La Vida Savvy

Our 1st Halloween season & pumpkin patch in Idaho. We miss our traditions at the farms we frequented for the past decade ... but this Lowe Family Farmstead topped them all. We were there for hours and didn't get to do everything. We met up with one of our homeschool groups - but ran into other homeschoolers we know too. So blessed to be apart of this community. Gorgeous pumpkin & flower fields... tons of kids activities & its all covered w/admission! We're definitely happy about this new family tradition. . . . #placestovisitIdaho #idahoexplored #idaholife #idahome #idahohistory #idahogram #idaholove #idahofamily #kuna #kunaidaho#visitidaho #idahobucketlist #homeschool #homeschoolers #homeschoollife #homeschooling #homeschoolmom #halloween2023 #fall2023 #pumpkinpatch #pumpkinpatchfun #pumpkinpatch🎃 #idahopumpkinpatch #lowesfamilyfarmstead

Maternity Fairy Photoshoot DIY & Behind The Scenes It's been a hot minute since I've had time or energy to cosplay, play w/makeup or edit anything besides my kids' photos. I've only ever done one other maternity shoot so I wanted this one to be special. All supplies are from Walmart & Dollar Tree all under $50. It took about 4 hours cumulatively to put together. I was anxious making it as quick as possible hoping I didn't go into labor in the midst of making this then there'd be no maternity shoot haha It all worked out famously. #maternityphotosession #maternityportraits #maternityphotography #maternityshoot #maternityphotoshootideas #maternityphotoshoot #maternitypictures #pregnantlife #pregnancyphotography #pregnancyphotoshoot #pregnant #bumppic #fairy #fairyphotoshoot #fairygarden #fairyphotography #diyfairywings #fairycosplay #fairywings #fairymakeup #fairymakeuplook #fairyhair #fairycrown #fairyheadpiece #fairyheaddress #headdress #diyheaddress #cosplay #cosplayphotography #diyfairycostume #walmartcrafts #dollartree #dollartreecrafts #dollartreediy #dollartreecommunity

Grand opening of the @meridianlibrary Orchard Park. We practically live at all the Treasure Valley libraries & this one is closest to our home. The books are so crisp and fresh & the kids were super busy with the sensory activities this branch has to offer. This is our fave library so far ! . . . #homeschooling #homeschoollife #homeschool #idahohomeschoolers #MeridianIdaho #treasurevalley #treasurevalleyidaho #library #librarylife #librarylove

There were so many things to do the #ChildrensMuseumIdaho today. We didn't get to explore it all. Good thing we got passes to come as much as we need. Can't wait to meet other homeschoolers here too (: #treasurevalleyidaho #homeschoollife #meridianidaho #lifeinidaho #thingstodoIdaho #placestovisitIdaho #homeschoolinginIdaho

Our homeschool charter pays for our memberships to Zoos & museums. We ventured for the 1st time this past weekend for their Easter Extravaganza & it was super packed & festive. We came back a few days later during the week for some homeschool learning & we had the entire zoo as our oyster 😁 #TechTrep #homeschoolers #homeschoolersoftiktok #homeschool #homeschoolmom #homeschoollife #homeschoolfieldtrip #lifeinIdaho #Idaholife #boiseidaho #boisefamily #placestovisitBoise #zoo #BoiseZoo #treasurevalleyidaho #BoiseEvents #boiselife #familyof7 #familyfun #fyp

St. Patricks Day photoshoot from start to finish. These shoots are typically more elaborate, involve more editing and treats for the kiddos. This was a fairly simple & easy shoot (: . . . #stpatricksday2023 #photoshoot #photoshootideas #photoshootkids #kidsphotography #photography #photographer #behindthescenes #editing #editingphotos #editinglovers #photoshopping #photoediting #photoshopedit #photoshopmanipulation #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner

