Framed Quote Bubbles: Vol. 2, Day 26

How to Start a Homeschool Co-op
This Fall, we started a homeschool co-op for our church families. I am "in charge" so to speak, but it truly is a cooperative effort. We meet once a week for three hours to offer enhancement to each family's curriculum. This post isn't necessarily how to start a … [Read more...]

Day 301: Spice Rack Turned Toiletry Shelf
I've been posting a lot of recipes lately, so I thought I would tackle one of my projects today. I guess now that I'm trying to be a "real" blogger I should have some sort of blogging schedule other than "make sure you get a pin done every day." Maybe that will be … [Read more...]
Day 294: Pillsbury Jelly Bean Cookie Cups
For Spring Break, I have instituted several "no electronics" time zones throughout the day. For an hour at a time, everything goes off and the boys have to do chores, play together, go outside, etc. For Bryce, this can be very hard, but he has been surprisingly … [Read more...]
Day 280: Use Baby Powder to Remove Sand
The weather is gorgeous, the sand box has been cleaned out and the park play dates are picking up steam. Thus begins "sand in the hair, diaper, shoes and socks" season :) This morning at the park I mentioned that I had forgotten to bring the baby powder. I was … [Read more...]
