Hello again, friends!! For those who are not out of school yet, hang in there, because summer is fast approaching! But for others, like us, summer has just begun! (Insert confetti here!) However, something that comes with homeschooling is that school is never quite complete. Well, that’s true in our case as least. Our mom decided that this summer we would conquer our Oklahoma History credit.

Yet, our favorite part of the trip was a spontaneous stop at a cowboy boot shop where we…

Hello friends!
Hey all!!! My name is Emma. By the name of this blog, you might expect me to say “hey y’all” but I have high regard for English and can’t make myself break it. 🙂 We are fortunate to have the best of both worlds by living during the school year in the city, and during the summer at our family ranch.
