The Ultimate Blog Party is a week-long blog hopping carnival, sponsored by 5 Minutes for Mom.
Welcome to Feels Like Home!
I’m Tara.
I write this blog about living more fully – fully present, fully engaged, fully in every moment (even the ones that suck).
Let’s face it, who wants to me the mom who pays more attention to her phone than to her kids?
I do all the same things that you do. I cook. I mother. I clean. I garden. I make crafty projects. I am trying to lose weight forge a healthier lifestyle with my family. I give myself a belly ache eating jelly beans.
Oh, wait, you don’t do that?
I thought everyone did.
I homeschool one of my crazy children.
I’ll homeschool the other one, too, when she stops eating the school supplies.
I make money blogging, and I coach other bloggers how to do the same. I’d love to help you, too.
I hope you’ll stick around and read a bit while you’re here. Here’s more about me, about the things I want to do in my life, and my best posts from the last 5 years.
And here’s what we’ve been up to lately:
Our Family Rules (and the rules according to my 4-year-old)

Your children are way too cute, especially in those photos!

Hi Tara,
I’m so happy to meet you via UBP2012! You have a beautiful family and I’m enjoying surfing around your blog to see all you have to offer.
Looking forward to getting to know you better. Oh, and yes, I totally get a belly ache from eating too many jelly beans. And too much chocolate.
Blessings,

What a fun blog full of personality. Stopping by from UBP. I’m a grandma, and my first reaction to the school supply picture was “OH, NO! Thanks a sharpie. She’ll never get those marks out.” : ) God bless you!
Gail´s most recent post…Dirty Thoughts
Thank you!
As a matter of fact, they do come out… with rubbing alcohol. We learned that one the hard way when the older one drew all over herself with Sharpies.
I’ve been by before but just wanted to pop in and say hi as I make the rounds at the UBP!
Love the pictures! So cute.
Also love the terrarium. That looks incredibly fun! I may need to try it.

Cute! I love your sense of humor. And we have a lot in common. If I were crossing thing off that list above I’d have to cross off cook. I’m not a fan of slaving in the kitchen but happy for me my hubby is glad to share. We work together on it.

LOL! My husband does most of our cooking, too. I like to cook, but I work in the evenings, so it defaults to him almost all of the time.
Stopping by from the UBP! Love your blog header!
Cool stuff! Stopping by to keep the UBP12 party going. You can find me here http://bit.ly/IIFKbE.

Hi! I’m stopping by from the UBP – belatedly because my week was just insane so I had no time before now to visit anyone – and am so glad to “meet” you. I, too, am a homeschooler who writes about our home learning journey as well as other things. Hope you’ll stop by: http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com/2012/04/2012-ultimate-blog-party.html.
