This past weekend was a three day weekend. On my way to meet my guy for lunch on Friday, my Uber driver asked if I had plans for the weekend. At the time, I told him I didn’t! When I got home, I decided I would clean my windows. I’m excited to share with you how to deep clean your windows!
As a homeowner, it’s fun to think about all the upgrades in my home that I would love to make! I started thinking about my windows. I thought about the possibility of replacing my blinds.
…Valentine’s Day is coming up! Are you ready? This year, I have one main Valentine’s and that would be my sweet son! My other Valentine’s would be the special guy I am dating. Both guys are very important in my life. I’ve learned to appreciate and cherish both of them in many ways. I am excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Let’s make Valentine’s Day Cupcakes!
It’s been years since I’ve been this happy! I am thankful for everything that we have. I am thankful for our home. I am also thankful I can return to college without loans! As an adult, I am trying really hard to stay organized and complete my assignments on time. I am currently juggling single motherhood, managing a household, managing a few blogs, and doing my school work.
…I am in the middle of the first week of college! It’s been quite an adjustment. I’m still trying to find a schedule that works for me, all while being a mom, blogger, and managing our household. We’re learning at home and I’m excited to explore more!
I am inspired to create more learning opportunities at home. My son loves helping me around the home.
He loves folding and putting his clothes away. He helps gather dirty towels and such when I ask.
He lends a hand whenever I ask him.
He enjoys helping me overall! He’s always eager to get involved!
When we’re at the grocery store or even out and about, I like to ask him questions. He usually has to point and identify items, identify colors, identify letters, etc. I like to have him “help” me find items at the store too!
When I volunteered in my son’s classroom, I got to see what and how they were teaching my son. I saw the activities and worksheets he was working on. I am amazed at what he can do!
I bought a few sets of flashcards for shapes and colors, subtraction, addition, and numbers. I also bought a calculator because they have him using a calculator at school!
They also use food menus and have him add up the total. So I can easily pick up several “take out menus” from local restaurants!
I hope to start creating lesson plans for him to work on a few times a week.
We’ve already started using the flash cards. I love seeing what my son already knows. Watching him work through the flash cards and using a calculator is exciting!
My college courses follow a schedule and I’m trying to stay organized by reading through the course syllabus too. Since I don’t have a printer, I have the documents saved in my computer. I may get a planner or a calendar to help me keep track of due dates! This way, I can write down when assignments are due and visually see them on a calendar!
I did buy highlighters and gathered an old notebook and pens. I upcycled a broken mug to use as a pen holder. I’ve been using the notebook to keep notes in. I wanted highlighters to use with my notes!
Obviously, there are still more college supplies I need. With textbooks and documents being online, I prefer to take notes and write things down. Writing information down helps me remember everything and have it available on hand.
Valentine’s Day is coming up! Celebrate with our Dried Roses Bath Bombs! These are so cute and perfect to enjoy! Relax and unwind with bath bombs!
I’ve been making my own bath bombs for a few months and just love being able to enjoy and pamper myself! I am on a budget, so buying my own supplies and making my bath bombs helps me enjoy a little treat without spending a fortune!
…My son and I live in a gated community. I feel very safe in the area we reside in. I love the neighborhood because we have a few shopping centers nearby. So, when I heard about a crime that happened inside our community, I felt our security was rocked!
Home is where you feel safe, secure, and happy with your family.
Our neighborhood is so convenient for our lifestyle. I have grocery stores, banks, coffee shops, restaurants, plenty of shopping, and even a few shipping/mail options all very close to us!
