This second edition of my daughters recommendations may only be the beginning. My 10-year-old daughter reads constantly, so she has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of books she likes. This week I asked her to bring me just 13 more books that she'd like to recommend to my readers. If you missed her first edition of […]
The Lunch Challenge: Day Four
Lunch challenge day for switched with day five. Menu planning in our house is flexible due to circumstances. I haven't made it to the grocery store all week, so my originally-planned lunch of homemade pizza "Lunchables" wasn't possible today. Instead I made the deli tortilla wraps that were on the menu for Friday. We brown-bagged […]
The Lunch Challenge: Day Three
Peanut butter balls for lunch challenge day three was okay with 2 out of 3 kids. Lunch was a big hit with the girls today. Unfortunately, Jaden still swears he can't stand chocolate and peanut butter mixed together, so he didn't have any of the peanut butter balls. He fixed his own lunch while the […]
My Girls at the Mic & the Piano
Joely and Jerah have been really motivated to improve their piano skills these last few months. Sadly, I haven't worked with them at all in the last year. I say sadly because as a piano teacher, I'm helping all these other kids learn how to play the piano, but I'm not working with my own […]

The Lunch Challenge: Day One
Lunch challenge day one started with a switch of menu plans due to pantry depletion. Surprise, surprise, but I didn't plan very well. Sweet and sour chicken and rice was on the menu for lunch today, but when I went to my pantry last night to get out the ingredients, I realized I was out […]

The Breakfast Challenge: Summary and Recipe Link-up
In case you missed out on our Breakfast Challenge this last week, I thought I'd summarize the results. I had planned seven breakfasts, but ended up making only five of them. While that's not what I was shooting for, it is better than I had been doing (which was nothing at all). Corn cakes were […]
The Breakfast Challenge: Day Six
This morning's breakfast of Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal met with mixed reviews. Four (or maybe three) out of five of the J's thought it was definitely good enough to make again, but they still had their own thoughts on the dish. Here's a summary. Joely tried it enthusiastically and declared it yummy, but she was […]
