gotten *most* of those out. I also got up close with spiders, ants, millipedes, centipedes, roly-polies, snails, earthworms, and pupas of multiple varieties.
I got pavers down one side to help hubby mow around the fencing a bit easier. Now on to bed #2 tomorrow and another side of pavers.

Who says you can't forage in the suburbs? We live in a neighborhood. I have houses within feet of my property line. And today we foraged for Purple Dead Nettle. Monkey cut it and cleaned it. Then he chopped it and measured it. We both added the vodka and now I have 3 small jars resting in my pantry. The rest we are drying as I type this for teas, tinctures, salves, and more.
We will be able to use this for first aid as it is anti bacterial and antimicrobial in nature. And we can also use it to help with allergies and cough/throat ailments. Mother Nature provides us with medicines.

Introverts are not antisocial and they don't hate people. Many introverts thrive on connection with other people just as much as extroverts. The difference is that introverts get drained physically and mentally by this. They need time alone with their own thoughts and space to process and recharge.

I finally did the free gifts from Grove... Unbox them with me... And Munchie and see what we find. Or watch my phone get flung around the kitchenπ€·ββοΈ
Question for my homeschooling parents
Mommy had to do some transfiguring and turn ordinary candy into magical treats for our Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone movie day!

Organizing the nursery and starting with the easy part. I will also have to move it all again and will probably change it 10 times between now and June when Bean is due. This shelf is way too bare though.

I'm nesting πͺΊ and it shows... Lol Today I completely did Mermaid's roomπ§ββοΈ. Minus her bed that we are still waiting on replacement parts for π which is why her mattress is on the floor.

One of the many reasons I love homeschooling is my ability to be flexible and change things up as needed. Honestly we weren't looking forward to the newspaper unit any way and poetry and tea sound more funπ #springcreekacademy #newspaperunit #justkidding #poetryunit #teatime #learninglanguageartsthroughliterature #orangebook #homeschoolingmama #forgotthesupplies #remix
