Oshkosh Restaurant Eat Week (Becket’s)

The 3-course lunch costs $12 while the dinners cost ...
Is Amazon Prime Pantry worth it?
This post contains affiliate links, and I receive a small commission if you purchase from these links. This helps keep this website running. I've been a member of Amazon Prime for, well, I don't even know how many years. It's been quite awhile and I couldn't live without it.

Thank Goodness for Thundershirts
This post contains affiliate links to help keep our site running. They say dogs take after their owners, and I have to say that Trio definitely takes after me. He's absolutely gorgeous, food motivated, loves napping more than anything, and he has crippling anxiety. My dog, a German Shorthaired Pointer, is a hot mess, we're working with our vet because not only does he ...
What can you do with a Google Home?
Our family is Google Home obsessed recently. My Christmas presents this year consisted of a small fleet of Google Home Minis. AJ cleverly wrapped them in 3 completely different sized boxes to throw me off the scent. They're tucked into our living room, kitchen, and bedroom. They're so incredibly handy. we use them a lot more than we thought we would. These are all ...
Snailmail
Aliceana is great at reading and spelling when she's in the mood, which is hardly never. It's a hurdle that I've been trying to deal with when it comes to unschooling. So I try to make things fun. Some days we'll use sight word flash cards and copy the words onto a dry erase board, because to a 5 year old dry erase boards are pretty magical. Some days we'll read an entire book ...
I hate running…5k here I come.
I'm the girl that would magically become ill on the day we were supposed to do the mile run in school. I'm the girl that would last about 30 seconds in a horror movie, because I would either run out of breath or trip over my feet the second that I had to run for my life. I'm the girl that's convinced that I'm going to get through a 5k without dying by my 28th birthday. This ...
Crap, I have Anxiety
Crap, I think it's about time to admit I have anxiety. How do I know I have anxiety? Well, during a standard doctor's appointment my doctor said, "You have a heart murmur, let's order an ECHO to check it out. " Since I had new insurance I decided to wait to check it out until after the New Year. I spent the entire holiday season convinced that my heart was failing me. The ...
LEGOs the gift that keeps on giving
This Christmas we're all about the LEGOs. We bought Aliceana a ton of LEGO sets from the LEGO Friends house that she wanted to a really cool Minecraft set and some in between (like a puppy day care and cupcake store.) We love these playsets because Aliceana is obsessed with building projects, but AJ and I are terrible at building most things. I also love that they'll last ...
Educational Fieldtrip ideas for Homeschool
We love going on trips, whether it's to a local city or further away we always look for some fun family field trips where we can learn in a fun environment. These are some of our favorite places to learn. The best part is enjoying these places on weekdays when they're not crowded, just an added perk of homeschooling and working from home. I definitely recommend checking out the ...
