My previous post I made on #homeschooling on my Instagram account got so much positive attention and so many questions- so here are some most common fears/ questions/ concerns when it comes to homeschooling that holds people back of making that leap. 

I will share my experiences, beliefs and opinions that may help you in your journey of picking the right way to raise your kids. The right way is what is right for you and your family. 

Everything that is considered and accepted by masses and widely consumed and accepted as “normal” is abnormal to me. Everything considered “abnormal”, with common sense and close to human natural state is actually “Normal” to me.

Have you ever caught yourself saying some of those mantras?

5 P’s that can change your outcomes no matter your profession:

If you are a parent that is highly passionate about accomplishing your goals and pursuing your dreams this statement will offer a new, healthier perspective when it comes to raising kids and you will be highly encouraged!

In the volleyball world, it’s time for school team tryouts--a time that never ceases to amaze me, naturally, because I understand the amount of work required to be good or great at anything.

Every year, I get many calls from parents and athletes inquiring about opportunities to get ready for tryouts. Sometimes they call me two to three days before their tryouts. Sometimes they call two to three weeks before, which is only a tad less puzzling.

Although “better late than never” applies to this situation, I always wonder and think about these three questions:

Investing in health is much easier than ingesting pills. This is why I share things we make and love in hope that it will help you choose a healthier options for your lifestyle. I am also very frugal and don’t like spending unnecessary on bathing out and buying ore-made stuff. Salsa is one of our family and friends favorite snacks. Super delicious, super nutritious, super colorful, super tasty and super easy to make. For only couple of bucks you can have salsa for days, eat as a snack or add to your taco salad ,open burrito or use as a sauce.

As we approach tryouts and nerves are getting thin, both for athletes and parents, here are couple of reminders:

This is the time to be excited, not worried. You have the opportunity to show off your hard work. This is a young athlete’s first true athletic challenge. Celebrate!!!

Personally, I am sucker for freshly baked bread, and I feel in America that’s one thing that I always missed! In Serbia- we had fresh bread daily from local bakeries, often still warm freshly baked if you are an early bird. I’ve never had bagged bread until I got to America. To this day it’s one of my pet peeves.

I love making my midday health cocktail!! It’s becoming my routine. It is so refreshing, uplifting and loaded with goodies! Hot pepper will raise your core temperature and warm up your ❤️

For few bucks you can have an everyday supply for weeks. It takes few minutes to make. No Excuses!

I tell the girls, “You can quit coming to me and you can quit volleyball. But we’re not moving on until we reach this goal.”

There is a lot of room for improvement for each girl individually and as a team member. Doing this drill and learning how to accomplish a goal while navigating the problems they face will help the girls succeed in all areas of life, for the rest of their lives. Succeeding in this drill, and learning the lessons this drill teaches them will move them toward a greater ability to excel on the court and off.

One of the favorites in Taylor house! I make my own and it cannot compare to anything store bought. Additionally, my hummus has no additives and stuff that shouldn’t hang out in your digestive systems.

No, kids don’t need iPads to learn. They need to play. And we play all damn day!

We created these tee-pees for my crawling veggies this spring and summer. We used fallen pine trees that were laying around and we think they look pretty good! Being outside has so many benefits. Here are some of my favorites.
