Day 30 & 31: Is this the end?

Coming to the last 2 days of the month(and the last of the groceries) make it necessary to think ahead to meal planning and budget shopping for the upcoming month. 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 […]

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

It is the special joy of giving to others even when our resources are low that makes us treasure what we have.

How to Teach Basic Math Concepts with Number Tiles

Why does math have to be hard?  Make up math games that teach and the child will never know he/she is learning his basic concepts. Math for my 5-year-old Joely is definitely one of those areas that is better learned without pencil in hand. So instead of using a workbook for "doing math," we have […]

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

My menu planning for our final week has been prompted and encouraged by our lack of creativity on previous weeks. 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 […]
