Menu Plan Week of June 29th

The move is quickly approaching and it is time to get serious about eating some of the food in our pantry and freezer so I don’t have to box it up and move it. Also, my toaster oven died this week. This might not seem like a big deal, but I use my toaster oven [...]

Menu Plan Monday ~ I’m Going to HEAV!

I am so excited because this week I leave on Thursday for the Home Educators of Virginia Homeschool Conference. If you are attending the conference I would love to meet up, just send me an email and we can arrange something.
My mother-in-law is watching the kids so I prepared a few meals and put them [...]

Menu Plan Monday ~ Clean out the Freezer Edition

We have an upright freezer in our garage. I rarely open it because walking through our garage is like running an obstacle course. I was a bit surprised a few weeks ago when I went out there and found all the shelves completely covered in ice. It is time to defrost the freezer, but first [...]

A Simple yet Delightful Treat

Last week I videoed my kitchen in an attempt to show everyone what a real week in my kitchen looked like. What you didn’t see was many of the flubs, goofs, and just plain fun we had making the videos. On the last day my sister decided she wanted to contribute with a video tutorial [...]
