So now that we are settled in for the night, I finally am able to post. Well I would have written earlier today as planned, but it just didn’t work out to that end. We ended up leaving town a good hour later than planned, maybe a bit more than that. I was up until [...]

swim like there is no tomorrow

So we have entered the world of organized sports. T-ball didn’t count as it was mostly kids picking flowers in the outfield. Soccer has been borderline. The practices 2 times a week for about an hour with 8 games (3 month span.) Both of our older two love to swim and the oldest really wanted to [...]

I am not sure how, but I forgot that today is the Nourishing Portable Food Carnival over at the Nourishing Gourmet! I’ve been really looking forward to this for a few reasons:
Home-schooling families do not always stay home, we spend time out and about with the world as our classroom.
Our oldest has joined the swim [...]

The regular randomness of this blog has officially been interrupted. I am going to give you a recipe and you HAVE to go do it. Trust me, you will not regret it…especially if you like a fresh, icy-cold treat on a hot day
Melon Creamsicle Pops

It is that time of year again. Time to start teaching the girls a tad bit more formally. I say that because as parents aren’t we teaching our children every day…shouldn’t we? My girls love to learn about nearly anything. When asked what they like to do in school they start a long list (art, [...]
How we camp
Posted in fun, tagged camping, geo cache, hiking on August 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
…or should I say lack thereof. We haven’t camped for 2 years (not since before the twins were adopted.) I was rusty on my packing skills and was sure I would forget important items. Husband and I were really looking forward to a couple days away, one just us and the other with our [...]
CSA report
Posted in CSA report, fun, tagged camping, CSA, ground cherry on August 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
No market this week since husband and I were off camping. Our CSA box, though, did not disappoint. There was so much bounty that I didn’t even count much of it:
watermelon
cantaloupe
dozen corn
tomatoes
green beans
red potatoes
peppers (bell, red, and Cayenne)
onions
ground cherries
squash
cucumbers
Not sure what a ground cherry is? We have one growing as a “weed” near our porch that [...]
Peach All-Fruit

Ladies and gents, we have gel!
We do not go through much jam in our house, but enough that I shudder at the price of a small jar of All Fruit at the store when I do pick some up. It’s commercial so I am not exactly sure what is in it and the price! [...]

So I sat down in bed last night (after soccer and swim team practice for the older two) to post my meal plan, late of course, but still on Monday. I fell asleep! My husband was sweet enough to rescue the computer and tuck me in. Imagine my surprise to wake in the middle of the [...]
Can’t type now..
