    8 Tips for Filing your Own Taxes

    January 3, 2017 - By Emma May

    I was so blessed as a teen. I was part of a wonderful program my high school offered for underprivileged kids to work, and learn life skills in the summer, and even through out the school year. That first year in the program they gathered us together and helped us how to file our own taxes. The next year I took accounting and learned so much more. I have been filing my own taxes since and I am grateful that I can do it on my own time. No lines, appointments, or extra stress. In fact our taxes are already done…

    May 24, 2016 - By Emma May

    I rock the mom bun. No hiding it. With two toddlers it helps keep my hair on my head where it belongs I loose enough with my PCOS.

    Mom’s Best Friend DIY Shower Cleaner

    May 19, 2016 - By Emma May

You would think basic cleaning would keep the mess away as the shower constantly has water running through it. Nope. Somehow it gets dirty just as often and the toilet which as we all know is made for rather dirty things. This DIY shower cleaner makes things so much easier. I hate spending hours scrubbing the shower to get soap scum off and the dirt that sticks to it as the children come in sticky,…

    Logic of English Essentials Review

    March 29, 2016 - By Emma May

    This review was a little different for us. You see I am dyslexic, a writer, and a homeschooling mother. How’s that for a combination? I jumped at the chance to review Logic of English language arts curriculum Essentials 2nd Edition. A chance to learn what elementary school teachers had deemed not worth teaching me. A chance to try something new that may just mean the difference between learning what I want or continuing to rely on spell check like my teachers told my family I could get through life doing. It is safe to say they never imagined I would be…
