Even My 5-year-old Likes to Menu Plan!

Last night Joely, my 5-year-old, informed me that she wanted to write out a list of what she wanted to eat the next day. So I gave her a notebook and pencil and she took it to her bedroom with her. This morning when I woke her up, before she even said good morning to […]

What to Do When Your Children Say "Mom, I'm Bored"

Educational online games can be a solution to the age old question of "Mom, I'm Bored!" My children love to play outside. During the summertime they enjoy playing in the backyard, or riding their bikes, or swimming in a friend's pool. But being outside in 100 degree temperatures for such long periods of time isn't […]

My Monday Kitchen-a-thon

A marathon – a long lasting difficult task of a specific kind. My feet now know what a cooking marathon entails. 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 […]

Never Run Out Of Cheese Again!

Have you ever run out of cheese when you needed it? Freezing cheese for pizza or other meals is a must in our family. 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 […]

Menu Plan Monday: Week of June 2nd

I'm actually going to be trying some new recipes this week, including overnight French toast, homemade chicken nuggets (I plan to freeze some), taco roll ups, pizza pockets (for the freezer also), and caramel glazed chicken. I'm excited about the chance to have more time in the kitchen since "summer" has officially started at my […]

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?

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. This is especially true when we discover something new for us to make  that is delicious. The last two days have been a little different. We've been yo-yoing the entire time, mostly with […]

Day 26 & 27: Running Low (3 Moms)

Nearing the end of our 31 day challenge my budget is running low. I have needed to make adjustments where necessary. 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 […]

My Nine-Year-Old Chef

I am always encouraged with my kids cooking as they are learning a life skill. Jerah has always loved cooking, and since I've been doing it so much this month with our "3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days" adventure, she decided she'd join in on the fun. So yesterday while I was teaching piano lessons, […]
