A Day in Our Classroom :)

My daughter has started Pre-K this year and although we had a late start, she is making great progress. She really seems to like school, although some days we do struggle. She is retaining what she is learning, and that makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. :) She has learned all her vowels and we are embarking into learning our consonants. I have found that Jacob needs to feel like he is a part of the homeschooling process so I give him some busy work to do while I am working with Hannah. He loves to write in an empty journal book and doodle with a pen. He also enjoys digging through a bowl of dry rice looking for little trinkets that I have hidden in the rice. Trying to be creative is always fun...but that is what homeschooling is all about. I love being my children's teacher!!
This is where we do our school. As you can see, I work with what I have. :) We have a tiny kitchen and that is transformed into our classroom during school time.
 Matching up her capital letters with the little letters. She did well with this!
 Writing her letters.
 Jacob doing his "school". He is a good little pupil! :)

So, that is just a peek at how we do school around here. Every day is fun and sometimes challenging...but so worth it! Hannah is learning and in the process, I am learning about her. She is a good student and I am looking forward to the rest of our year! :)

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Vanilla & Lime Twist Review & Prize Pack GIVEAWAY {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member , I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment! So, this next review is brought to you by Carmex and is featuring their brand new Vanilla Twist and Lime Twist Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balms ! Carmex has been one of my favorite brands to use lately mainly because I love the tingly sensation that is present after using their products. I know it sounds odd, but it is almost like I know the product is working for me and actually doing something other than sitting on my lips. (Just don't leave them in a hot ...

Prem Soaps Review

I often love to highlight beauty and skin care products here on my blog and have been on the search for some really great and organic beauty companies to feature. When it comes to my skin (as I have said numerous times before) I am choosy as to what I use on it. Our skin really takes a beating...especially when exposed to the weather and indoor elements such as water, heat, cleaners and soaps . Have you noticed that most soaps today...even though they smell great...contain LOADS of chemicals and additives? I have, and honestly-it's scary. Think about it...your skin is like a giant sponge; what goes ON gets absorbed IN. So I think it is important to use only those products that will put goodness in...rather than chemicals. The other day I was searching the Internet for organic kitchen products . Specifically, I was looking for bamboo products, towels, dishes, etc. However, I was NOT prepared to find what I did! Prem Soaps is a little company nestled in Brooklyn, NY that...
