My husband is more of a coffee drinker, but I've been able to convince him to enjoy some tea with me.  I was so thrilled when I saw an advertisement for Sipsby ! I saw that they offer personalized tea subscription boxes. Of course, after seeing this, I went and checked them out. I love that they have a quiz that you can take so that you are matched with the perfect teas that are made just for you. Doesn't that sound wonderful? I mean, honestly, each month you get to explore different teas, and each time it is such a fun surprise!   My Sipsby subscription box My subscription box included four different teas that were based on my preference after taking the quiz, and a sheet of paper that had detailed tea information such as steep time, caffeine levels, and flavor. What I really loved was seeing that it was made just for me. In my box, there were three different t...

I have been fortunate enough to have experience with virtual learning for my daughters, and I would like to share some insights that might help you too. Maintain a consistent schedule: Having a consistent routine can make a big difference in your day. Try to maintain a regular bedtime and wake-up time.

10 things I want my daughters to know as they grow 1. No matter what I will always love you Even when it might seem like I'm frustrated, sad, or just having a rough time.  I will always love you. 2. You're perfect just the way you are Always remember this. You are perfect just the way you are! 3.  Friends come and go I often tell myself that people are like seasons passing by.  You will realize that not all friends will stay.  As I grew up I realized that it wasn't about the number of friends, but the quality of friends. As time goes on you will learn this too. 4. Never feel rushed to heal Healing takes time. Never feel the need to rush the healing process. Take a deep breath, and gather your thoughts, but please never rush the healing process.  “Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” ―  David Richo   5.   Always ask questions Big, small, or just because! Always ask questions. Asking questions, and get...
