What I’m Loving & Reading in January 2019
What I’m loving Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer I got this hair dryer for Christmas and it has been revolutionary for my hair.

Restarting school in the new year & a free homeschool planner
I wanted to quickly share this free printable homeschool planner from Lara Casey. It looks beautiful and seems so practical not only for the day-to-day notes but also for goal setting.

How we are doing summer
School ended for us in mid-May and we’re now a few weeks into our summer break. I needed the break from our school year routine probably more than my kids did! During our summer break, I do a ton of reading, random household stuff I have put off, park days, swimming, and play dates with …
