After nine months of building, we moved into our dream home and boy it was a process. For instance, we had no idea we’d have a septic tank storing all of our crap, buried in the ground next to our house. And we didn’t know we’d have our own propane tank to use for much of our energy needs.

We didn’t do a custom build but there were still so many decisions to make. I’ve mentioned before how we went with a lot of affordable options so that we could pay off our house as quickly as possible--Level 1 grade carpet, flat paint and boring pennant lights for example. We’ve slowly been able to upgrade things as we go, and working to put some more love into it and make our home even more energy efficient and cost effective.

In my new blog post, I’m talking about how it is 2 years in, and sharing some ways propane is helping us do that, and a few other ideas we’re working on to “get off the grid”. Check out the link in my bio to read.

I read 50 books in 2020. Books written by republicans and books written by democrats. Books about Muslims who were mistreated after 9/11 and books about a Mormon whose family took religion too far. Books by authors in the LGBT community and books by navy seals. Books about police brutality and books about astrophysics. Books by legendary Black female authors and books by financial freedom moguls. Memoirs by hillbillies, CEOs and neurosurgeons. Fiction novels took me to other times, and other worlds. I may not have traveled 50 miles last year, but I sure traveled through words.

Our diversity is our strength. Not a weakness. And there’s so much to learn from one another.

Bill Nye says “Everyone you’ll ever meet knows something you don’t.” So let’s keep talking, listening, and learning about one another.

Last year I finally fell in love with nonfiction.

My goal this year is to read 52 books. I’m hoping to get to more fantasy novels (my favorite genre) to feel more of an escape. But I’ll keep mixing it up the variety.

📚 UPDATE!: I just published a blog post with a list of my favorite books from 2020. Click my link in bio + this pic to see!

Do you have a book goal this year? Have any book recommendations for me?

You could hear both grumbles and cheers from our l

You could hear both grumbles and cheers from our living room today as we watched the presidential inauguration as a part of our homeschool history lesson.

Grumbles because “Is this over yet?... Can we watch a video about food chains next?” And cheers because “SHHH, THIS IS THE BIGGEST MOMENT IN OUR LIVES!” (Can you guess who is who?)

For writing I had them jot down their thoughts and things they’d remember from today. Jayda said she’d remember the pretty poet and her beautiful poem.

Ty said he would remember the people using their hands to talk (using sign language) and the baby crying in the background 😅. (Lee Lee is at preschool but they pretended she was there).

I loved seeing Lady Gaga as usual, marching to the beat of her own drum in her stunningly memorable dress and rendition of the National Anthem I adored all of the diversity on stage and witnessing the first (but not last) woman sworn in as Vice President of the United States.

Like Jayda, I also loved Amanda Gorman’s poem and one of my favorite lines was “we lift our gaze, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us.
We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside...”

And “There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

I’ll be printing and plastering pieces of that poem all over my house.

No matter the emotions surrounding today we are witnessed a historic moment. Our descendants may ask us where we were, how we felt, and what we remember.

In our house apparently it’ll be historic VPs, pretty poets and crying babies.

Did you watch the inauguration? What will you remember?

About 5 years ago I started a tradition with my kids where we made (or bought) pie on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and called it “Peace Pie” 🥧. I’m a fan of alliteration and pie, so it worked.

Sometimes we attend our city MLK march, other times we watch his I Have a Dream Speech, or both. We always will sit and read some of our favorite books about him, and use it as an opportunity to learn about others.

I love celebrating the things that make us all different, and appreciating the ways we are connected. We have so many books that help us do that and today I’m sharing some of those on my blog.

Tap the link in my bio + this photo to see 16 books that celebrate diversity and inclusion. In that blog post I also link to a couple other posts I’ve written in the past in case you’re hungry for more!

Do you have any MLK day traditions in your home?

Every Friday night our family piles in this room f

Every Friday night our family piles in this room for family movie night 🍿. We take turns picking the movie and I’m always excited to see what each person will pick. Our tastes are all so different—but rule is you can’t argue with the picker. So everyone gets a fair shot to show us what they’ve got! (Ok, well Lee Lee doesn’t get a turn yet but I’m sure that’ll change soon).

When it’s my turn I usually pick an older movie from the 80s or 90s that they’ve never seen before and it’s been hilarious watching their reactions to movies like Free Willy or The Sandlot. And my husband is extremely proud of their Rocky knowledge.

If your kids need to get schooled on some of the classics, or if you just feel like taking a trip down memory lane you’ll want to check out my new movie checklist with 52 movies from the 90s that your kids must see!

It just went live on my blog and it’s totally free. Just click the link in my bio + this pic to download.

Tonight it’s Ty’s pick. You can head to my stories to see what he’s choosing (hint: it’s not from the 90s 😂).

What’s your favorite 90s movie? I hope it made the cut 😬.

Listen, I’m ok with screen time. But at our house it’s something we love to do TOGETHER. Movie nights are us. And Disney movies, even more so. I’m not ashamed to say my kids have seen ALL of them. Every single classic Disney Animated movie and Pixar movie they’ve seen it. Even Lee Lee. So we love to compare them.

Toy Story vs Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc vs the Incredibles, Inside Out vs Soul. If you lined up all of the Disney Pixar movies in a March Madness-style bracket and had them face off to see the BEST which would win? Believe it or not, my family loves discussing things like this--So much so that for the second year in a row we’re inviting you to join in on a Disney movie faceoff to help spark some joy right now. This time with Pixar movies.

How to play? Download or print off one of my free brackets on my blog (link in bio + tap this pic). Fill out your brackets with the movies you think should win in each paring or which one you think will win the stories poll. Tag me so I can share it! Friday we’ll start the polls in my stories and you can vote for your favorites. By Tuesday we’ll see who’s crowned the Best Pixar Movie.

Whoever’s bracket is the closet will win a year of Disney+ and some other goodies to make your family movie nights extra special.

If all of this is confusing just watch my Pixar Bracket highlight for a video explanation 😆.

What about you, which Disney Pixar movie do you think is the BEST?

My pickiest eater and my “I’ll eat anything”

My pickiest eater and my “I’ll eat anything” eater have something in common… These muffins! I am gonna let ya’ll in on a fun new find, these @VeggiesMadeGreat muffins are delicious and like the name suggests… They’re made with vegetables.

Our favorites are the Blueberry Oat and the Double Chocolate. Of course Lee Lee scarfs them down (is that really even shocking?), but Jayda loves them too and it’s normally a major negotiation to get her to eat her vegetables. Veggies are the first and main ingredient in them and they’re gluten free, soy free and peanut and tree nut free!

You’ll find them in the FREEZER section (this surprised me too) at your local grocery store. Just pop them in the microwave for 35 seconds and you’ve got a yummy snack you don’t need to feel guilty about.

Is it hard to get your kids to eat veggies or do they do it without a problem?
