New Stage in Life

     Coming up in September the youngest two kids are going to start doing duel enrollment with our local community collage. So with that, We have decided as a family that I will go back to teaching full time, I am an Early Childhood Educator.  With my new job I have the opportunity to continue my education and get my Bachelors Degree in Early Child Education. I am so excited to start this new adventure. My two youngest will still be doing a couple of subjects at home, but most will be at the community collage.  

    So somethings I am looking forward to as I go back into the classroom.  I love teaching, I love seeing kids grasp concepts, and I love decorating and planning my classroom.  I will have a co-teacher, so that is good.  I am looking forward to getting to know her and the students.  I have been out of a perfectional classroom for 14 years.  To say the least I am a little nervous to start back teaching full time, but I am also excited.  I am excited with the opportunity to get my bachelors degree. 

    I am going to be learning a new work, school, life balance.  I am so thankful that I know a lot of crockpot and instant pot recipes.  I will be working on meal prep recipes and stocking the freezer before going back to work and starting school.  I will also be working on meal prep for lunches.  With the kids going to in person classes a couple days a week, my husband works full time, plus a part time job, and with me starting to work a full time job, it will be nice to have home made lunches on the go.  I will be working on recipe and blog post for all of that, including what lunch boxes and containers we will be using.  As I get ready to go back I will be posting a what is in my teacher bag, things I have in my classroom, and so much more about going back to the workforce after 14 years. I can't wait to take you along on this new journey, and still give you content like I have been. New recipes, what God is teaching me, homeschool life, cleaning and organizing, meal prep ideas and more. 

Until Next Time,

As Summer Comes to a Close

 With the beginning of August our summer is slowly coming to an end. We will start school up again, and the two kids left homeschooling will start a new adventure and take duel credit classes through our local Community College. Although we have at least two more months of hot/warm weather, my thoughts are turning towards decorating for the fall/Halloween. I will not start until September to decorate for the fall and then October 1st for Halloween. I am going to be working on projects for Fall and Halloween decorations over this next month. 

With fall also comes some of my favorite meals. I love making hardy soups, homemade bread and other comfort foods. I will be sharing some of my favorite recipes during the fall. I will be working on doing cook with me videos on my YouTube Channel this fall as well. I have already started on a few that are up now.

I have finally finished my home office. I just took me some time to get pictures for you all.  My office is set up to also be an online classroom and makeup area for my daughter and I.  She is really into doing makeup and the office is a great space for us to share.  It is also a space that is for working on things my husband and I need to work on for our scouts troops, we are Scoutmaster for.  

This fall is a lot of new for us, but it is all good.  We have our 19 year old that is leaving the nest, but will not be to far from us. He is starting his Freshman year in college and we are so excited for him.  Well I am getting ready for our crazy week ahead. 

Until Next Time,
