I have an obsession with homemade beauty products, especially sugar and salt scrubs. I am always trying to come up with new scents and various ingredient combinations. My new favorite is Bergamot- a green rind orange that is most popularly used to give Earl Grey Tea it's unique taste. So, I just had to create this Bergamot and Tangerine Sea Salt Scrub. Here in Florida it has been chilly ...
Farmhouse Style for Your Home
Items purchased through my links may give me a small commission but do not affect your price. You are just as likely to find HGTV on my television as anything, especially if my favorite industrial farmhouse loving couple is on! While most of what they show is way out of my range I enjoy trying to find more reasonable pieces that still offer the same feel. In my hunting I have discovered Amazon ...
Tree Unit Study Resources
While we have,and use, a curriculum that outlines everything for us, what I really love to do is go rogue and make my own unit studies for various science and nature subjects. We get to cover things that we are seasonal or that we just have a passion for at our own pace and in our own time. I gathered some resources and suggestions for putting together your own tree unit study to share with ...
Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks-Florida Field Trips
I love the rich diversity, culture, and variety of things to do in Florida. I am pretty sure I would not be as happy making my home in any other state but here. We have our beautiful beaches,zoos, aquariums, amusement parks, state parks, and so much more that create a statewide playground for us to enjoy, and we do! Our trip to the Tarpon Springs Sponge docks was no different, and I hope if ...
How to Prevent Lice- Detangler & Lice Spray
My little girl has thick hair, and while it is now short (she has a sweet little bob) it still gets a bit haywire and needs to be tamed in the morning or quite honestly pretty much anytime we leave the house. So we need detangler daily, and recently there has been a lot of talk of super lice going around the U.S. so I felt like I need to put something in her hair to prevent lice. So I made my ...
DIY Produce Wash
The last year has found me on a mission to replace many of the cleaning, cooking, and beauty products around our home with DIY versions in an effort to cut out needless chemicals. This DIY produce wash is one of the changes I have made and wash all my produce in it, organic or not. Flipping over the package to read the ingredients can be well...downright scary. One thing I have ...
Lace Diy Boot Cuffs
Create these DIY Lace Boot Cuffs with just a few items and a few minutes. So I grabbed my daughter a cute pair of brown boots to wear through fall and winter, the next step was to grab a pair of pretty boot socks or boot cuffs to peek out. I could not find them anywhere local, looked online and they were just too darn expensive, or buying on Amazon they would take 6 weeks or more to arrive so ...
Homeschool Field Trips -Florida Aquarium
We are blessed to live in Florida where we are surrounded by water, beaches, and all the amazing sea life within. Rarely do we get to glimpse that sea life first hand, lucky for us we are also home to The Florida Aquarium where we can witness the wonder of God's creation from tiny, delicate sea horses to giant Goliath groupers. We always have an amazing time when we visit the aquarium ...
Homeschool Field Trip-Crayola Experience
This Homeschool Field Trip-Crayola Experience was super fun for the kids and I. We were given the opportunity last week to visit the newly opened Crayola Experience at the Florida Mall in Orlando, and we were all delighted that we made the trip! From the entrance on the outside all the way through the 70,000 sq. foot exhibit you know you are smack dab in the middle of Crayola! The entrance is ...
