I turn 28 in 10 days, and if you saw way back in January I made a goal, or I guess since it was January it might as well be called a resolution, to complete a 5k by my 28th birthday. Well, I did it, I completed a 5k! It didn't go according to plan, but I got through the finish line. AJ and Aliceana joined me on this 5k and we did it together as a family. It was actually a ...
1919 Kitchen & Tap | Dining in Lambeau Field Green Bay, Wisconsin
Football season is here, well pre-season at least and here in Wisconsin, we're all pretty passionate when it comes to the Packers. We love visiting Lambeau Field. Did you know that there's an amazing restaurant inside Lambeau called 1919 Kitchen & Tap? It's a great excuse to visit the 50 foot Lombardi trophy on the way to lunch. I would have taken a photo, but I'm pretty ...
Hiking at Cave Point Park | Door County, Wisconsin
We took a day trip to Door County and after we had amazing bbq at Casey's we went for a hike. It's an incredible hike on rocky cliffs that lead straight down to Lake Michigan. We took Watson with us and he had so much fun navigating the trails. The trails are full of tree roots and rocks so you have to carefully plan out each step you take. At one point Watson randomly lunged ...
Casey’s BBQ & Smokehouse – Egg Harbor, Wisconsin
Few things in the world are better than smoked meats and bbq sauce. So we had to try Casey's BBQ & Smokehouse when we were in Door County. We brought Watson with us so we went straight to the back patio and it was such a fun casual setting overlooking the gorgeous waterfront. It was as homey as your own backyard and feels a little like you've just found Door County's ...

This is what happens after 100 days of MyFitnessPal
100 days ago I was really struggling with my weight. I would instantly delete pictures of myself. It was becoming difficult to find something in my closet to wear. I didn't have the energy or motivation to peel myself off of the couch. Then I decided that enough was enough. I decided to start working on creating a calorie deficit by logging calories on MyFitnessPal ...
Free resources we’re using to learn Spanish while unschooling
Aliceana is almost 6 and I figured it would be the perfect age to start learning Spanish. The only problem is I don't know any Spanish aside from the words that everyone knows, uno, si, fiesta, taco, and other extremely basic vocabulary words. So I'm definitely not the best person to be learning Spanish from. So we'reworking on learning Spanish together and it's actually really ...
Our Time4Learning Schedule
Our Time4Learning schedule Let's talk about our Time4Learning schedule, if you're not aware of Time4Learning it's a complete online curriculum. The first year we did Time4Learning was 1st through 2nd grade, those grades moved extremely quickly (she completed each grade in about 3 and a half months) for Aliceana and we used block scheduling. When things started to get a little ...
The Advantages of Homeschooling an only child
Homeschooling an only child We're outliers. Homeschooling an only child in a world where most homeschoolers have multiple children. Most homeschoolers that I've encountered on or offline have more than one child, sometimes by a lot. You know who I'm talking about, the families that need a small bus to bring their kids anywhere. I follow fellow homeschooling bloggers and most ...
Why should you homeschool year round?
Last week Aliceana finished 2nd grade. It also happens to be May about the time that everyone is finishing up school and getting out for 3 months. We had a celebratory ice cream cone, high fived and happy danced a lot, she was done with 2nd grade, hooray! Then the next day we started 3rd grade. We decided that it's best for our family not to have a 3 month summer ...
