“They define the kids by what they’re good at.

“They define the kids by what they’re good at. Not what they’re bad at.” I’ve been back and forth on the options of how to school my children since they were born. Distance learning these past couple of months has reminded me how much my kids can learn when we approach subjects in a way that sparks their light. And giving them individual attention.

Unschooling isn’t a method I really considered in the past but the _Unschooled documentary I screened during SXSW EDU had me putting my hands up in praise and saying “amen!” in agreement more than once.

The movie follows three high schoolers from Philadelphia leaving the public school system to try an unschooling method. The philosophy being to learn in the way that the individual learns best.

A quote: “Regular school says you need to learn how to play the hand you’ve been given. I say no you don’t, get up from the table and say ‘I’m not playing this game!’” THIS!

The film had so many great messages that I think are important for all of us to hear, no matter which schooling route we take. Head to my link in bio to sign up for their newsletter and find out the next time you can watch the documentary and for resources to help you with learning from home.

140| 365 A Treat: We are going all in on the count

140| 365 A Treat: We are going all in on the country lifestyle over here. Complete with a livestock tank pool. Fancy paint, chlorine pumps and filters? Nah.

But we have plans to use the water for the garden, keep leaves out with a cover and keep the water moving with a solar pump. Stay tuned for more! And head to my stories to see how the backyard is all coming along. #stocktankpool #countrylifestyle

Once a week we take turns choosing what to watch for family movie night 🍿. For some of us (I’m not going to mention any names) deciding what to choose takes a while. Remembering which movies are streaming where is tricky. TiVo Stream 4K helps by putting all of the movies in one menu.

I mean, you know how annoying it is to open Netflix, then Disney+, then Prime Video, Hulu, HBO too see what’s on? This cuts all that out! So you can search for the type of movie you’re in the mood for, TiVo brings them all together across various apps. Then all you have to do is click to watch it on your favorite.

And it’s even easier for my kids who can push the Google Assist button on the remote and ask Google for the movie they’re looking for. I’m hoping this cuts down on how long it takes *cough* Jayda *cough* to choose her movie this weekend.

What was the last movie you watched?

My girls and our crown of curls 👑. You may like

My girls and our crown of curls 👑. You may like them but please don’t touch! Believe it or not, it takes a lot of work. I’m talking HOURS and hours on wash day. Then a routine of twisting and wrapping each night.

I’ve been teaching Miss Jayda how to care for her curls and I adore the love she’s finding for them. She’ll run off with a tub of cream and oil and come back with a beautifully freshened up style all on her own. Her self-confidence and appreciation for her uniqueness is inspiring.

It took me 25 years to fall in love with my curls. But it seems there’s hope for these girls. Loving their big beautiful hair, right from the start.

Getting more time at home with Lee Lee means we’

Getting more time at home with Lee Lee means we’re all getting to know her bold personality better. The older she gets, the more expressive. As evident in the artwork she adds to her arms and face. I have a feeling she has the personality of someone who's always going to say what she's thinking and not hold back. Even as a one-year-old she points to her mouth and says "ow" when her gums are sore from teething. It wasn't always easy to tell when she was little, but this isn't my first rodeo. I shared some of my tried and true tips to help soothe a teething baby with Orajel Non-Medicated Teething Gel over on momdotcom. Link in bio! orajelofficial .

There was a time I wasn’t sure I wanted to be a mother. “Beemers before babies” was my slogan. Needless to say, things change.

I never got that BMW, but I did get three super cute kids and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Day 127|365 This is Love

Is this a sign that Lee Lee is really empathetic? ❤️ Or that Jayda is a great actress? 🎬 Either way, this brought me a much-needed smile today.
