By Chelsea on Wednesday, February 20, 2019

Beauty is a $445 billion (sales) industry. In the sea of YouTubers and Beauty Bloggers, it’s easy to get lost and confused about what products really work and what products will work right for you.

Girls for the Vote is a Historical Fiction novel a Girls for the Vote is a Historical Fiction novel about a girl befriending two women who are looked down upon in their apartment building because they are single and opinionated. They are suffragettes and teach the young neighbor why their voices matter.
They protest and get arrested in their efforts to establish our right to vote. A great discussion starter.

Stella by Starlight is a young inspired writer trying to find her voice. You will experience life as a child during segregation. The fear of family and friends being tormented by the K4K, the magic of community, and the frustration and bravery to fight against the systemic oppression preventing black people’s right to vote. A must read for middle graders.

When you homeschool cosplay kids it’s hard not to When you homeschool cosplay kids it’s hard not to play along. The Eye of Sauron. My armor corset and arm guards are made from 100+ sticks of hot glue molded in a resin mold and hot glued together with a resin finish. I want to make one of these in every color! The headpiece is cardboard and the eye is just cellophane heat treated with a skewer through the middle to hold it in place. This cosplay was so fun to wear for the FanCon anniversary celebration of LOTR 👁️ one young gal stopped me and asked if I was the villain from LEGO Batman 😂 one man joked I was “the original flock camera”…

Of the 20 Middle Grade, Chapter Books we read a lo Of the 20 Middle Grade, Chapter Books we read a loud in 2026 my favorite was The Girl Who Drank the Moon. We read this on audiobook while traveling and it was so beautifully narrated. A truly beautiful and engaging read. The Wings of Fire series is much more graphic than I thought it would be, violent and gory, we also listen to them all on audiobook, pre-read for your more sensitive kiddos. It was so much fun reliving classics like Anne of Greene Gables, Bridge to Terabithia, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. A random conversation lead to a deep dive of Tourette’s and the reading of The Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus, also a great narration on audiobook. What were some of your family’s favorite reads in 2025? 
📖 10 yo Favorites were: 
1. Anne of Green Gables
2. Winterhouse
3. Bridge to Terabithia
📚 12 yo Favorites
1. Verity Vox and the Curse of the Foxfire

Christmas whimsy at @hahnreindeerfarm! Our family Christmas whimsy at @hahnreindeerfarm! Our family had so much fun learning all about reindeer and how beautifully fascinating and complex they are. An animal that seems exotic to us, but is as common as cow in the Nordic region. The kids loved feeding and petting the reindeer, donkeys, and horses. If you’re in the Northern Colorado area add this experience to your Winter Bucket List! 🦌✨

Some of the reasons I choose to homeschool are to Some of the reasons I choose to homeschool are to ensure my kids learn social emotional skills, critical thinking, the beauty in culture, connection to spirit, nature, and self, and real history the first time. I’m raising kids who will love and care for your kids- no matter what. #raisingkindhumans #homeschoolfamily
Moms everywhere are trying to hold it together whe Moms everywhere are trying to hold it together when inside we feel like a teapot about to blow. It can feel like we’re drastically under-reacting for those us not in the heart of crisis in Chicago, DC, Portland or Los Angeles, feeling unable to move this energy in a physical, measurable way. There’s not a lot to do physically where I live. I will continue to show up in other ways but it just never FEELS enough, but ALL of it counts. ALL of it matters. When we make intentional choices to do anything in resistance, we are making change. So much thanks, and so many blessings to those there, on the ground, putting themselves in harms way, taking the physical risks. We see you. We’re cheering for you 🫶🏻
