Future Christian Homemakers has their entire home economics book available online as downloadable and printable pdfs. I haven't [...]

Some people just don't get it!

Many people assume that if you're a stay at home mom, your house should be spotless. After all, you don't "work," so you have plenty of extra time to clean…right? Undoubtedly, people who think like that have no children. Otherwise they'd realize that staying at home all day with your kids means your kids have [...]

My Monday Kitchen-a-thon

I feel like I've been in the kitchen all day today, because…well, I have been in the kitchen all day. And why was I in my kitchen all day? Well, not only did I have a ton of food from my once-a-month shopping trip to take care of and put away, but I've also been [...]

Never Run Out Of Cheese Again!

We did our first once-a-month grocery trip this last weekend, and I purchased several large bags of shredded cheese. My family loves cheese, so the likelihood that any of this cheese will be left at the end of the month is extremely slim. But I also have pizza planned for each Friday this month, and [...]

A Tale of 3 Moms

Once upon a time there were 3 Moms. They loved to write about cooking, homemaking, homeschooling, saving money, and other things related to being at home. Then one day, one of the moms had an idea. She decided to record her shopping, meals, and recipes for an entire month! When another mom read about her [...]

Day 30 & 31: Is this the end?

Yesterday (Friday) we made pizza as planned—and it turned out great! I absolutely love the crust recipe I've been using. But today, Saturday, is the end of the month, and this morning my cupboards were so bare that Joely came up to me and asked, "Can I have cereal?" and I said, "Sorry, honey, we're [...]

Days 28 & 29: The Joy Of Giving Our Food Away! (3 Moms)

The last two days have been a little different. We've been yo-yoing the entire time, mostly with sandwiches and pasta. But Jerah did make herself some homemade macaroni and cheese yesterday, which reliable sources informed me turned out very well. Wednesday morning I needed to make a snack to take to our last homeschool group [...]

Day 26 & 27: Running Low (3 Moms)

I made sweet corn bread and baked beans for dinner Monday (and forgot to take pictures). I'd never used the corn bread recipe before, and I was a little…no, a lot surprised at the amount of sugar in the recipe, but I was quite hungry by the time I made dinner, so I just made [...]

Menu Plan Monday (and a "3 Moms" summary of the weekend…)

Our weekend was a hodge-podge of meals. The kids spent the night at a friend's house, so our planned Friday meal of oven-baked chicken strips and potato fries was bumped to Saturday night. The rest of the time we've just been Yo-Yoing. I've definitely realized that I need to plan for our non-meals a lot [...]

Day 20 & 21: Potato Soup and Sunshine Toast (3 Moms)

I tried a new recipe for potato soup yesterday. Actually, I've never made potato soup before except from a mix, so this is also my first recipe for potato soup that I've ever made. I had to make a couple substitutions because I didn't have the ingredients on hand, but it turned out great anyway. [...]
