We have 3 littles and a few years ago God called us out of private school into homeschooling .

We are excited to share a part of our adventures with you as we travel and homeschool and everything in between❤️

Art of Marriage ~FamilyLife

What an absolutely amazing weekend we have had at the @familylifeinsta event @theartofmarriage ❤️


Investing in our marriage takes work and time . Events like this give us the opportunity to refresh our hearts and our commitment to each other.
.
The speakers , Jeff & Stacy Kemp from @jeffkempteam were amazing! They were engaging and candid and didn’t shy away from sharing hard truths. We loved how they shared their own struggles and faith in ways that made us feel like we could relate.
.
We also really enjoyed meeting and connecting with other couples . There were a few breakout sessions that gave us the opportunity to talk through some questions in a small group . Loved this!
.
And check out these fabulous treats they had! The team did an amazing job on the details to really make this a wonderful event.



If you haven’t set time aside to do something like this ..do it! It is an investment in your marriage!

Teaching Time with Lego

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Teaching time is so much fun with @lego @legoeducation ⭐️
.
They are the perfect size math manipulative and are a great way to teach the students there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

I set the clocks to different times and had the students tell me the time displayed. I then had the students set the times I called out. It was a great way to practice reading clocks and it was super easy to implement ⏱Double win!!

Feeling inspired to refresh our home with a nautical beach theme for the spring into summer season. These are some of the looks that inspired me plus our recent trip to @seabrookwa . I’ve never been a blue person other then denim but I have a newfound love for navy blue this season⭐️

Gathered Thoughts

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Happy Friday⭐️
.
A few weekends ago , we took our puppy for her first grooming appointment . We had no idea how she would do since it would be several hours she would be there . Just for reference >The only time she had been in kennels with other animals was after her surgery as she waited for us to pick her up when we officially adopted her.
.
I suddenly had one of those moments that don’t happen very often but where God allows me a glimpse of his amazing love for us . Wait what??? You see our puppy had no idea what to expect. She was already happy and content with her hair being longer , teeth not clean and nails long. What she did probably experience in some way was anxiety and maybe fear when she was dropped off . Are my owners coming back? I’m afraid.
.
Then the grooming. They cut her hair, washed her , brushed her teeth and cut her nails. Oh so good!
.
Ok so how does that reflect and show Gods amazing love for us? How often are we comfortable just staying where we are because it’s comfortable. Just like our puppy.
Then God opens a door to do something different and we often allow fear and anxiety to creep in instead of trusting that our Heavenly Father has a plan. Then as we walk in it and stretch in different ways it’s often so good and so much better for us . Oh how I want to be more willing to see the challenges or new opportunities that God is allowing in my life as opportunities to become better then I am.
.
Thank you God for these sweet glimpses in everyday moments of your amazing love for me.
.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Last year we learned about Maryellen @americangirlbrand in our American Girl Doll History class.

.

There were so many things happening in the world during Maryellen’s life .She grew up in the time following WW2, she was a polio survivor , there was a space race and Cold War happening ..so many big things and changes.We had lots of fun discussion. 

For our craft, the girls made  these super simple poodle skirts .They coordinated with their dolls and with just a bit of hot glue looked awesome! Check here for full tutorial

Seed Exchange

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

We went to our very first ever Seed Exchange a few weeks ago. We had no idea what to expect and was more curious to see what it was all about.
.
We showed up closer to the end and was bummed to find out we had missed the raffles so lesson learned.. show up to these as closely to the start time as possible. It also looked like there were tables with coffee and food but we were excited to get to the barn and see what the exchange was all about.


We headed to the barn and oh my! Look at all the seeds that were there! There were soooo many! We loved how they had the envelopes with the stickers for you to label the seeds and the way it was easy to navigate. They also had a separate table with packets of seeds.


We ended up getting almost all the seeds we had on our list for the year as well as many more ! Oh and they were all FREE! We will definitely do more of these and can hopefully contribute some of our own seeds .
Have you ever done a seed exchange? If you are wanting to , check out your local conservation district and see when they will be hosting one.

Spring Refresh

New organizing pieces .. yay!! So excited for these to come!
.
I’m hoping to organize my cookbooks/ magazines with these and to create a more restful, organized space.
.
I have to say, I was hesitant on ordering the baskets but they are AMAZING quality! So happy I ordered them now!
.
I picked up all these pieces from @joann_stores and had them shipped. Our local store was picked over but I easily found everything online and at great prices!

New Chicks 🐓

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Our chicken flock just grew by three more littles 🐣🐓
.
We had planned to get all leghorns but then decided to get this sweet Ameraucana that we named brownie ❤️
.
Sadly we ended up losing Brownie this week as well as one of the leghorns . So hard to lose these little ones and was our first time losing chicks and this was our fourth batch .
.
But there was a sweet reminder in talking to the littles about it this week as we processed through it as a family . In the Bible , we are told that not a sparrow falls to the ground that our Father in heaven doesn’t know about and even with these two little chicks , God knows them ❤️ and the scripture goes on to tell us of how much more our Father in heaven loves us.
.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:29-31‬ ‭ESV‬‬
