My Name is Deanna and I am a “Glamper”

I was one of those lucky kids that grew up taking road trips and going camping. I loved it! Sometimes my dad would just wake us up and we would hit the road! Don’t worry, we weren’t running from the law. My dad is just the adventurous hippy type. Some of my very best memories as a kid are these trips we used to take. We didn’t always have a destination but we always had fun! We slept in tents, our car and sometimes questionable motels. It was amazing! I got to see and learn so many amazing things as a kid because of these spontaneous trips.

Teaching Your Children To Fly

Teaching Your Children To Fly

Raising your children can be really difficult. Letting them fly is an emotional roller coaster that I’m not sure you can ever fully prepare yourself for. You spend so much time teaching and preparing them for what lies ahead. So many years are spent providing lessons that will allow them to reach the next level of growth.

Attacking Homeschooling Head-On

Attacking Homeschooling Head-On

I have an amazing job! I get to stay home and care for my family, which includes homeschooling my six year old daughter. I am a teacher by trade so you would think this would be the easiest job in the world for me. That, however, is not always the case. In some ways I feel even more pressure than I did when I was a classroom teacher.

Lately my daughter’s favorite thing to play is library. She will sit by her little bookshelf for hours, where she organizes, makes signs, and offers books to anyone that happens to go by. She even has a little librarian badge that she made herself! It didn’t take long before it was clear that we needed to expand on this area of play, especially when she started letting her friends borrow her books. So we got to work creating a neighborhood sharing library for her.

November 17: National Take a Hike Day Go Take a Hike!

November 17: National Take a Hike Day Go Take a Hike!

Take a hike! Today is National Take a Hike Day! We live in the beautiful state of Colorado so fortunately this is something we can do often. Today will not be one of those days as we are currently experiencing blizzard conditions, brrrrrrrr! I think we will sled instead!This day is celebrated annually on November 17. Hikes are distinguished from walks as they are taken in mountainous areas, woods or nature settings. This day could also be used to literally to tell someone to “take a hike”! I suggest taking a deep breath and just going out in nature. It always makes me feel better!
