De Soto National Memorial & Jr. Ranger Program // Florida

We completely underestimated everything De Soto National Memorial had to offer. We stopped by on a recent trip to Tampa thinking we would spend a few minutes in the visitors center, but instead we closed it down. We spent all afternoon completing the Jr. Ranger Program and exploring the beautiful waterfront property. The biggest tip […]

Homeschool School Photos

Just because we are homeschooling doesn’t mean we are missing out on the time-honored tradition of school photos. Instead of the cheesy, posed photos – chin up, turn to the left, next – we found a local photographer to take incredibly personal school photos. We happen to be good friends with the very talented photographer […]
