Doing my best to bring back the best part of motherhood on the Gram: #sevenquicktakes and #sevenquicktakesfriday 🩷 1. One of my favorite things in my kitchen is a little tea service I set up on what I think is an Amazon bathroom organizer display stand. I’ve collected our favorite Harry & Sons teas which come in the most beautiful tins, and it’s always open for a cozy cuppa - for my family but also when we have company. It gets so much use during our monthly @well_read_mom gatherings! 2. My friend Cindy brought me a potted Thai basil plant as a hospitality gift the other day and I love it so much. She pulled it out of her own garden and it reminded me that often the most simple gifts are the best ones. 3. My beautiful friends @anna.liesemeyer , @solesearchingmamma and @marylenaburg have all recommended Kristin Harmel’s novel “The Stolen Life of Collette Maceau” so of course I had to get it! These friends never steer me wrong with books. Can’t wait to start this weekend! 4. Many of you know I’m a big fan of glue-on nails. The easiest, cheapest mani and they last me up to 3 weeks per set. The best ones of all time are the KISS brand nude acrylics with the milky pink finish. They look real and last forever. $6.99 at Walmart. 5. I found a little set of glass pumpkins with lids at Hobby Lobby for about $6 on sale. I put them in my kitchen next to the stove and filled them with salt and pepper. They are bringing me so much joy as I do my daily autumn cooking. 6. Speaking of autumn cooking, if you haven’t discovered Trader Joe’s autumn sauce yet you need to go get some! It’s fall in a jar and so versatile for quick, easy, delicious weeknight dinners. I serve it over all kinds of pasta concoctions especially on nights we are running out the door to sports. 7. Once a year I do a 5 day mini-series for my email subscribers on Autumn Favorites. Think 5 days of recipes, playlists, easy DIY and fall decor ideas, book recommendations and more. You can subscribe at the link in my profile so you don’t miss out when I send the first one on Monday! 🍁👌🏻🍂 What are you loving this week? And fun weekend plans? . . . . . #fridayintroductions

Gosh I love @stephanieweinert and man, I used to have so much fun with the weekly #sevenquicktakes and #fridayintroductions. Thanks for tagging me! Everyone, join in!! 1. I’m co-coaching three baseball teams (poor kids!) and we’re finishing up pee-wee basketball, and I never thought I would have so much fun! 2. Huge shout out to @wordonfire_catholicministries and @fabiolagarzacreates for this incredible book! Everyone needs one! 3. I have such a tendency to fall straight into health trends and then become so discombobulated with what is true and what isn’t. I may or may not have bought some red blue-light blocking glasses. You’ve been warned. 4. I do the same thing with parenting books as of late 🤦🏻‍♀️ the latest one I’m listening to - Bad Therapy. 5. I am ready for watermelon season. 6. I should start a re-sale shop of kids shoes that have been worn maybe 5 times before a new size is needed 🤪 7. I currently love Hu chocolate, audiobooks, looking through photo albums, planning for summer and agua fresh kombucha with salt and ice while I could forever leave behind chalk, slime, whining, bad attitudes and sweet foods that should only ever be savory (ham) 😉.

The Trifecta that shaped my homeschool vision and philosophy.... . And then a few years later I read “Real Learning” by @elizabethfoss and I had a clear roadmap sketched by women who had gone before me on this crazy homeschool journey. . For me the vision is the linchpin of homeschool success. The details and curriculum choices and lessons plans and daily rhythms fall into place naturally with a clear vision. Nobody has perfect lesson plans or a perfect homeschool. Not even these amazing authors and educators. But with a clear vision and roadmap for why you’re doing it, the less than perfect plans or books or rhythms don’t derail us as much. We know the imperfect offering of ourselves is serving a greater purpose and it holds us steady on the days we feel overwhelmed or unqualified or ready to quit. :) . If you are homeschooling or thinking about it, what’s the book or “trifecta” that has shaped you? Please share below - it will be such a beautiful resource for other women forming their own thoughts and vision! 💕 . . . . .

Good morning! We are so grateful for all of the incredible posts people have been sharing with us. Lately we’ve received the sweetest photos of your families out enjoying our trails, planting gardens, riding bikes, etc.. It is really touching, and although this has been a difficult time for many people we do hope that it has offered you the opportunity to slow down and enjoy time together as a family. We’ve certainly enjoyed seeing it. Thank you @__t.iffany__ , @laurelmuff , @littledove.justine, and @cheynebreyne for sharing these photos with us! It is greatly appreciated! Enjoy your weekend 🌿 #exploreauburnca #naturelovingcommunity #naturalbeauty #slowdown #thegoodlife #familytime #optoutside #trailtown #community #love #gratitude

We’ve so enjoyed seeing the uptick of photos being shared of families doing things together! Especially tending to their gardens - like this one shared by @laurelmuff releasing lady bugs in their garden. Did you know that releasing Lady Bugs helps to rid a garden of crop-damaging aphids, mealybugs and other destructive insect pests? #exploreauburnca #liveauthentic #liveyourbestlife #naturelovingcommunity #gardening #familytime #optoutside #slowdown #thesemoments #love #gratitude

Since we are on a roll with the recipes, here is another breakfast favorite...Jerry’s Overnight Oats. . . Jerry @grouchy_historian LOVES these, especially with blueberries. They are healthy and quite tasty. . . JERRY’S OVERNIGHT OATS . 1/2 cup old fashioned oats 1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk or combination of both 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt Dash of vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon ( I sometimes add in a 1/4 teaspoon of grounds cloves as well.) 1/2 teaspoon honey 1/2 an apple, chopped or berries of any kind . You can add in 2 tbsp walnuts or chopped pecans if desired. . Directions: Put all ingredients (minus apples and walnuts) in mason jar or container and mix well, making sure all oats are soaking in the milk. Then, top with apples and nuts but don’t stir them in. Put lid on and place in fridge. Oats will be ready in the morning to eat. Can be kept in fridge for 4-5 days. . **This recipe makes ONE serving. I make four or five and eat them the entire week. **These can be eaten straight from the fridge or can be warmed in the microwave, if desired. . . #breakfastideas #overnightoatmeal #budgetfriendlymeals #jerrysfavorite #oatmeal @quaker @califiafarms @siggisdairy #freshandflavorfulmeals
