Adventures of a Homeschooling Foodie
I’m so excited to participate in this Valentine’s event (again). This is the fifth year for our event and we want to continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer. Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer…
Achievement unlocked! I survived my first week of my No Spend Challenge. Nothing was purchased off Amazon. I removed the app off my phone and canceled multiple subscriptions (I did leave some for reasons you will find below) and I removed myself from e-mail newsletters that might tempt me to buy. So while I won’t…
This year, I’m taking on the challenge of buying nothing new—for a whole year. My goal is to lower items brought into the house, cut down on waste, and save money. As intimidating as it is, I am so excited to do this. I’ve written out a breakdown of my goal as well as what…
Thanksgiving has really been the time where I put together all of my favorite recipes of the season that I’ve collected over the years. I’ve been hosting my own Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving since I was 13 and absolutely love preparing a big meal for people to enjoy. A word on Friendsgivings–I love them. I think everyone should…

You might be homeschooling for the first time, homeschooling multiple children of various ages, or homeschooling while stuck completely indoors. Doubts might be flying around y our head to if you can do this. While this will be challenging, I’ve put…
The world has seemed up turn upside down in an instant. It’s not just one city, state, or country–it’s the whole world. Social distancing is our best defense against the virus– But how do we, as social creatures, keep sane during this time? We aren’t even sure how long this will be in place! With kids…
Sweet rose frosting and a rich matcha shortbread cookie complete with rose petals for decoration–do I need to say any more? This is the 4th year I’ve participated in the Good Cookie Kids Cancer Valentine event. I always have a ton of fun coming up with a valentine’s dessert and raising money and spreading the…
I won’t lie, I’m pretty excited for this challenge! Why plant based? I was a vegetarian for 7 years. Then stopped. I’ve been having a hard time with everything that has been happening in the world lately. I feel powerless and frustrated. I also know that healthwise, cutting out meat products is good for me…
