The End of an Era (Again)
During the summer of 2015, I happened upon a UGA-System human resources page that had a link to a part-time English/Humanities position at a school I’d never even heard of. Without a lot of thought, I read the job description, uploaded a cover letter, my CV, and applied for the job. I don’t even Continue reading

2016-2017 Homeschool Resources
Every year I try to type up a post of what we plan to cover for the year, if not a complete curriculum list. I didn’t have the forethought to do it for 2011-2012. (I did, however, have the forethought to buy a denim jumper and fix my hair like Michelle Duggar and write about Continue reading

I wanted to take a moment to document our summer and reflect on my gratitude for a wonderful few months. Way back in May, Ryan had to travel to Hawaii for work. We purchased my airline ticket out of pocket and I enjoyed a week on Oahu with my sweetheart. I wrote about it here Continue reading

In 2015, I committed to a project and series for my blog called Teach Them Diligently.

Experiment Update || 01 ||
Well, I am officially one week into my little experiment of examining my values and making sure that my time reflects what I am aiming to pursue. So far I have felt a huge sense of freedom.

Does My Life Reflect My Values?
This is a question that has been floating around in my mind for several weeks now. In fact, it is a question I often consider as seasons change and when I find myself feeling stuck, discontent, or sliding into a funk. As my school year draws to a close and the pace of life is Continue reading

Tellus Museum
On our way back home from our Tennessee trip during spring break, I took the kids to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA. It did not disappoint. We are no strangers to science museums (or any other type of museum). And as our children are getting older, we walk a fine line of finding Continue reading
