The Action Bible Anytime Devotions

by summers1405 March 23, 2020March 23, 2020.

Hey all! I want to share with you a video I did this last week reviewing The Action Bible Anytime Devotions. This is a scary time for our kids and finding ways to encourage them is a wonderful feeling. This allows them to connect with God on certain topics that they need at that moment.…

Books We Love: Nothing

by summers1405 May 15, 2019May 17, 2019.

We all know I’m a sucker for a good kids book but seldom do I open one up and fall in love immediately. We can just call this what it is – a glowing review – because I absolutely love the book Nothing by Natalee Creech a WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group book.…

by summers1405 May 8, 2019May 17, 2019.

We have done a lot of U.S. history but hadn’t branched out into world history until recently.

One thing that really stood out to me when deciding if we wanted to review Pathway to Liberty’s World History was…

History Made Fun with the HEROES OF HISTORY Series {Review}

by summers1405 April 10, 2019April 11, 2019.

Growing up, history was probably my least favorite subject. We were taught to just memorize dates, names, facts, etc.. So I did. And I promptly forgot most of that information once the test was over. There was nothing fun about it for me. Deciding to homeschool, I was on a mission to make history fun…

4 Reasons We Love the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Speed™

by summers1405 August 28, 2016August 28, 2016.

I was ridiculously happy when I found out we were getting the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Speed™ to review.  I HATED our current vacuum and could not wait to get it out of this house so I never had to see it again.  When it arrived, I tore into it like a kid in a candy store.…

Quiet Time Activities with Smithsonian Readers

With three little ones and one who no longer naps, it is so hard to find quiet time.  I’ve been working on getting the kids’ quiet time bins filled and available so I don’t lose my mind.  I fill them with a variety of different things that they enjoy, are quiet, and allow me to…

Feel Beautiful While Breastfeeding : You! Lingerie Review

by summers1405 April 9, 2016April 9, 2016.

After breastfeeding for 5 1/2 years and counting, I’ve watched my body go through plenty of changes and I’ve watched as clothes that fit so well a month ago suddenly don’t fit at all.  The biggest culprit has been my bras.  I had one that I loved.  It fit so well and was so incredibly…

Give Your Baby a Greener, More Eco-Friendly Start

by summers1405 January 16, 2016January 16, 2016.

When I started writing my blog, I was a mom to one little girl.  We were and still are a breastfeeding, co-sleeping, cloth diapering, baby wearing family.  As a family, we already do a lot of “green” eco-friendly things that are part of our daily habits.  We strive to make choices in our day to…

Essential oils are a part of our daily life.  There are a few different oils that we use daily.  While I absolutely love the oils that we use, I like to check out other brands once in awhile. When I reviewed the Venta Airwasher a few months ago, I was thrilled to hear that we…

Split Pants Review

by summers1405 December 22, 2015.

I’ve had many messages, emails and lots of questions over the past few years about elimination communication.  Some people either don’t know anything about it or just want to know more about it.  I started elimination communication a bit with Maggie as a baby but didn’t really know what I was doing.  I decided that…

I am always on the hunt for more natural products, both for the kids and for myself.  Years ago, I heard what the average amount of chemicals a person uses daily was and I was blown away.  While I knew my number wouldn’t be quite as high since I almost never wear makeup, I still…
