I mean, if you’ve ever met my kids you’d understand why I needed to organize their school supplies - and also why I’m accepting bets on how long it’ll last before they wreak havoc on these poor drawers… but I sure do feel better having all the clutter off their school table (and the floors, and the couch, and the kitchen)!

P.S. I have these clear stackable storage drawers linked on my TikTok and Amazon (in bio) incase you’re wondering where I got them

We went from being in a drought to real swampy around here! Debby brought a whole lot of rain and the historic Page’s Mill Pond is flooded! This is a part of Bear Swamp… I wonder if this will bring the gators out! I know they are lurking around somewhere! 🐊 🌧️ 💦

Photo dump… the animals are loving this post-storm weather, and it was nice to just walk around this soggy homestead and soak up the beauty!

I know this won't be a popular post, but....

....the relief I felt seeing kids going back to school this week, while 3 of my 4 stayed home - eager and excited to start our homeschool year - was IMMENSE.

My oldest is a high school SENIOR and each morning when he leaves for school (which has only been 2 days so far... he has e-learning the rest of the week because of tropical storm Debby), I stand at the front door and pray over him (same as I did last school year). I pray for protection from any harm, protection from temptation and bad influences, and that he will pay attention and actually learn, and be a light for others! This prayer helps me shake off the anxiety that comes with sending him off to school. This year, he only has two classes, so he's back home around 11:15am (which is around the same time we are finishing up our homeschooling, so this allows us to spend the rest of the day being a family).

Sometimes I start to type out our story of why we ultimately chose to homeschool 3/4 of our kids, then I find myself deleting it because I don't want to offend anyone. Which is ridiculous, because as someone who does not get offended by much at all (it really does take a LOT to get me upset) my family and I have been grossly offended by the public school system over the past several years. And I do not place blame on the teachers per say... they are overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. A vast majority of them are amazing humans who have a heart and a gift for teaching and really pour everything they have into their students. THOSE teachers are not why we decided to homeschool. I love, admire and respect those teachers immensely. And let me just add that I grew up in the public school system (and come from a family of public school educators and administrators) and received an AMAZING education and had amazing experiences. So, I was always a fan of public school. But the world I'm raising my children in today is sadly so different than the world I grew up in....

Multitasking as a SAH(working)M, peeling apples to make applesauce & apple cider vinegar while my son finishes a short writing assignment (“Ways I’ll Be a Good Student”). I love his adorable little voice. One day soon, he’s going to sound so grown up, and I’ll get to look back on these memories!

We have a major storm coming our way, so we have to run errands and finish prepping (fill all the vehicles with gas, prep some easy meals incase we lose power, pull the generators out of the garage, put batteries in flashlights, etc) so I’ll make the applesauce when we get home, but at least I can put these jars away in a dark space to ferment into ACV!

Homesteading + Homemaking + Homeschooling = such a lovely life 💚

Dear Heavenly Father, We come before You with gra

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You with grateful hearts as homeschool families begin a new school year. We ask for Your guidance, wisdom, and strength for the parents who have chosen to educate their children at home. Grant them patience, creativity, and clarity as they plan lessons and nurture young minds.

Lord, we pray for the children, that they may be filled with curiosity, joy, and a love for learning. Help them to grow not only in knowledge but also in character and faith. May they find delight in discovery and be encouraged in their individual gifts and talents.

Please bless these homes with peace and a spirit of cooperation. When challenges arise, remind these families that Your grace is sufficient and that You are with them every step of the way.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
