Things They Are A Changing!

In case you couldn't tell; things are really changing!


I had a lot of down time today with a sick little kiddo in the house and while I mostly sat around on the couch next to him I worked on my blog-- A Lot!


I have changed a few design pieces and while I don't LOVE it just yet it is something I'm going to keep working on as I get a few moments here and there until I have a design that I just love and am truly proud of.

I'm getting into coding and learning as I go so please be patient with me.  The final "this is it! My blog is done" day may be a good long time in the making so I hope you all bear with me while I keep plugging away a bit at a time.  Making small changes here and there.

Today's biggest change was bringing over all my crafting posts. 


I did figure out how to merge both of my blogs into one so I brought over all my crafting pages and posts and I hope you all enjoy them just as much as my usual content.

I am trying to add more of "me" into my blog.

While this is first and foremost a homeschooling blog I also have lots of ideas of other things I really want to start to writing about and incorporating.  


I already blog a bit about myself here and there (usually with my 52 lists project), sometimes I include recipes or home organization tips and I often think that I'd like to include more of those types of things; appeal to a broader audience.

I will never forget that I started out with the goal of documenting our homeschooling journey and I promise to still bring you lots of great homeschooling ideas, information, and support but I'll be sprinkling in some ideas about homemaking, parenting, crafting, and life too.

So tell me; what do you all think?!

I know it's not perfect- I still have a few glitches to work out.  I noticed that if I click on any links from my crafting pages (either where I linked up with linky parties or from Pinterest) they only bring me to the Unschooling Journey's homepage; which I don't want.  But I'm working on it.  I know there has got to be a way and I WILL figure it out.

Do you like the changes so far?

I'm trying to lighten the blog up, make it more cohesive, and bring a bit more uniformity to my main page.

    I love the blues and greens, actually your new color scheme is a lot like one I'm planning for my blog. Great job merging two blogs! I moved from Blogspot to self hosted Wordpress years ago and never got my blogger posts migrated over.

    Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday Linkup. Pinning to our linkup board and hope you found some great posts to visit this week!

      I always find lots of great posts to visit thank you for hosting and for visiting! I'm definitely partial to blues and greens so I couldn't resist using a lot of those shades!

    I don't think we ever reach the point where we can say "the blog is done!" I guess progress, not perfection is the goal for me. Best wishes and blessings, Janet

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Friday Favorites: Girls Trip to Nashville Days 1 & 2

Image
By far my favorite part of the week was my girl's trip to the Nashville/Franklin area of Tennessee!  Last Friday I landed in Nashville, Tennessee around 3 pm after an easy morning commute and flight (made so easy because I had no car and my mom drove me to the airport dropping me off curbside). I was meeting up with some blogging friends in real life:  Marilyn from Memphis Bridges,   Jennifer from Overflowing with Thankfulness,  and Tanya from The Other Side of the Road.   By the time I had even picked up my bags I had gotten a text from Marilyn and Jennifer that they were parking the car.  We met up in baggage claim and they had made the cutest welcome sigh for both me and Tanya.  We had a few minutes before meeting up with Tanya and then headed to our rental house in Franklin.  It was adorable and in a lovely little quiet area.  Tanya brought a cute little gift bag of goodies for each of us; seriously these ladies are just the sweetest and I am so, so glad I decided to fly off

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
