Almost a new year- 2026… just around the corner.
I have been admittedly absent. We have had a lot of life transitions since my last post. We moved to our hopefully forever homestead- an old 1800s farmhouse that needed restoration from the foundation up… the foundation is firm and the interior livable but many more projects to continue the finishing and restoration progress.
In 2024 we added a new baby… a beautiful homebirth in our new old farmhouse. She is over a year now, walking, talking, and adding to the joy and busy-ness of life.
We still homeschool but have taken a different approach this past year. We discovered the Fun Schooling Curriculum by Learning Tree and have found it to be life changing! School is much easier for me as a teacher and for all of my students!
Early in 2025 my husband was formally diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, and Auditory Processing. While this was a lot- it also answered SOOOO many questions… and since that time we have realized that all six of our children are on the Neurodivergent spectrum. This means a lot of work for this mama bear, but also a lot more understanding as to why so much seemed hard and different from the ways that worked for everyone else.
Resets- we have basically spent the last year or so doing a full life reset. Resetting into a new home. Resetting our homeschool. Resetting our understanding and expectations. Resetting our homestead. Resetting our gardens. Resetting our Podcast. Resetting life.
As we enter 2026 we have much to be grateful for and much to look forward to. We have a new baby due in the Fall. We have hope in a bright future ahead… thanks for checking in on our journey!
