Reduce Stress and Reconnect with your Kids
Winter break was a welcome treat for me and my family. My kids and I needed it. Badly. Like many other parents, I spend most days doing schoolwork, shuttling kids around to activities, running errands and trying to keep up with the chores. When we started homeschooling last year, I thought we would be less pressed for time. That just isn’t the case. Before Winter break I found myself struggling to keep up. I was irritable and anxious. My kids were seeing a lot of “Grouchy Mommy”. Over the break I realized that I needed to back off of our schedule and take breaks for us to reconnect. We were…

Tips for taking mini-breaks during your busy workweek!
You know how it is, you push yourself all day long and find around 3 o’clock you are done. At least you would like to be done for the day, but as a busy parent that isn’t likely! I remind myself to take little breaks throughout the day because sitting in front of the computer all day is just not good for my health. I heard something along these lines that “sitting all day is for our generation is what smoking was for previous generations.” Basically, if you have a job that requires you to sit most of the day, be sure to get up and move around from time to time! …

A Journey to the Heart of Angkor Wat, Cambodia
For my 16th birthday, we explored the incredible and enchanting ruins of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Built hundreds and hundreds of years ago, Angkor Wat is the biggest religious complex in the world and has tons of temples, many of which are hidden and swallowed up by the jungle. I had always wanted to visit Angkor Wat and was so excited to be spending my birthday there. Even though we were there for a total of 6 days, we barely scratched the surface and there were so many temples we never got to see. To move around easily through the complex, we hired a tuk tuk driver to…
