So many slow cooker recipes are long and complicated so here are some of our couldn't be easier slow cooker recipes that anyone can do. I love cooking in my slow cooker. I've found that with the slow cooker, I only need a couple of ingredients to make a delicious main dish. Here are some […]
A Kid-Friendly Kitchen Cabinet
Garage sales can help with kitchen cabinet problems for kids as you can see from my own experience. PROBLEM: My kids were too short. My kitchen cabinets were too tall. And I was too lazy got tired of getting the dishes down for my kids all the time. SOLUTION: When I happened upon this two-door […]
Conquer the Clutter
Does anyone know of a CTC (Conquer the Clutter) club available in your neighborhood? I'll admit it. Although I wouldn't call myself a pack rat, I do tend toward clutter in my home. In fact, this tendency is why the bar in our kitchen is covered with picture frames—to prevent us from piling it high […]
Menu Plan Monday: Week of June 30
Menu plans often go awry and last week is a prime example with a save toward the end of the week with pizza pockets. I had high expectations last week of making lunches since our dinners were taken care of due to evening VBS all week. But (*sigh*) as usual, it didn't pan out. Other […]
How to Chop an Onion
I'm still a novice in the kitchen, and up to this last week I still hadn't gotten the hang of how to chop an onion the right way—well, at least in such a way as to produce little pieces of onion that are even remotely similar in size. But this last Saturday I was able […]
A "Thank You" from my Mom
My mom wants to send my readers a thank you for your prayers for her during her surgery. Thank you for all the prayers that went my way. There were definitely moments I would rather not go through, but God has a way of catching our attention. I never felt really nervous or scared at […]
Menu Plan Monday: Week of June 22
Menu planning with VBS and other conflicts can be challenging. VBS is this week (and I’m the burned out director), so we’ll be eating dinner at church four days this week. Planning for VBS, as well as my trip to Missouri to be with my mom for her surgery, has made my schedule rather hectic […]
Menu Plan Monday: Week of June 9
Last week I managed to make four of my five planned dinners. Breakfasts and lunches were another matter entirely; unfortunately, we ended up Yo-Yoing for most of those meals. This week will be pretty much the same when it comes to breakfasts and lunches since we will all be at music camp at our church […]
Our 1st, 4th, and 6th Grade Homeschool Curriculum (Tentative)
We are in the process of planning our curriculum for 2008-2009. I've been cleaning off my bookshelves, selling dozens of un-needed books, all in the process of planning curriculum for next year. I do still have some decisions to make about Jaden's math, but that can wait a while longer. So here's our (tentative) curriculum […]
How I tell my kids I love them
There are many ways to tell your kids you love them. Joely and I sing to each other a lot. Sometimes we sing "I love you, a bushel and a peck…," which my grandmother used to sing to me all the time. But our favorite song to sing is "You Are My Sunshine." We often […]
