About Me:

 Hi friends, 

I'm K. Wife to my amazing hubby & a home-school veteran who has been homeschooling my 2 kiddos for the past 6 1/2 years. I love the incredible memories that I am able to create with my kiddos each year and all the special moments we share every day while we learn and grow together. The past 6 years has taught me to slow down and savor each moment, to really relish each and every opportunity and take the time to appreciate the season I'm in and not try to hurry through it even if it may be difficult. Life has taught me that in those difficult seasons that is where I learn and grow the most because there are so many lessons to learn and glean from so its best to embrace it with a smile. 

One of our favorite things as a family is to include travel or exploring nature into our school year as much as possible because we all love to travel, hike, getting out into nature & exploring new places. Some of our best learning moments have happened while we were out exploring. It allows for all of our senses to be alert and for us to become more in tune with nature. We love discovering new places, hidden gems and places off the beaten path. It is so thrilling for us to discover a new favorite place and to make special memories there as a family. 

I also love to decorate, craft and do diy projects so you may see some of those floating around on here from time to time (perhaps it will be one of our school projects 😉).  You may also see info about organizing, planning and putting together events as I have become the decorator/planner for multiple events over the past few years and it is something that I love to do 😍😊

Thanks for joining me here, I'm so glad that you're along for the journey! I look forward to getting to know each other better and I'd love to read your comments so please message away with your thoughts, comments and questions! 

~K

Homemade Coleslaw

  Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing my favorite coleslaw recipe. I love that it can be adapted to your preference with just a few tweaks. One is rich and creamy and the other is a vinaigrette. Both are equally delicious and make an excellent side dish or as a topper to this yummy bbq shredded chicken slider recipe: https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/bbq-shredded-chicken-sliders.htm  .

The journey that brought me to homeschooling: part II

Hi friends, Today I thought I'd share about our journey to homeschooling with you. I've had a few inquiries on my Instagram account about what got me into homeschooling lately and I'd love to take you on the journey with me while I reminisce :) So lets go back to the beginning, a little over 9 years ago my kiddos and I were living a completely different life. We were barely hanging on by a thread and just trying to survive another day. That's life, living with an abusive alcoholic and meth addict. I am so grateful and beyond thankful to say that my kiddos and I are survivors of domestic violence/abuse and that we are here, thriving and living an incredible life. One that God has brought so much restoration and healing to, we are safe, happy, healthy and loving the life we are privileged to be living. If you or anyone you know happens to be in a horrible situation, living with a violent partner I encourage you to seek help when it's safe for you/them to do so and t...

Cowboy Casserole

 Hello friends,  If your family is anything like mine they will love this super simple & delicious hearty casserole. I love that it is filling, healthy and can easily be made ahead of time or frozen to keep on hand for the busy days we just don't have a ton of time but I still want us to eat a homemade meal. :)  *Check here for link to another yummy meal I think your family will love and that can easily be made out of left over shredded chicken you didn't use for this recipe: *Preheat oven to 375 degrees 1) Start by adding 6-8 frozen chicken breasts (I purchase a big bag of individual flash frozen chicken breasts at Costco) into my Instant Pot and line them side by side. (Also can be made with lean ground beef/lean turkey/sausage or ground elk). Cook on manual for 14-15 minutes, let sit another 5 minutes before quick release. 2) Dice 1/2 of 1 onion * (while chicken is cooking) 3) Drain one 15oz can of sweet corn 4) Add first three ingredients to a large mixing bowl ...
