Winter is a great time to enjoy planet nature study! No one has to stay up late to observe the night sky when darkness comes early. Not to mention, a few of the planets in our solar system reflect the sun’s light so brightly that we can easily see them without the help of a telescope.

That was Malachi’s birthday meal request, haha. This particular shopping day, I also...

In accordance with my 2023 goals to be helpful and stay consistent, I’m kicking things off with the posts that are most requested- weekly meal plans! I’ve been dedicated to meal planning for years and years. Not having to ask myself what’s for dinner every night and having a plan brings me peace of mind. It also allows me to feed my family in an efficient way (little to no food waste). And finally, meal planning let’s us eat healthy while saving money. But truly, the number one reason I do it is the reduced mental load. Being the person...

The last 3 days, my oldest son participated in his first debate tournament. He joined a local debate club last September and jumped right into the world of debate. He learned the difference between Lincoln-Douglas and Team Policy debates. He learned terms like affirmative, negative, constructive, cross-examination, and rebuttals.
