*Disclosure: We received a free week of British Soccer Camp for Olivia to attend in exchange for an honest review. All my opinions are 100% my own. Olivia attended the British Soccer Camp in Red Oak, NC during the week of June 25-June 29th from …
Well I know that must be a shocker for most of you. But we gave it a shot and I won’t talk bad about the school she was going to but it just wasn’t for her and us. We were already having issues with the …
I also love the other things that they have other things in this planner that makes it all worth having which other planners that I have gotten didn’t have. I love how it has yearly goals in the back for each child. Of course I only have one child but when the time comes to adopt and we homeschool that one then we will get to that point and we can homeschool more than one. This planner will be perfect for anyone who has more than one child. Also I love how it has an Attendance Chart in the back for each child. This is so much easier to keep up with the amount of days we do. So we need to do the 180 days each year and this is such an easier way to keep up with it. Plus we love to homeschool because we can homeschool on the weekends compared to public and private schools. Plus even when we go on Field Trips they are still considered school days for us because we are learning.
They Hey Mama! Print Schoolhouse Planner has a spot in the back of the book where you can put for each child, Books Read This Year. This will come in handy for us since we plan on using books as part of Olivia’s literature. This is something that will be wonderful for her and for me to keep up and a record of the books that we read and she reads as well. Plus this planner has a curriculum planning sheet which is pretty cool since I have never seen one before in a planner before. And I love the homeschooling contact list as well. Pretty neat considering that we are going to be doing different activities this coming school year. Plus this planner has many different helpful information as well! I love this planner and I will be using it each school year! Whats something even better? Please check out their Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Google+ pages.

Today was Olivia’s final day of Occupational Therapy! She has made it through 8 long months of going from not being able to even attempt to try new foods to trying them. She has gone from hating all veggies except for french fries (yes she …
Now that our school year is finished up for the year and Olivia will take her test for the 5th grade on June 7th in Wilson, I have already started gathering her books for next years curriculum. You can never be too prepared to have …
Olivia went to the Orthopedist last Thursday to see the fate of if she could walk on her foot yet or not. They took another x-ray of her foot to see how the healing process of it was going and to see if she was going to be able to walk on it or have to stay on the crutches some more. She got the go ahead to get rid of the crutches and to start walking on her foot. She was really scared and nervous to start doing so while there in the office so she waited until she was home to do so. She goes back to the Dr on June 3rd to see if she can get rid of the boot or if it needs to stay on for a few more weeks. She still has a lot of swelling and bruising within her foot and I thought that she would not have as much with the bruising. Especially since we are a month out from the accident happening.
Last Friday was her Homeschool Field Day and we were afraid she wasn’t going to be able to join in some of the activities and not have fun. She did get to join in several of the activies and she had a blast! She even met several new friends which was a fun time for her and there was another Olivia which was fun for both of them as they both were just a like. Crazy I know! Olivia even won 3rd place in the crab walk which was easy for her since she didn’t have to put any pressure on her foot. Just her heel. She has continued to make progress on her healing with her foot as she continues to heal slowly. Each day comes with a new challenge. Today she so far hasn’t had much pain but we also haven’t done much either which has been nice.
We also are finished with school and have been for several weeks now. She will take her final test for school on June 7th in Wilson for the State and there isn’t much she can do to prepare for it. She does however continue to work on math as it still is a challenge for her but she still loves it! Also we will continue to do it over the summer which works for us! Another thing is we plan on going to the local homeschool store to put all of our book up on consignment and look and see what books of ours didn’t sell from last year and take them home. Hopefully I will be able to sell them instead. 
Also going to look around tomorrow at a few new choices for next years curriculum choices as well. We are still debating on doing Abeka or BJU. Still not sure yet of which ones.
t’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 3 weeks since Olivia broke her foot! She returns to the ortho this Thursday to find out if she can start to walk on it or not. It’s been a long few weeks and it’s not been …
This past Thursday night, I had ask Olivia to go downstairs to get a flashlight just in case the power decided to go out. We were dealing with some pretty good thunderstorms and the power was flickering already. So it was just a matter of …
In the past few months we have been told by Olivia’s therapist that she needs a Service dog to help her with her anxiety and a few other issues she has. One is the sleepwalking issue where we normally will find her in random places throughout the house. We went to our best friends home last week and their Aussie got Olivia back into bed and laid on top of her so she wouldn’t move and we thought that getting one would be perfect for her until we started doing some additional research on them. While these dogs do make great therapy dogs, service dogs they can been a little too high strung for the training. It may been harder to train them compared to a Lab or a Golden Retriever so as much as we’d love to have an Aussie, Olivia has chosen to get a chocolate lab! The name she chose is super cute but we haven’t picked a puppy for her just yet. This is going to be a good thing for her because she has been needing a dog to help her through her social anxiety and other anxiety issues she has.
One reason we chose to go with a service dog and not a therapy dog is that we can take the service dog anywhere with us! That means that when we go to Disney World or anywhere else we need to go with her. This can be a good thing for her because when it comes time to putting her back into school, she can have a good school year with the help of her dog. A therapy dog we would not be able to bring anywhere with us unless it’s to therapy sessions but other than that no. Plus if we went on vacation and couldn’t take the dog then we would have to board it. Not fun at all. Yes we know we board Yoda all the time but he can been a little too wired to take on a vacation like camping or anything else. He has to be in his crate when we go over to other friends homes and this would not be fun for even our therapy dog to have to stay in one. So instead we decided that the service dog is perfect for our needs. I have researched on how to get the dog we get trained without having to go onto a wait list. This is a blessing for us and we are right now just looking at the breeders in the North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia area. If you know of anywhere or any breeder that comes to your mind within those areas please let me know!
I have been using my essential oils like crazy to try and stay healthy this winter but unfortunately I have fallen sick. Ugh. I finally went to the doctor today after being sick for 3 weeks and was told that I have a sinus infection …
