What’s this site…and Stephanie?
If you’re new around here, this website started as an outlet for me, a mom of five, homeschooling and doing life. Then there was a HUGE tech issue in which all the blogs were vanished by the person who was supposed to keep them saved. *weep*
Fast-forward several years and it was all about sharing clean and delicious meals that were easy and accessible for busy families. This approach truly simplified cooking while supporting my family’s allergy-friendly needs, still a focus for me today. The company I represented closed. *weep*
As more of our children grow and fly the coop (with masterful kitchen skills), I have a little more time to get back to blogging about the adventures that fill my days. Sometimes that’ll be food, and sometimes navigating the health challenges associated with perimenopause. It may be homeschooling and it may be scrapbooking or the value of networking. Some days it’s about supporting older parents or a loved one with dementia (*more weeping*).
It’s just my life. And there’s plenty of rejoicing throughout! But sometimes isn’t life (the weeping and rejoicing) more fun with a friend who just gets it or has been there. So I’ll get to blogging, we’ll both grab a cup of coffee, and let’s talk exercise, kids, oils, movies, curriculum, and more!
Life is brighter when done together, and I’m here for it!
A Few of My Favorite Things
I’ll drink it if there’s enough in it!
Do you like drinking your calories? I don’t, never have. My fourth pregnancy did a number on my innards. In 2016, I was able to drink one shake instead popping a gazillion supplements to keep things straight. In 2024, Magic Scoop gave me even more with greens, probiotics, and adaptogens. It’s been a game changer for my energy, too!
Yes, I’m frugal, but curious, intrigued & willing to try!
The challenges of our maturing bodies (i.e., hormones baby!!) are something fierce! The challenges of life whatever season, actually. When offered a health & wellness solution with strong scientific backing, I’m probably gonna try it. The NuSkin products satisfy that quality/research itch for me.
Are weights & dance really a workout?
Did you know the type of exercise you do during menopause or even your cycle matters? Add to that I like variety in my workouts, and I don’t like leaving the house just to sweat. With Les Mills, I can scale up or back the intensity and time of my workout depending what my day holds. I don’t dread my workouts, and I feel great and encouraged every time!
I’m not really an Oily Mom, but apparently I am!
Home educators used to have a denim skirt stereotype that I think was traded in for oozing essential oils! Most of my friends (homeschool and otherwise) are oily-er than me. But when the friends of my adult children started consulting me on oils for everyday uses… Well, okay, maybe I’m deeper into the fractionated coconut oil than I realized.
