By Chelsea on Tuesday, July 18, 2017

I’m an active member of the local MOMs Club chapter and we have a lot of mom bonding over simple meals and inexpensive wine. I’m not mad at the pizza and salad spread most nights. I’m more there for the company than the food. Not having to feed my littles or clean my kitchen is …

Relieve Your Family’s Stress

By Chelsea on Sunday, July 9, 2017

I love living near the beach. I know I take it for granted. It’s my favorite place to be despite my love-hate relationship with sand. Sand in my shoes, in my car, in the girl’s hair and diapers. I like a nice quiet morning sitting on the beach, drinking a coffee, watching the dolphins dance …

Summer is the time for vacay travel, Wooooooohooooooo! I’m not going anywhere really exciting this year, but I live in a highly popular vacation destination area.

Celebrity Sightings

I’ve lived in the LA area of Southern California for many years now. One of the things many people who have recently moved here ask me, is where to go to see the celebs? Sure you could spend the whole night at a late night variety show taping, or lunch at the Ivy. You’re always bound …

Love the One You’re With

By Chelsea on Tuesday, June 13, 2017

My husband and I don’t always communicate effectively on a daily basis, but one of the reasons we have been happily together for 17 years is we listen to each other when it really matters. Becoming parents has made us both ridiculously happy. Cora is 3 now, Bexley is 1.5, and we still don’t have it figured out. With …

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
2. Wildoak 
3. Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus

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.
