homeschooling with a newborn 👩🏽‍🍼📓 When I was pre homeschooling with a newborn 👩🏽‍🍼📓

When I was pregnant, the thought of homeschooling with a newborn made me nervous. I didn’t know how I was going to balance my time. But by the grace of God, homeschooling and adjusting to the newborn stage has been going well. Our days are NOT perfect and some days are rough, but we’re getting it done! Here’s what has been helping us successfully homeschooling with a newborn:

🌸I’ve been using the Wild Bird baby wrap! Baby boy is comfy and sleep when he’s wrapped. So during that time I’m able to teach.

🌸we’re prioritizing reading and math for a couple months. Reading.com has been a great resource and we use The Good and the Beautiful curriculum for math. Also we keep the lessons short. 

🌸we took a couple weeks off from homeschooling to just focus on adjusting as a family of 5. Give yourself grace during this time. 

🌸we get outside daily for stroller walks. During this time I can review what we’re learning. Also getting outside has been so refreshing being postpartum! 

🌸 I have the mindset that this is just a short season of the newborn stage. Our homeschool days look different and that’s okay #postpartum #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmomlife

I’m 3 weeks postpartum and most days I’m in athletic wear or pajamas but today I’m switching things up! The weather is beautiful and I’m in the mood for a spring inspired look. I decided on this blue stripped dress and my perfume is by Elizabeth Arden. This floral scent is perfect for spring and smells so good. During this postpartum season, I’m finding happiness in the simple things like putting on a pretty dress and taking a walk outside with my baby.

Protect your home with radon testing #radon #ad Protect your home with radon testing #radon 

#ad I’ve been a homeowner for 10 years! This is where so many memories have been made with my family. We are also a homeschool family, so lots of our days are spent at home. Something I didn’t know when we bought our home is that radon testing should be done before purchasing. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that’s harmful. Over time, breathing in high levels of radon can be harmful to your lungs. So we’ve been taking steps to make sure our home is protected. At-home radon testing kits are affordable and easy to use. Protecting your home means protecting the people you love. 

If you’re a homeowner or will be buying a home soon, make sure to test your home for radon! @lungassociation You can also get more information at lung.org with the American Lung Association

Spring is right around the corner and I love finding ways to give the rooms my home a simple refresh.  The natural sunlight is so beautiful in my dining room. These linen blend curtains from Homerilla really elevate the dining room. The color is ivory white which is the perfect neutral blend and the quality is amazing! Having some tea early in the morning is my favorite way to start my mornings.

Tips for Staying Healthy During the Holidays

woman sitting and relaxing focusing on staying healthy


This post is sponsored by Nature’s Bounty ® . All thoughts and opinions are my own. Always talk with your doctor before adding any supplements to see if they are right for you!
The holiday season is full of fun and festivities and staying healthy during the holidays is top priority! I love celebrating during this season with good food, sweet treats, lots of shopping, and quality time with family and friends! The holidays can be so busy that we forget to make our health a top priority. Staying healthy during the holidays is very important. Here are my top 6 tips for staying healthy during the holiday season.

1. Drink Plenty of Water

It’s important to stay hydrated during the cooler winter months. I typically have a bottle of water when I first wake up. Then I use my water tracker app on my phone to remind me to drink water throughout the day. Staying hydrated is essential to keeping your body healthy. Drinking water also flushes out toxins from your body.

2. Manage Stress

Of course the holidays are filled with a lot of fun and festivities, but they can be very stressful! Thankfully, taking Stress Comfort: Fast Acting Calm supplement by Nature’s Bounty ® can quickly soothe your mind when occasionally stressed.* The watermelon chewable Coolmelts™ are delicious and 100% drug free! I love that this supplement is also non-GMO, gluten-free, has no sugar and no artificial flavors. Another way I manage stress is by being intentional with my time and I try not to take on too much during the holidays.

3. Make Time for Exercise

It’s easy to neglect physical activity during the holidays because it’s cold outside and you have several other things on your to-do list. Nonetheless, daily exercise is crucial to good health. I like to do light exercise like yoga and going for a quick walk around my neighborhood. On other days when my schedule is busy, I borrow some of my husband’s fitness tools like his jump ropes so I can easily fit in a workout at home. Exercise truly gives me the boost I need for the day!

4. Morning Routine

I speak about the importance of a good morning routine often. Check out my blog post on 10 Morning Routine Habits. Your morning routine sets the tone for the rest of your day. I like waking up early before my kids so I can have quiet time. Having quiet time is important to stay mentally healthy. I would suggest creating a morning routine that consists of waking up early, having a healthy breakfast, and journaling. I also keep my Nature’s Bounty® Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies next to my coffee mugs so I remember to take them every morning. These scrumptious raspberry pomegranate flavored gummies don’t have a strong vinegar taste so I can enjoy the benefits of the ACV gummies without the dreaded taste of liquid apple cider vinegar! I love that the ACV is made with vinegar that contains the Mother and sourced from U.S. grown apples, plus they have Vitamin B-12 to support my energy metabolism by converting my food into energy.*

5. Night Time Routine

Getting enough sleep is so important. Sometimes I consider myself a night owl because after my kids go to sleep I tend to stay up really late watching TV and/or doing business tasks. After some time, I realized that not getting enough sleep is not good for my health and I had to establish a good nighttime routine. At a predetermined time each night, I turn my phone off and relax in my bed until I go to sleep.

6. Self-Care

We have to make ourselves a top priority especially during the holiday season. There are a lot of different forms of self-care such as spiritual, mental, and physical self-care. Recently, I realized it would be important to look into supplements that help support my hair, skin and nails! I love that Nature’s Bounty ® Advanced Hair Skin & Nails supplements are gummies because they’re easy to take as a part of my nighttime self-care routine. Taking care of your body with proper rest, hydration and nutrition can help you to look and feel healthier and beautiful. Supplements specially formulated for Hair, Skin, and Nails can help fill any nutritional gaps in my diet to support beautiful hair, glowing skin, and healthy nails.*


Staying healthy during the holidays should be a top priority. Adding the Nature’s Bounty ® supplements into my daily routine has been so helpful to my health. All the Nature’s Bounty ® supplements are available at Publix and during the 12/18-12/31 Extra Savings promotion you can save $3! *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
