  • Homeschooling With Copperswife

         I have, over the last year or so, had a lot of questions about how we homeschool our own children.  I have been hesitant to share too much.  Homeschooling is, and should be, unique to each individual family.  In fact, there will probably even be some variations between children in the same family.  That…

  • We Have A Saying Around Here

          We have a saying around here for days like today.  The saying is, “Daddy Adventures”.  You see, my wonderful husband has a way of inviting one or more of us along to join him in town for some little errand or another.  Those little outings quite frequently turn into lengthy, day-long get aways.  Today…

  • What’s Cookin’ In Copper’s Kitchen This Week

         We missed a couple of dishes on last week’s menu, so I’m recycling one of them over to this week.  Poor Will, he was really looking forward to spaghetti last week.  It’s one of his favorite meals!  I promised him we’d carry it over to this week.      The only new-to-me recipe this week…

  • Way Too Talkative

         I’m way too talkative today, I guess; but my girls are different.  Today, they were quiet. 

  • Sir Isaac Newton, P.E., Aeronautics and a Give Away!

         Sir Isaac Newton, P.E., Aeronautics and a Give Away all in one day!  We’re just havin’ too much fun here!!!  The weather has turned cool, in fact it rained a bit, but we’ve been outdoors most of the day.  We’ve laughed ourselves silly.  We’ve whooped and hollered and cheered.  We’ve performed trampoline stunts….age appropriate…

  • Orange Glazed Meatballs Recipe

    I like trying new recipes when I find them, but I love creating new recipes of my own.  Past inspriration for creating new recipes has been found in the frozen foods or specialty foods areas of the grocery store, from vintage recipes and even from restaurant menus.  After almost 30 years of marriage, and almost 28 years of…

  • Winter Returns

          Our spring-like weather is yielding, just a bit, and we are seeing the beginning of what will be a few more days of mild winter weather.  I’m good with that.  In fact, I’ve been hoping that we’d have just enough cold weather to use the wood stove for a few more days and evenings. …

  • Time Warp

         It cannot be Tuesday evening already!  I remember, quite clearly, the last several days, but they have whooshed by me awfully fast.  To say we’ve been busy, would be true.  When I looked at our calendar for the week Sunday evening and saw that there were NO appointments at all for the entire week,…

  • What’s Cookin’ In Copper’s Kitchen This Week

         Menu planning has been so helpful in my home.  It might not be beneficial to everyone, but it certainly has been for me.  Menu planning, week in and week out, allows me to see where we’ve fallen into some ruts.  It also helps me to plan what we eat for an entire day so…

  • Quick Chicken & Noodle Stew Recipe

    I meant to take pictures and have all sorts of fun extras with this recipe.  Truth be told, I forgot (yes, yes I did) that I’d promised this recipe to you, so it was prepared last night without any sort of thought to posting.  You know what?  This recipe is, just as the title says,…
