Homeschool with Moxie
These posts will help give you actionable solutions and ideas for dealing with all the homemaking responsibilities we have as homeschool moms. Definitely check out our chore system and why I don't do laundry (and you shouldn't either). You'll also find posts about crafts, productivity, and finances here.
We enjoyed getting away to White Head Island in the Bay of Fundy. The rugged beauty of this secluded destination is just perfect. And having family there gives us the best reason for a visit. Time seems to stand still as life ebbs and flows with the tides and ferry schedule. There are beaches that dazzle the eyes with beautiful… Read More
With several years of experience as an etsy shop owner and over 1600 sales, I hope to inspire and encourage you to take the plunge and open your own shop if you’ve ever thought about it. I know that I played with the idea in my mind for several months before jumping in. Sometimes you just need a little nudge. Consider… Read More
I have been selling on etsy since 2012. What began out of necessity as we were needing extra income to help start the adoption process soon turned into a great part-time job for me. I have had countless friends ask me about running an etsy business, so I know there are people out there who are curious. So from the perspective… Read More
Our daughter came home to us from Ethiopia wearing 12 month sized clothes even though she was 19 months old. But once she settled in and learned to trust us and try new foods, she quickly filled out. Many beautiful outfits have only fit her for a one-time-wear because of how fast she’s put on weight! What to do with… Read More

God has rescued her from so much already and we can’t wait to see the story He will continue to write for her life. Thanks to all who… Read More
This project combines a lot of things I love — maps, upcycling, paint, chevron, burlap, and bold color. I turned a 50 cent yard sale puzzle from this… …into this! And you can do it too! Yard sale season is here, and you’re bound to find some sorry little puzzles that just need a good upcycle. Gather your… Read More
Our Anna Rakeb has been home from Ethiopia for just over 2 weeks now. Lots of firsts, new experiences, and bonding going on at our house. And I forgot how many messes toddlers can make in ten seconds flat! Now that we’re at the end of the adoption journey, we can look back and see how God provided the finances…. Read More
She’s home!
Many, many thanks to our friends and family who have supported us in this journey through encouragement, prayers, financial gifts, and many other ways. Many of you have been following the progress of our puzzle fundraiser on Facebook this week. We have been humbled by the amazing response and it is with thankful hearts that we announce that this final… Read More
{Here’s Day 1, 2, 3 & 4} The purpose of this trip to Ethiopia was to, of course, finally meet our sweet girl. But this trip is called the “Court Trip” because we officially and legally in Ethiopia went before a judge and adopted her! She is our daughter now, even though we are home and she is still in… Read More
