Simple Spring Gardening for Families

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/04/28

Today I have the privilege of interviewing someone who I just happened to have met on the interwebs. You may find this becoming a pattern because believe it or not there ARE still cool people that grace the internet with their goodness and I seem to keep finding them! With spring finally arriving, I always feel so inspired by the outdoors. I remember my grandmother always sitting out in her garden, pulling weeds, planting new bulbs, and simply looking so elegant even in the dirt. While I’ve not

I recently posted a video on Instagram that stated 3 things I believe.Kids learn in different waysParents should get a say in educationYou can homeschool if given resourcesI got a comment on it that said “a lot of people have jobs and that’s why they can’t” to which I let them know I understood since I work 24 hour shifts myself. It takes maneuvering and learning but it can work!Today is Episode 12 and I am so very grateful that you have taken time out of your life to listen to this small town girl

How to Find the Good

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/03/31

The definition of a “Pollyanna” is: a person characterized by irrepressible optimism and a tendency to find good in everything. It doesn’t mean never being sad, angry, or anything other less-than-sweet emotion. It means acknowledging the negative while having the ability to still see something positive. So, how do you become a Pollyanna? Is it something that is naturally within some people or can it be taught? I have 10 steps to keep you in tip top shape, as good ol’ Mary Poppins would probably

Healthy Brain Connections, Brain Boosting Foods, and...

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/03/24

Food affects the brain the most, for better or worse. Choosing foods that support optimal brain health is key to overall wellness. It will help your brain grow healthy cells, make healthy connections and operate calmly and efficiently. As a mom, I truly want the best for my kids. I want them to be able to focus on schoolwork, grow a healthy brain, and feel good overall. However, we all know it’s not always that simple, right? Healthy connections are how the brain makes sense of information, creates

Functioning with Anxiety

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/03/17

Fear breeds anxiety. Anxiety and fear go hand in hand with traumas and not always just one but years of various types. Who knows when it began for me, but after a tornado, a car accident, miscarriages, and homeschooling stress...suffice it to say, I have had my share of overwhelming anxiety! While the panic attacks are no longer a part of my life, anxiety didn’t just disappear. It just found new ways of showing itself. It came in broken sleep, heart flutters, waking in a sweat or short of breath,

Not in those exact words, but that was the bottom line.

Who Do Our Kids Belong To?

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/03/03

When I was young, I remember coming home from school every day and sitting down with a lemon and salt in front of the tv. I could eat one right after the other if allowed. I had a whole process to eating them and it was delicious. I mean, what could be better than lemons and Saved by the Bell?! My dad would tell me not to eat too many or it would ruin the enamel on my teeth. I would roll my eyes because surely it wasn’t that dramatic and who cared about enamel anyway?In recent news, there has been

Where is God When We Pray?

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/02/24

This past week, the world lost an amazing man. His name was Carman. Yes, the Carman that ministered through music that told a story. After a weird year of 2020, imagine the surprise of our tiny church when we were asked to host this legend in our sanctuary! We questioned our ability to make it happen, even had questions on it being wise during the current events. Yet, there we were. Our church has seen the congregation dwindle over the years but my dad's sermons continue to be exactly what we need

Can We Truly Trust God?

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/02/17

Time after time after time, while growing up, it seemed like my family gave so much to others only to be stabbed in the back or used and then tossed to the side once needs were met. I’ve had people in my life that said all the right things. You know, things like “I care. You can trust me. I’m here for you.”I became a girl who both trusted easily yet put up walls quickly. I don’t even know if that makes sense. I WANTED to trust people. I WANTED to be accepted and loved and have loyal friendships

Stress Busters You Can't Pass Up

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/02/10

Lou Holtz said: “It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Why is it that we tend to make stress and everything that falls under it as a prize worth bragging about? How many times have you, or someone you know, said something like “I got 3 hours of sleep last night!” or “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” or “you would not believe the amount of stress I am under!” I’ve been guilty of a few of those myself. I am convinced that there are people who just don’t know what to do with

When You Feel Not Good Enough

Imperfectly Pollyanna ·

2021/02/03

So the question today is: Are WE GOOD enough? Words matter. What we say to each other but also to ourselves. From childhood encounters to adulthood, each moment has shaped how I have chosen to feel about myself. Words spoken over 20 years ago have haunted me, chased me down, run me over at times. When you are affected that strongly, it bleeds into other avenues of your life. As a homeschooling mom, I KNOW we made the best decision to learn at home. I have been able to see firsthand when the

Hey there! Welcome to Imperfectly Pollyanna. I am your host, Courtney, and I am SO glad you are here!Since a very young girl. I have loved the classic story of Pollyanna. An orphaned girl who believed that in every hardship, there is always something to be glad about. She goes to be raised by her aunt who, along with the rest of the town, is disheartened and basically lost in the stress of life. I remember one scene in the movie version where Pollyanna is speaking with the house staff about what
