The new year is a time for a clean slate. Fresh starts. But as I look around my house, it’s anything but clean. There are toys strewn about, the kitchen is full of dishes, little children’s artwork decorates the dining room table, and the hamper overflows. This is the blessed life of

I’ve been drinking green smoothies for a while now. Full of vitamins and low in calories, they are a great way to pack a good nutrition punch in a fun package. My girls have been begging for a purple smoothie for a few days and I finally gave in this morning. They called them Fairy [...]

This sourdough sandwich bread from Whole Foods is awesome. Recently, they were on sale so I wanted to buy multiple loaves knowing that we had company coming over and it makes a really great sandwich or panini. The bakery case was empty so I asked the lady in the bakery if she had more coming. [...]
Often I’m asked, how on Earth do you homeschool when there are so many of them? First of all, there are only 4 not 24. So it could be a lot busier. But as they get older, I find that they can help out more. Better yet, they enjoy helping out. For instance, the other [...]
