Featured Bloggers:

Keeping the Family Connection Strong

This week we’re featuring kids and family connections from Herchel Scruggs of GymCraftLaundry.  Herchel is turning her attention from making a home back to the heart of the home–the family.

Herchel selected Why pursue domestic excellence? because it emphasizes mothers sharing their experience and strengths with other mothers.

The phrase “she doesn’t attention, she needs a connection” from 5 ways to make a genuine connection with your child hits way to close to home for many women.

Barbara Hoyer emphasizes the importance of Being Active with your Kids.  Personal fitness is a great goal but your kids will also benefit from being active!

Sometimes we forget quiet beauty of the ordinary day and it is great to be reminded.

Did you know there are ways to nurture the growth mindset?  Check out these tips.

Make sure you give Herchel some bloggy love on facebook and check our her site for some great kids activities and cheer her on in her fitness journey!

Ideas for Managing your Homeschool

This week Selena is featuring awesome resources for your homeschool on her blog Look We’re Learning. With dinosaur studies, DIY kinetic sand, paper plate crafts and parenting resources Selena has gathered some great resources. If you have a minute, stop by Look We’re Learning and show Selena a little bloggy love on Facebook.
