2020 has everyone confused, scared, changing how they live and do things daily. With all the changes many people (myself including) have chosen to start homeschooling.<br>
If you are considering homeschooling but are overwhelmed and don't know where to start I hope this post will help you. This is a compilation of resources and information explained to make it simple (hopefully) for newbies like myself as I start on the home school journey.<br>
<br>
Since I will be doing home school for my girls anyway I will share what we do on this blog to help anyone else with ideas etc. Be sure to like our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/atozformomslikeme" target="_blank">facebook page</a>, and subscribe to our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/atozformomslikeme" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a> so you don't miss out on any ideas.<br>
<br>
For starters, here's some explanations and resources below:<br>

It seems that everyone is living in fear & panic over Covid-19 right now. And no matter how serious you think it is or isn't, you will more than likely still have to deal with the ramifications of the panic of others. But don't stress, that's why I wanted to give you a few gifts and help you.<br>

My son has been a rubik's cube fanatic for the last 6 months or so, he even did a regional competition last month. He probably owns over a dozen different types of cubes (I had no idea there even were different types- but then again my only experience with them is the one my brother had growing up that I think he peeled the stickers off of when he couldn't solve it)<br>

If you are trying to make your food budget stretch one of the best ways is to find ways to make 1 meal stretch into multiple meals.<br>
Turkey dinner night one means the next day: turkey sandwiches, turkey soup (can be multiple meals)<br>
Turkey soup is pretty easy to make and like all soups it is cheap and can feed a LOT. This video shows step by step instructions how to use the leftover turkey bones & scraps to make a delicious soup!<br>

You've probably seen signs and things on pinterest that look super cute and professional and thought "how do they do that?!?" I know I did until I learned how- now it's my turn to show you! It does use vinyl- BUT the stickers don't stay on (and sometimes peel off) Watch this short tutorial video that shows how you paint a professional looking sign using vinyl stickers...<br>

Are you starting to think about some goals you want to achieve next year? We are super excited to share with you a new adventure! We have combined my book "Little by Little" and our program we shared here on the blog a few years ago "52 weeks of Awesome" and have now created a facebook group to motivate, inspire, and support you in reaching your goals by giving simple tasks each week to get you closer to your ultimate goals.<br>

My house has been somewhat bare and lacking celebration for the holidays, and it was time to fix that! This year I started hosting a monthly DIY Pinterest Craft night at my house. These are the crafts we made for Thanksgiving. </div>

This idea occurred to me the other week, I don't know why I haven't tried this before!! My family loves lasagna, however it's a lot of time to assemble, so usually when I make it I'll make 3-5 of them and freeze them. Then this idea hit me, and it was SO easy I'm not sure I'll go back to making it the traditional way. Here's how to make it-<br>

I was so excited to review something from Mama's Jewelry this year! Growing up my mom had a ring with each of us kids' birthstones on it. I always loved the idea and thought one day I would like one as well. Since I wasn't sure until recently if I was done having kids or not, this idea wasn't really an option, but now that I'm 99% sure I'm done (barring any celestial intervention), it was a good time to get a ring symbolizing all 6 of my kiddos. And it's a good thing too because these rings can only be customized for up to 6 stones anyway- it's like it was meant to be haha!<br>

At the ABC Kids expo I'm always able to see some amazing products, some are new companies, some are companies you know well and have prototypes of new products coming out. This Panasonic baby monitor is one of the awesome products I was able to see, and now review! It was just released in April, so we were one of the first ones to be able to try it out. Here's our 2 cents-<br>

I have worked from home for years now and there have been lots of learning lessons along the way. Through trial and error I've learned some of the best ways to use time management, networking, advertising, and staying ahead of the ever changing trends. If you've ever been interested in working from home but don't know where to start, this course is the solution!<br>

We recently purchased a camping trailer and although it is in REALLY great condition and doesn't need any work, we are going to fix it up with our own personal touches and updates to make it a little more updated in colors etc. We are excited for some new adventures this Summer!
