Congrats on your daughter getting her 1st choice school. It's also a testament to the hard work you've put it. Kudos to you too. I love the goals coz they keep me accountable too. You motivate me to keep going

Girl, I think you are more organized than most mama’s I know. I am dreaming of how I can be as organized and manage a household and homeschool as you do. I’m already behind since I’m watching your goals for August in August. lol. I think you are doing an amazing job. Pat yourself on the back. I’m taking notes of how I can implement goal habits into my daily life. Thanks for the first step!

My favorite National Park in Utah is Arches. We've been there several times. There is so much to do: hiking in the park, take a jeep off-road tour, visit Deadhorse State Park. Avoid the summer months - way too hot.

Good to know! We most likely will travel in the spring so hopefully before the heat gets too bad.

Yay! Congrats to your daughter!! ⛳️ Please keep us updated on ‘The Nectar Group.’ I also saw them at our local homeschool convention and am intrigued… Lastly, I would love a ‘How -to’ video on canning. I’ve always wanted to learn… Have a wonderful homeschool year. 📚🌱

Canning video coming soon…just completed a huge round of harvesting and preserving

Congratulations to your daughter! So exciting! We were camping at Turkey Run 2 weeks ago. It is only about 30 min from our house. Love the pool and trails. Have a blessed school year!

This was probably my 5th or 6th time taking a group camping there. The trails never get old and there is always something new we find each time. You are so lucky to be that close to it!

@@mypracticallyimperfectlife yes!!! While we have our own kayaks we take it is so nice to have the canoe and tube place right there for trips. Crazily as teenagers the big thing to do was jump off the suspension bridge there...now Im like what were we thinking! Have you ever been to the covered bridge festival? If not you should camp during that time. Always starts 2nd friday in Oct and goes for 9 days until the next Sunday. Turkey Run or Raccoon lake are closest and best for festival camping. Secret is you have to make reservations 6 months to the day (unless you primitive camp then no issues) as sites are gone in hours for the entire festival week.

@@mypracticallyimperfectlife I should ask what is your favorite camping place up in Northern IN? We always seem to go South and never north. Thanks!

We loved UTAH. We went to Arches/Canyonlands/Dead Horse with little plans (aside from Fiery Furnace permit and timed entries into Arches) and so had so much to do over 8 days(mostly hiking) with four kids 5-13. It was gorgeous weather in September:)

[@mypracticallyimperfectlife]

Thank you for those suggestions! We love the outdoors and I’ve heard there are some gorgeous sites to see there

Congrats on your student athlete accepting her offer! Senior year will have just a little less pressure. My SA gymnast is entering Sr year at university…it goes by so fast. But I have a rising 9th grader who wants to be a college gymnast too.