This is a very niche tutorial for my Epson 2760 Ecotank Printer. This was our first big purchase when we began homeschooling in 2020. I got it on sale on Costco website & it cemented our place as official homeschoolers. We've printed thousands of pages and still haven't had to refill our ink. It's been a few months & our color wasn't printing normal. Luckily this fix cost me $25 & we're up & perfectly up and running. #epson #epsonecotank #ecotank #epsonprinter #epsontroubleshoot #printercleaning #printheadcleaning #printerpowerclean #printingproblems #printerissues #printerfix #epson2760

We just settled into our new home 3 months ago. I've reorganized this room a dozen times to improve organization, functionality & ease of access. I want the kids to be inspired & proud of the work they've accomplished. There's still more progress to be make it's appearance to match our room of wonder & creation 🪆🎭🎨🤹🏽 #homeschool #homeschoolroom #homeschoolroomtour #homeschoolmom #homeschooling #homeschoolcurriculum #homeschoolideas #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolplanning #homeschoolmama #homeschoolinspiration #homeschoollookslikethis #homeschoolers #schoolroom #classroom #classroomtour #classroomorganization #schoolsupplies #roomorganization #organizedlife #kidsroom #artsupplies

Our first baby appt w/our midwives Family Tree Midwifery, Inc. We interviewed several midwives in Treasure Valley that didn't fit. So serendipitous we're so lucky a spot opened up for us -we instantly resonated w/ their energy & expertise. The kids love being apart of this journey & this time we'll have this baby at home for them to experience it all. We're halfway there! #19weekspregnant #homebirth #midwifery #midwiferycare #treasurevalleymoms #treasurevalleyidaho #boisemidwife #treasurevalleymidwives #meridianidaho #homebirthing #homebirthmama #homebirthjourney #babyontheway

Raw milk ice cream 🍦 made w/most nutritious ingredients 👌🏽 Putting our new ice cream maker to work since we moved. We've tried chocolate/ carob & choc chip so far 😋 options are limitless & taste is beyond delightful. Feeling like queen Frostine up in here 👸🏽 . . Base: 1.5 cups raw milk @rawlifefarm 2.5 cups raw cream @rawlifefarm 1/2 cup sugar (dude at @boisecoop suggested turbindo less processed) 1/4 cup maple syrup or 2taste (@boisecoop had Grade B !)

Refrantry Chronicles: August faves Whats in my refrigerator/ pantry you ask? I've documented my diet transformation for over a decade now. The biggest changes occuring while healing my sweet boy in past 3 years. There should be an award for avid ingredient label readers like myself EVERY INGREDIENT counts. Not for the sake of being righteous or crunchy - my son's comfort & our sanity rides on the clean ingredients & transparency. We've got to relax a bit since we've healed my son & we can enjoy not-so-clean goodies.

Homeschool Diaries: We've packed up & listed our home in less than 3 weeks. As we boxed up our lives up this week- we had lots of UNboxing to do as we got in a ton of curriculum so we're super stoked to begin those fresh books!

Homeschool Diaries: First week back to school I'm getting into the swing of posting & recording our process/ progress when I can rememberto charge my phone. I'll only post what I'm permitted by le spawn. Here's some highlights from last week (; Violet began 2nd & Vivi Kinder. We're packing up to move and I've been doing some massive reorganization to our school room. We're missing some materials & got off to a late start but we're 'on schedule' & the girls are diggin' the first week. P.s There are a ton of dope new uploads to the LVS website, GDrive, FB Group & Page. If you're are or desire to begin homeschooling...

Wtf is La Vida Savvy? Join me in my journey of learning, unlearning & relearning on a wide array of topics. I've done the trial & error along with rigorous and countless hours researching. I am still by no means an expert. I hope that I can be the resource I desperately needed when healing my son. I don't want anyone to suffer not even a slither of what I endured. Here's a little background, FAQs & reason for what fuels the fire for La Vida Savvy. Cheers to finding something that benefits you.
