Hello there! I'm Saleena. Wife of 12 years, mama to three beautiful girls (and two boys in Heaven), and lover of Jesus. I love being outside in the sunshine, growing a garden of food and flowers and creating beautiful things and spaces. I started this blog to document my journey through homeschooling and what I learn along the way. I offer hands-on learning classes for homeschooled elementary students that incorporate science, history and art. Take a look around!

We made mosaic collages today with our mantra for the year, “I can do hard things!” Constantly encouraging these kids to never give up, even when things do not come easily. With struggle comes growth, strength and eventually confidence! 👊💪 Hope they never forget, they can do hard things ☺️👏

As humans, we don’t like the struggle. Getting to a point where we realize God uses the struggle to grow us, and to make us more like Him…that’s what makes it all worth it. Every tear. Every heartbreak. Every loss. It helps us realize how much we need Him, and we can experience His faithfulness in a way we never have before. So we can become a “well watered garden”. 💛 Tag a friend who needs to hear this ❤️

If you are planning to start a garden this year, chances are you want to plant all the things! 🤗 🌱🌶🥬🍅 Instead if buying pre made seed starting mix, I decided to make my own because it’s more affordable, especially since I plan to make a lot. The recipe I used is 4 parts peat moss, 2 parts perlite, and 1 part vermiculite. This is perfect for starting seeds because it’s so light. If you do buy prepackaged soil, be sure to sift out any large pieces with 1/4” hardware cloth before planting seeds. Tip: always water trays from the bottom or with a mister to avoid displacing your seeds. 💦 Was this helpful?? Let me know below if you’d like to see more gardening content 👇

🧅 Ingredients
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons salt 2 cups hot water. The onion I chose was massive because I wanted a lot, but if you have a smaller one, then you could easily half the liquid recipe. Just make sure the onions are covered by the liquid. I had to push mine down in the jar. Have you made pickled onions before? Let me know if you add anything else! Would love a spicy version 🌶😋
