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 πŸ˜‰).  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!

The Ultimate comfort food: Easy Green bean tater tot casserole

  Hi Friends,  Today I'm going to share my grandma's delicious green bean tater tot casserole. It is super simple to make, can easily be made ahead and stored in the fridge for later in the week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I love that it is easy to make, is a great comfort food (similar to shepherds pie without all the extra calories) and the options of what you add in are limitless and can be catered to around every food restriction & easily adapted to fit your families needs.  Ingredients:  ⬥1 1/2-2 cups of cooked green beans (fresh) or 1 14oz can of green beans. *They can be chopped or whole, that is up to you and what fits your families needs best.  ⬥1 can of organic cream of chicken, cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup (choice of soup is up to your preference. I tend to use cream of chicken or cream of celery soup with chicken and cream of mushroom if my meat base if beef). ⬥ 1-2 lbs of ground beef  cooked (or could swap out fo...

Touring the Plantations of Charleston, part I: Drayton Hall

One of our main hopes while we visited Charleston was to visit & tour some of the stunning southern plantations in the area. While we were in Charleston we managed to visit 4 out of 5 plantations that are in close proximity of the city.  Join me as I take us on a tour of Drayton Hall, Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation. We will stroll down history lane, as I share my favorite parts of each plantation, a little brief history of each, recommendations of what to see first, time to arrive at each plantation & best day/time to visit them.  To get started one of the first things to consider is which plantations you'd like to visit and the amount you are comfortable spending & then decide what time of year you plan to visit. You'll need to figure out how many plantations you plan to visit during your vacation and how you'd like to fit your tours into your schedule. *I'd also suggest planning to start your day(s) bright and early to allow...
