Our Good Life

Hello friends! Welcome to Our Good Life, where we share everything that can and will happen in a large blended family. We are super blessed to have three daughters and two sons – and life here is loud and crazy and constantly on the go. Add in our sweet foster kiddos and life can zoom from 0-180 in no time!! From medical issues and therapies to robotics, vet classes and American Heritage Girls, we are always on the go. We love searching for fun new places to explore as a family, but our favorite place to visit is Disney World!

Let’s be honest – parenting can be super hard most days. Not only are we raising our kids, we are juggling laundry, dishes, diapers and housework, but we’ve decided to take life to the next level by homeschooling too. I don’t know about you, but there are days when I’m totally sure I’m messing up my kids – but then we have those amazing days where everything goes right and lessons click!

I’m all about keeping it real and sharing what happens, day in and day out here, messy and all. Believe me, with lots of kids there is always something getting spilled or needing to be cleaned up! I’ve learned that laughter is easier than tears and that most messes really aren’t that bad….unless they involve glitter. That takes messes to a whole new level!!

Here you will find parenting tips and hacks to make your life easier; homeschool materials that we love and are kid approved; tips for surviving and thriving in Classical Conversations and travel tips for Disney World and beyond.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a mug of tea (or coffee if you prefer) and let’s get ready to do all the things that need to get done!
