DIY IKEA GERBY Bookshelf Hack

Last week we featured Aliceana's Avenger's themed bedroom makeover, today we're sharing our DIY IKEA GERBY Bookshelf Hack. Before Aliceana even knew we were surprising her with a ridiculously awesome bedroom she kept saying how much she wanted a nice bookshelf for all of her books. Our project was getting expensive fast and I didn't really want to splurge on an expensive ...

Avenger’s themed bedroom makeover

April 28, 2019 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

One thing that's clear about parenting is that your children will always grow and their interests will change. For Aliceana's birthday we really wanted to make her room into her own space that she would feel comfortable in. Being homeschooled, she spends more time at home than most kiddos, and I wanted to make sure she had a place that was as relaxing as possible. AJ and I have ...

Homeschoolers Guide to Scholastic Book Club

December 28, 2018 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

Recently we joined the Scholastic Book Club, I'm not affiliated with the Scholastic Book Club, I just love the nostalgia it brings and it definitely takes me right back to the elementary classroom in the 90's. I think that might be where I became a frugal shopper. I can almost hear 8 year old me saying, "Look at all these books for under $3, if I get a few of those books I'll ...

The 5K run and the 6-year-old

August 20, 2018 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

I turn 28 in 10 days, and if you saw way back in January I made a goal, or I guess since it was January it might as well be called a resolution, to complete a 5k by my 28th birthday. Well, I did it, I completed a 5k! It didn't go according to plan, but I got through the finish line. AJ and Aliceana joined me on this 5k and we did it together as a family. It was actually a ...

Hiking at Cave Point Park | Door County, Wisconsin

August 6, 2018 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

We took a day trip to Door County and after we had amazing bbq at Casey's we went for a hike. It's an incredible hike on rocky cliffs that lead straight down to Lake Michigan. We took Watson with us and he had so much fun navigating the trails. The trails are full of tree roots and rocks so you have to carefully plan out each step you take. At one point Watson randomly lunged ...

Free resources we’re using to learn Spanish while unschooling

June 25, 2018 by Brittany Belling Leave a Comment

Aliceana is almost 6 and I figured it would be the perfect age to start learning Spanish. The only problem is I don't know any Spanish aside from the words that everyone knows, uno, si, fiesta, taco, and other extremely basic vocabulary words. So I'm definitely not the best person to be learning Spanish from. So we'reworking on learning Spanish together and it's actually really ...
