Below I give you 7 priorities for our new year round homeschool calendar. As most homeschoolers do, when we first began homeschooling we adopted a typical public-school calendar, including a two-week Christmas break, a one-week spring break, and a three-month summer break. We kept this public-school calendar for our first three years. But homeschooling during […]
Menu Plan Monday: Week of June 22
Two thirds of a menu plan is better than none. I'm going to make a concerted effort this week to make breakfasts and dinners. Lunches will be Yo-Yo since that's what my kids seem to prefer anyway and since everyone always seems to be hungry for lunch at different times. Here's my plan for this […]
The Dinner Challenge: Summary and Recipe Link-up
I didn't really meet the Dinner Challenge very well this week. I ended up making only four of the seven planned meals. But all is not lost since I plan to make the missed meals this upcoming week. Here's a review of this week's dinners. Monday: Day one was a bust. The crockpot barbecue chicken […]
The Dinner Challenge: Day Three and Four
On Day Three I didn't cook any dinner for our dinner challenge since we had so much leftover Beef and Tomato Bake from Day Two's dinner. And then today's dinner was rather…shall we say…interesting? You see I was out of rice for the Chicken Fried Rice recipe, so I had Jeff pick some up at […]
The Dinner Challenge: Day Two
Dinner challeng day two can't make up for last nights flop but it got an all thumbs up from my people. Last night was a strikeout, but tonight was a home run! { Sorry, I don't know why I'm using baseball analogies — I don't even like baseball! } Tonight's dinner was Beef and Tomato […]
The Dinner Challenge: Day One
Not a good start for my dinner challenge week. Dinner was a bust today. The recipe I chose, slow cooker barbecue chicken, was entirely too spicy. I actually liked it, but Jeff will probably have horrible indigestion the rest of the night. Jaden thought it was okay, but it had such a kick he had […]
Home Economics Curriculum
UPDATE: Unfortunately this curriculum is no longer available for free. But you can still purchase it as an ebook for $16.99. Michelle at Beyond the Silver and the Gold linked to a wonderful home economics curriculum recently. Future Christian Homemakers has their entire home economics book available online as downloadable and printable pdfs. I haven't […]
The Lunch Challenge: Summary and Recipe Link-up
After this last week, I discovered that I'm not too great at making lunches as you'll see in my summary of this lunch challenge week. My lunch-making ability pretty much fell apart toward the end of the week. Monday: Day one was a success; it was easy to prepare and everyone loved the meal. I […]
Menu Plan Monday: The Dinner Challenge
For the last two weeks Amanda and I have challenged each other to cook more for our families, focusing on only one meal per week. The first week it was breakfasts, and last week it was lunches. This coming week our task is to focus on dinners, one meal that I've always had difficulty preparing […]
The Lunch Challenge: Day Five and Six
These last two days have been pretty crazy. You'll see why the Lunch Challenge has been pretty much pushed aside these last two days. Here's the rundown of my frantic weekend. Friday we had Music Camp till noon, then we raced to our friend's house to feed the animals, and then we stopped at Sonic […]
