Double, Double, Toil, & Trouble 

By Chelsea on Thursday, October 22, 2015

While the Southern California weather only gave us a sneak peek at fall weather, I’m still in a haunting spirit! I’m not a zombie or gore girl, but you’ll still find some small trinkets of spook around the house…           Some patchwork pumpkins and acorns sit playfully with a mini gargoyle and a pair …

Sister’s Sprinkle

By Chelsea on Monday, October 19, 2015

For our first baby we had the big co-ed Baby Shower. Having another girl, we still have everything we need, so it felt silly to have a second shower. However, I still wanted to celebrate our little sister. I wanted a beautiful stress-free day with all the ladies that have been there for Cora and …

Wet Nights

By Chelsea on Tuesday, October 13, 2015

We are finally sleeping through the night, most every night! YAY! If you’re not there yet, hang in, it eventually happens. Cora started sleeping through the night a little over 1 year old. Unfortunately she would wake up at the crack of dawn, usually soaking wet due to an overflowing diaper. She likes to drink …

Couldn’t Love Anything More

By Chelsea on Friday, September 18, 2015

As I spend my last days with Cora as my only child, I am left in total panic. I love her so much, how could I love another? Then I freak out, what if I love Baby Sister more? It feels impossible to love more than one child at the same time, the way I …

Pregnancy the Second Time Around

By Chelsea on Monday, August 31, 2015

My first pregnancy was majestic and exciting. A whole new world of mystery. Hormones raging, emotions off the charts. With the world of social media pressure to take belly pictures weekly, have a picture perfect nursery, and a baby shower that takes as much planning as a wedding, the first pregnancy was overwhelming. This time …

Pregnancy Survival

By Chelsea on Wednesday, August 19, 2015

Pregnancy is a magical time, full of what can be really difficult body changes. As your muscles and organs expand to support the growth of the baby, new pains and troubles come into play. My skin goes crazy during pregnancy. I have to force myself to drink more water to prevent additional breakout, but then …

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.

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 🫶🏻

What song is your family dancing to? Music is one What song is your family dancing to? Music is one of the most powerful mood boosters, emotional regulators, thought provoker, and form of expression. It aids in ability to learn and comprehend literature and math. Dance is a powerful act of tradition, interpretation, communication, seduction, joy, integration, expression, culture, rebellion, intimacy, and self confidence. Using music in different ways daily to enhance our learning and connection is an essential part of our unschooling. Learning choreography is fun but not necessary to experience these benefits.
