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

Duel Enrollment programs, what are they and how do they work

   Hello friends, One of the questions I've received most often over the past year is what is duel enrollment and how does it work. Ever since we decided our daughter would participate in the program we have had many questions from family and friends. Mainly out of intrigue and interest, but I’m sure some curiosity about what the program is and how it works ;)  As most of our friends and family know, our daughter began her first year as a duel enrolled student at the beginning of this school year. She is both a junior in high school & enrolled as a freshmen at our local community college. The program she is enrolled in allows her to simultaneously earn both her high school credits and a years worth of college credits while she completes prerequisites at the community college. Depending on your child's interests and level of commitment to the program it is possible for a student that is enrolled to graduate high school & receive an AA degree at the same time. ...

Pecan-Pear Green Salad

 My family loves this salad! I have been making it for holiday gatherings for the past 7 years and the bowl is always empty on the way home, haha. This year was no exception, although we had a much smaller gathering it was requested and as usual the bowl was scraped clean;)  One of the great things about this salad is that it can be prepared ahead of time and will keep well in the fridge for a few days (*before the dressing is added to it) which makes it a snap to bring to a holiday gathering, potluck or take on a picnic. Ingredients: 1 container of mixed salad greens (I prefer O Organics mixed greens)  1-2 medium  ripe danjou pears  (sliced into thin slices) 1 avocado (sliced into slivers or thicker chunk size pieces) 1 cup dry roasted, sugared pecans  *Additional ingredients options: Dried Craisins or Dried Blueberries Fresh blueberries & strawberries in lieu of pears Feta cheese Slices of Chicken would be excellent in this as well to add some more p...
