Hail Jenny, Giver of Scrumptious Biscuit Recipes!

I successfully baked another winner-of-a-recipe this morning. This time the recipe was from Jenny over at Runningamuck which she called "Big Daddy Biscuits." I put this biscuit recipe on my list of 13 Blogger-tested Recipes, but I hadn't made them as of that post. But now that I've made them, I think I'm in love! […]

How to Teach Basic Geography Without a Curriculum

It's easy to teach geography without buying a formal curriculum. We've done it for years by making our own homemade geography lessons with an atlas, maps, flashcards, games and online interactive sites. I've always loved geography, but I wasn't very good at it until we started homeschooling. In fact, I've learned more in the last […]

Grilled Pork ribs with a Good Rib Rub

Buying pork ribs on sale made it necessary for us to find a good pork rub to use for our grilling. We managed to grill pork ribs this evening. We've never attempted it before, but I picked up a package of boneless pork ribs for super cheap a few weeks ago, and since I'm trying […]

Homograph sentences to read and enjoy

Beyond our homophone list and into homograph sentences. My dad sent me this useful list of sentences that use homographs—words spelled the same, but pronounced differently. The list would be great to have kids read aloud for practice. The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was […]

Homemade Olive Garden?

This afternoon my husband (bless him!) informed me that Olive Garden—which happens to be my absolute favorite place in the world to eat—has posted many of their delicious, delectable, scrumptious, succulent (and fattening) recipes online at their website. Woohoo! I know what I'll be trying out in the next few weeks.

It Ain't Pizza Hut, But At Least It's Edible

Today I tried to make a homemade pizza from scratch. I hate to admit it, but I had never made any type of yeast bread before today. Sad, I know, but I've always been afraid to try my hand at making bread with yeast. Well, that, and I have such an issue with instant gratification […]

Hello. My Name is Joy, and I'm a Chocoholic.

Beyond being a chocoholic, I often have a powerful hankerin' for peanut butter, too. So what could be better than chocolate and peanut butter together—in a snack that's actually good for you? I know it sounds too good to be true, but I assure you, it's not. Now I do admit that this snack is […]

I like free and downloadable interactive curriculum aides! I'm in homeschooling heaven! Why?

I'm talking about Seterra, which is a great geography program that I've recently downloaded onto my […]
