    How to Homeschool through the Holidays

    December 13, 2019

    How do you homeschool five kids, do all the gift giving, holiday activities, drive 16 hours to visit family, and also work part-time in several different jobs? Well, I’m here doing it, so it seems I must know the answer. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I do have some tips I’ve gathered up over the years. People say to me a lot, “I just don’t know how you do it all.” To be honest, sometimes I don’t either. But despite what people might think, my life is not hectic. I never think of myself as frazzled or…

Do you know where you can find this beautiful lobby? (AD) There are so many reasons to love Universal’s Endless Summer Resort, and beautiful spaces like this are certainly on the list. 😍 During our stay at @universalorlandohotels we made memories that will last a lifetime. And we can’t wait to go back!  This holiday, why not give the gift of a Universal Orlando vacation? 🎁

A few things about this throwback picture from our California trip this summer...
.
1. It’s my second picture in a row with my hubs. 😍 And I’m not mad about it. ❤️
.
2. Did you ever have a place that was so special, it was hard to share it on social media? This place is that for me. It’s the magical Fern Valley in the Redwoods and there was absolutely zero cell phone service. I’ve had this photo saved in my favorites for a long time, and it was finally time to share it. 🌿
.
3. This photo reminds me of the need to disconnect. Sometimes, it’s such a blessing to not have access to the outside world. Although I’m always thankful for modern technology and everything it brings, I also love having a chance to live fully in the moment, even if it’s forced! 😉
.
4. For your children, you need to be aware of their online activity (AD) Every photo they send, every text they share, can be saved and passed on limitless times. With @qustodiohq you can keep track of your children’s online activities, set time limits, and more. With the holiday season approaching, and more tech devices coming into your household, be prepared with @qustodiohq powerful monitoring software. ✔️👩🏼‍💻

There’s so much to love about @universalorlando all year round, but seeing it at the holidays is even more special! 🎄🙌🏼 (AD) From the parade to live entertainment and amazing nighttime spectaculars, there’s something for everyone. And there are so many beautiful photo spots like this in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. ✨ Remember, when you stay at a @universalorlandohotels you get early access to the parks to get the perfect shot like this! 🙌🏼 Be sure to check out my blog post on everything there is to enjoy at Universal Orlando this time of year! ❄️
