Hello everyone❤️
My name is Misty and my husband Chris & I are the ones behind @redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures.
We love sharing our faith and God’s redeeming power in our marriage and family❤️We also love sharing our adventures in homeschooling, DIY, homesteading , budgeting,hotel reviews, travel and our Disney adventures❤️
.
We have 3 littles and a few years ago God called us out of private school into homeschooling . It was a complete walk of faith for our family and honestly looking back ,we wouldn’t have changed anything.
Homeschooling has opened up a world of adventure for all of us .
.
We are excited to share a part of our adventures with you as we travel and homeschool and everything in between❤️
It’s that time again to start planning and this year for my home management and family life , I chose the @the_happy_planner @disney planner✨ . I am loving the layout and the beautiful dividers for the month. Since this planner will be mostly laid open on my counter all day every day, I knew I wanted it to be pretty to look at so I would want to actively use it. . Oh and did I mention that it might give off the slightest princess vibe? Ok it TOTALLY gives it off and with so much of this world trying to tell us what we aren’t it is such a sweet reminder that we are Princesses and it reminds me of my identity in Christ and how He sees me.. as a princess! So yes I’ll take that any day💜
We recently learned about Kirsten for our American Girl History class. . @americangirlbrand Kirsten series is a wonderful story with historical roots . Her story starts as a family immigrating from Sweden and gives you glimpses of what it was like to be on board a boat headed for America. . It was a wonderful read with some hard parts of loss and what is was like in that time era. . Our Tea Party was pioneer themed. We had heart shaped cakes , cheese and crackers.
The heart shaped cakes were based on the Little House on the Prairie and the heart shaped cakes that Laura received in her stocking. The pioneers treasured flour and sugar and so it was a fun way to incorporate this treat into the Kirsten Tea Party. . While the girls enjoyed their treats and tea, we shared our favorite moments from the books. . We then played a fun bingo with vocabulary words on the bingo sheet that were from the books. This was a fun part that really helped reinforce what they had learned and it gave the girls a chance to earn class money to use in the class store. . The girls also had the opportunity to learn to sew. They made aprons to match their dolls. This was the perfect craft for this time era since aprons were such a big part of the pioneers and their daily lives.
We then finished up by 🛍 shopping. The girls had the opportunity to use the money they had earned to buy items for their dolls ❤️ .
I am attaching some of the printables and the links we used for this class below. I hope you find it helpful❤️

The Night Blossom drink from Pongu Pongu was so good! It was the perfect drink to celebrate riding Flight of Passage . It has layers of pear and apple limeade topped with passion fruit boba . Definitely a must try and for under 6$ it makes a great shareable treat✨
La Isla Fresca located between Morocco and France served up a Sugar Cane Shrimp Skewer that was so pretty to look at! The did a terrific job at plating this dish ✨
.
It was the served with rice and drizzled with a Coconut-Lime sauce and it was gluten-free.. yay!
Happy Friday ✨ . One of our favorite treats @waltdisneyworld was this Peter Pan Float from Storybrook Treats and it was less then $7✨ . Think lime dole whip on top of sprite with a chocolate feather… Yumm!! . We are supposed to go into the 100 degree heat this weekend in the PNW so we may need to attempt to make these as we are sweating in style😅,Disney style🤣
There are so many pieces of our homeschool year that are coming to an end . Some of them we are so ready for and others bring tears .
.
This year started out with all its uncertainty and some of these pieces came together out of not really knowing how they would work or fit into our year.
.
We joined a pod with a few other families, I taught Math via online to two students, I taught my littles .. All their classes.. ( except highschool biology ), and I taught an American Girl Doll History class . Each of these brought joy and fun in unexpected ways to our family this year. They kept us moving forward and created friendships that will be lifelong.
.
As many of these come to an end this week , I am thankful and humbled.This year can’t be repeated, it is a unique one of a kind year and I’m so thankful for getting to create those wonderful memories!
.
We are however, so excited to be done with Math and our other studies and looking forward to lazy summer days of reading and meeting up with friends .
.
How was your year? Did you try something new ? I would love to hear from you .. Let me know in the comments below❤️
We recently stayed at the @bestwestern in Anaheim called the Best Western Plus Park Place Inn.It is one of Disneyland’s “Good Neighbor” Hotels. . One of the first things we loved was the sticker on the door certifying it was clean and ready . . Upon entering , we were pleasantly surprised. Since our last stay a few years ago the rooms had been remodeled and had a nice clean, crisp feel. . The rooms come with a good size fridge and with a coffee maker and supplies . . Some of the things we really loved were the door between our two rooms that we could open to go back and forth. The beds and couch were comfortable and we all woke up feeling refreshed . . Oh and this hotel is directly across from @disneyland!!!That is an amazing perk of staying at this property. . There is also a bagged breakfast to go that included a pastry, orange and bottled water you can pick up as you walk to the park. . The price point was great as well! We paid less then a 100$ a night off season but with the parks opened now the prices can range. We would stay here again if the price was under $200.It’s a great value for the location and room and it easily fits a family of 5 or larger with the connecting door between the rooms✨
We recently had the opportunity to attend the @mopopseattle @minecraft exhibit and it was pretty awesome! My littles love playing Minecraft, so getting to get up close and see some of the Minecraft pieces and elements their size was a pretty cool experience. ✨
