All of the improvements to my original My Tech High Reimbursement Tracker!
When I started this post series it was under the assumption that most students would be back in their regular classrooms within a couple of weeks. However, as things are progressing it’s seeming more likely that families are going to need more long term educational solutions than just a couple of weeks. With that in …
I’m a major book junkie. I’ve loved reading ever since I learned how to read. I remember as early as first grade staying up regularly until 1am reading quietly in my bed. However, I’ve found that as a mother it’s much more difficult to justify snuggling up in a chair all day with a book – …
UPDATE 7/30/2020: After seeing a few requests for features I decided to rebuild this tracker almost completely so that it will support multiple students on the same workbook as well as making it a lot prettier to work with. It was a HUGE project but I’m pleased to announce that the result is live! I …
Recently I’ve seen lots of friends requesting favorite Instant Pot recipes. I’m going to guess that many of my friends (like me) got an Instant Pot for Christmas and are still learning how to use it. I always want to respond to my friends but my response (surprise, surprise) is longer than I really want …

We’ve come up with a pretty awesome solution that keeps the kids very happy for the long trips, without fighting, and without spending a fortune. So what we’ve done is purchased Kindle Fire Tablets (http://amzn.to/2taMVqj) …
My husband and I just returned from a 5 day 4 night trip to Hawaii and let me tell you – it was awesome. It was the first real vacation we’d taken since our honeymoon 8 1/2 years ago. We’d done overnight local getaways maybe 3 times and gone to family reunions/weddings/holidays and back to …
For those of you who know me personally this will not come as much of a shock, but here’s my confession for today – I am a terrible housekeeper. I really do try to keep up with the house but it just doesn’t happen. I am not someone who enjoys cleaning and trying to keep …
As Father’s Day approached this year I was excited to do something fun with my kids to give to their dad for Father’s Day. I *love* all the little questionnaires that you can find where you ask the kids questions about their mom or dad and then fill in the responses. The answers the kids …
We’ve all been there. You’ve gone onto Pinterest to pull up a recipe, or get an idea for FHE… and 2 hours later you realize you’re still there, pinning a million ideas that you’ll never get around to doing. Dinner’s still not made, you’re no closer to actually having an FHE lesson prepared and you …
As I was playing on Pinterest a few months ago I came across an idea for a Family Home Evening lesson using Angry Birds as a way to teach children to control their emotions. Since I have little children and a smartphone, Angry Birds is obviously something that gets played A LOT in our household …
