DIY Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts

I love making chocolate covered strawberries every year. They are my favorite Valentine’s day treat in our house. Actually, when I was pregnant with Isabella, it is all I wanted, and I didn’t know how simple they were to make. I finally made my own, and it became a tradition to make them each year. This year I made them a little bit different. I made chocolate covered strawberry hearts (you can even make them fancy with colored chocolate drizzled over or glittery dust you can eat), but I decided to keep it simple. I think when I make them again, they will come out even better looking than this attempt. But the steps are easy, and the treats are delicious. I will definitely make them again. Before we begin, make sure to pin this to your recipe board.

It's Women's History Month and I wanted to share s It's Women's History Month and I wanted to share some of our favorite titles this month to share with your children that celebrate Women's History. 

Girls Think of Everything: Stories of Ingenious Inventions by Women have been a favorite it our home. Have you read it?

If you haven't make sure to pick it up from your local library or bookstore. It is an amazing read and you will learn a lot about women who invented some things we take for granted every day.

It was a lot of fun, we followed a printable from play.nintendo.com but then added our own flair with construction paper, colored yarn and whatever other craft supplies we had on hand. AJ loves it. 

What fun things have you created in your homeschool lately?
This week has been filled with snow. It's a new mo This week has been filled with snow. It's a new month and it came with a ton of snow. Been shoveling and schleping for days now. 

We took like 3 days off of book work from our homeschool this week because dealing with the snow and everything else I am responsible for is exhausting and sometimes self-care looks like slacking a bit. 

Dealing with the guilt of slacking a bit is another thing, trying to be in the moment and enjoy these moments with the kids is where it is at. Seeing the smile, and laugh while frolicking in this dreaded snow is where it's at. 

It's all about perspective, so find that perspective that makes you happiest.
