Deciding to put your kids into the school system or into a homeschool program  is a tough choice to make, there are many pros and cons to each. 

Maybe you are doing some “Summer School” projects or studies to keep your child in the school mindset, or to help them get ahead. We have been “playing school” with my babies for months now, and if you know me, we do it right! There is a mini lesson plan that we follow, printouts, projects and organization! (okay, so the organization part is my thing, but it is equally important!) With the girls both, hopefully, starting school (safely) this year, I want to do some extra things with them even when they are home, just to keep them sharp. ​

I have always been interested in business and entrepreneur life, even as a young child!

And if you have been around here any length of time, you know that I am obsessed with books! 

I jump at the chance to try a new books, authors, and hopefully learn more and more to take on in my dream of having a small business.

When the chance to read a new book, apply what I am learning came across my email, I jumped at it, of course!

Last Summer, I really fell in love with running. 

Okay, so, more like jogging, but either way, that is a entire new level to "more in shape Amy". 

I have never been a runner, jogger or anything of the sort. I remember my middle school physical education teacher making fun of me for not being able to run a mile in less than twenty minutes. 

I just couldn't. 

I didn't know how to make my body push through the discomfort, and breath correctly. I am still improving my gait, my breathing techniques... all of it. 

At the beginning of this year, I planned to sign up for my first 5K ever. This was huge for me. My husband was even going to do it with me; we were going to put the girls in their stroller and do it as a family! 

​For years, I have been longing to get my garden going, more so now that I have kids!

The thought of growing and providing vegetables fresh out of our garden for our family and friends provides me with such a good feeling!

Not only will we be sharing and providing healthy foods for our kids, but we will reap the benefits in more ways. What a great way to be outside soaking up some sunshine while working in the garden. My mom and dad taught me so much (and still do) when we were outside doing yard work or working in the garden. I hope my kids will enjoy learning about the garden and the entire process, too, learning about how we grow these nutritious, yummy veggies!

Let’s talk about preparing to get our garden off the ground!
