3 Reasons Why Online Tutoring Was the Best for My Sanity!

June 2, 2021 by Alisha 1 Comment

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.*

Listen…not only was 2020 one of the worst years with a global pandemic it was also a year that I had to become a “virtual” teacher due to school being closed.  There is a reason I changed my major from Elementary Education fifty eleven years ago.  That reason is that I realize I do not have the patience of a Saint and therefore me trying to help my child with their school work was setting her up for failure and me up for a nervous breakdown!

My oldest daughter finished school early and graduated last year. So luckily she missed out on the hot mess that everything in the spring semester became. My youngest daughter was left with me trying to figure out how to help her and us both becoming frustrated. I knew with this school year we would need the assistance of a tutor because my way of teaching was not getting us anywhere.

I’ve always been interested in finding her a tutor but some of the places in our area would cost over $1000 a month.  For that price I’m going to need you basically being a one-on-one teacher for my child and not just a tutor!  EBO Educational Services reached out to me about their tutoring services and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my daughter.  The tutor we met with took the time to get to know Morgan and even got her out of her shell a bit.  He asked a lot of open ended questions to try and gauge what was going on, her favorite subjects and where she felt she was struggling the most.  I loved that he took the time get to know her so because this will best help him figure out the most effective way to help tutor her.  [Read more…]

Our Trip to Batey Farms #NaBloPoMo

November 18, 2015 by Alisha 4 Comments

A few weeks ago my daughters and I were invited by Janice of JanicePerson (blog), who works for Monsanto, to visit Batey Farms which is about 40 miles just outside of Nashville, TN.  Part of one of the farms is located directly across the street from one of my favorite shopping centers and I’d always wondered they grew.

Janice and I “cheesin” inside the Batey Farms store.

Batey Farms is an 8th generation family owned and operated hog, row crop, and hay farm that prides itself on being noble stewards of the land and animals that they have the pleasure to care for.

Since 1807 dating back to a Revolutionary war land grant, their farm has been in production agriculture. They have continued to grow and take advantage of new technologies that date back to running water and electricity to new age GPS, field mapping, data collection and variable rate seed, fertilizer and chemical placement to ensure that they are doing all that they can to provide a secure and safe environment for our animals, our family and for all those around us!

Batey FarmsI’m pretty sure in another life my youngest daughter lived in the wilderness.  There is no other explanation for why that child loves to be outdoors so much.  I am not an outdoorsy person and as soon as we got out the car at the farm she took off running like the wild child she is.  She explored the entire farm and even had a chance to sit in a tractor and get an up close look at what soybeans look like still in the field.
