While I was sorting laundry today, my four-year-old combined olive oil, peanut butter, and a Costco sized container of cinnamon and put the mixture in coffee filters. When I reminded him that he was not supposed to cook without a grown up, he said, “I wasn’t cooking, I was making mole traps”. We now haveRead More
Homeschool Resources Meme
I was tagged in a Homeschool Resources Meme by Tricia at HodgePodge. Some of you may already know that I homeschooled our two oldest children from kindergarten through graduation.

“Real” Fast Food for Busy Nights
I am enjoying the cooler weather and the smell of new books, but I am not fond of the crush of activities that begin in September. Many nights I am pulling in the drive way ten minutes after I was planning on serving dinner. So I do a little preplanning and combine it with recipes that IRead More
Mediterranean Garden Frittata
I should let you know right off that my daughter named this dish. I wanted to call it Italian Vegetable Frittata, but she didn’t think that sounded romantic or exotic enough for her favorite frittata. She is a kindred spirit to Anne of Green Gables and often complains about the plebeian names I give my dishes.Read More
Southwest Steak Frittata

Menu Plan – Week of September 5th
I haven’t shared a menu plan in months. Our schedule has been crazy busy this summer and I have just been winging dinner based on who is home and how much time I have to prepare dinner. Last week my two oldest children started back to college which means order is being imposed on myRead More
Using Whisper Counting to Teach Even and Odd
As soon as my children are comfortable counting. I introduce them to whisper counting. Why? Mostly because it is fun.

Whisper counting lays the foundation for teaching the conceptRead More
