May Reading Wrap Up & Vlog – Reading Dekker, Mistborn, Voskamp and more!
Well, this was the first month where I did not finish my monthly TBR and the book I was most excited about is the one I didn’t finish! I forgot I don’t read as much as the weather gets warmer so I’ll need to figure out how to prioritize my reading and TBR this summer. The beginning of the month started out a little rough reading wise but got a LOT better! BOOKS MENTIONED The Dry Mistborn The Broken Way Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione Furthermore
Homeschool Q & A – With My Husband!
I get lots of questions about homeschooling and I decided to bring Jared in for a Q & A video because homeschooling does not fall completely on my shoulders, it’s something we do as we live life together as a family. In the video we are tackling these: how is unschooling going? what if your husband isn’t on board with homeschooling? what is your favorite part of homeschooling? how do you make sure you are following your local curriculum? how do we manage with extra curricular activities? how to we make individual Bible reading part of kids’ day? how do we homeschool while adjusting to a new foster care placement?…
Free Homeschool Vision Planner Guide Book – Updated!
Even though we recently switched to officially unschooling I still like planning. I’m in the process of reflecting on our last school year and will soon be planning for the next (though, to be honest, we learn all year round). Last year I made a homeschool vision planner guide book and it was well received and downloaded thousands of times, I am going to be using the vision planner again this year to do some planning for our year but first I wanted to make a few updates. The vision planner has now been updated and I can’t wait for other homeschoolers to use it to set a vision for…
May Garden Tour – Planting Our Backyard Garden Beds, Plus Composting Worms!
I thought it would be fun to document our garden this summer. Living in Saskatchewan we have a much later planting season than a lot of other places so we just got everything in the ground. We aren’t doing anything crazy in the garden this year but I love documenting it and seeing the plants grow and how much the trees grow from year to year.

Baking Gluten Free Banana Bread, Dehydrating Herbs & A Failed Gluten Free Sourdough Starter
This week I was doing some gluten free baking and herb dehydrating and decided to do a bake with me video. Also, I have my first attempt (and fail) at a sourdough starter. Since making the video I have decided I WILL TRY AGAIN! Ha, hopefully there will be a gluten free sourdough success video in the future. I have another post with the banana bread recipe but I’ll include it below as well. Here are some links from the video: banana bread recipe my food dehydrator homemade gluten free all purpose flour more gluten free recipes
Our Favorite Picture Books – Part One
I was inspired by Julie from The Kreke Family on YouTube to do a video sharing our favorite picture books since she has been sharing videos all this month in response to the homeschool challenge I have been hosting over on Instagram. As I went through the house and grabbed our favorites I realized we really don’t own that many of our favorite picture books, so this is going to be part one and in the future, when we can have access to the library again, I will do a part two and maybe three, four and five as well! I have done tons of picture book lists on the…
