Dear Friends and Readers!!! This post will be my version of short and sweet. 🙂 Although I recently mentioned that once my kiddos were all in school, I’d then be embarking on my next academic venture; the stars aligned, I had hubby and kiddo support, I followed my intuition… and THIS WEEK, I have begun the journey towards Health and LifeContinue reading “A Note of Thanks!”

Workout To GAIN!
After graduating fifth grade, I remember looking at a photo of a friend and I, and thinking, “Oh my gosh! I am SO much bigger than her!”… and I was! I was always the tallest girl in my class, and I had “a bod” before many others my age. It was around this time, FIFTH.GRADE,Continue reading “Workout To GAIN!”
A Blog with a Purpose!
Hello, Friends! I hope this evening finds you relaxed and well. When I started this blog back in October of 2020, I was very honest about the fact that I had zero direction for where it would go. I simply knew two things; I wanted to write, and I wanted to connect. After my previousContinue reading “A Blog with a Purpose!”
Who Am I?
The night before my 13th birthday, I wrote in my journal of *all* the things I would change “tomorrow”, in order to FINALLY be my best self. Friends, I was 12 years old. I have struggled with finding joy through food, searching for “skinny” through exercise and starvation, and always striving for the infamous, “IfContinue reading “Who Am I?”
I’m Writing a Book!
Ever since I can remember, writing has been my thing. I.love.to.write! I remember writing books as a little kid, and reading them to my mom… asking her… “Do you think I could really publish this?” Needless to say, I’ve wanted to be a *published* author for a long time. Last week, after finishing the incredibleContinue reading “I’m Writing a Book!”

Hey There, Pacifying Chaos Readers! Happy New Year! How is everyone doing? How is everyone feeling? We’re more than three weeks into 2021, and this is typically the “make it or break it” point of those newly created resolutions. Does anyone make resolutions?

Still Around and Very Reflective
My Dear Readers and Friends… I hesitated restarting this blog for two reasons: 1) Time… who has it?! 2) My ever-changing thoughts and ideas about all things life. Since my last blog entry, G has started back face-to-face at school, we have decided to send E back… come January, we have celebrated two of myContinue reading “Still Around and Very Reflective”
Our Daily Schedule
Good Morning, Friends. Happy Saturday! As promised, I’m posting our Monday-Friday learning schedule. Now, keep in mind, I have my oldest, G, who is in first grade and is learning *virtually*. Then, there’s my middle, E, who I’m homeschooling through the first half of Pre-K. And finally, my youngest, L, who turned two in July.Continue reading “Our Daily Schedule”
“I’m a Healthy Person”!
I remember looking in the mirror, end of August, and thinking just how much I didn’t *identify* with that person looking back at me. I love exercise and fitness, yet I hadn’t worked out in MONTHS. I’m freakishly into good health and nutrition, yet we were ordering out almost daily and drinking *ALL* the adultContinue reading ““I’m a Healthy Person”!”
Welcome! Hop On & Join Me!
Hello, and welcome!!! I cannot express just how thrilled I am to officially have “kicked-off” this blog. My original plan was to focus primarily on school-related business; lessons, videos, skills learned, & how to balance multiple age groups at once. Because I am an experienced teacher with two degrees in education, this is a *comfortable*Continue reading “Welcome! Hop On & Join Me!”
