Double Decker Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Recipe
These are just a bit more work to make than a regular grilled cheese sandwich, but well worth the few minutes of extra time spent! These sandwiches are great for lunch anytime of the year, and we love having them for dinner in the winter with a bowl of homemade tomato soup. These are good on…

Thelma’s Cherry Pie Jello
Cherry Pie Jello was one of my mom’s recipes. We ALWAYS had Cherry Pie Jello for every holiday, event or family gathering. Everyone loves this recipe! I don’t even like cherry pie and I love it! This single recipe will make enough for my family to have with dinner for two nights. If you’re serving…

We are hearing from Dani most every day. Sometimes I have a chance for a lengthy phone conversation, and other times it’s just a couple of minutes. She is having a wonderful time, and she is homesick. And, yes, those two things can co-exist in one twenty-something young woman who loves home! Dani is spending…

Lots of kid-friendly dishes on the menu this week! Copper is back to his normal work schedule and will only be home Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday should be a day off, but he has asked for an overtime shift that day. Tacos, which he loves, are on the menu for Wednesday, so I’m set either…

Coffee cake for Sunday morning breakfast helps us to get ourselves ready for church with minimal preparation and clean up, and it’s tasty to boot! Our repertoire of coffee cake…

Corin and I were VERY silly this morning. We were instant meassaging one another and then noticed that Dani was on line and reading our blogs! (Xanga has a “footprints” feature that allows you to see who is reading your blog, etc.). We cyberstalked poor Dani for about 15 minutes and then we all landed smack…

Every few months I introduce a new artist to my children. This summer our artist is Henri Matisse. While I do use living books almost exclusively in my homeschooling, I am not a Charlotte Mason homeschooler. We do not do “picture studies”, nor do we keep notebooks and such. We simply read. We sometimes discuss,…

Though Dani still has about half an hour left in flight on her way to D.C., Will wasted no time in taking over her bed. He decided that in her bed, windows wide open and under the covers, was the perfect place to do his math this morning. As a matter of fact, he’s decided…

to Washington, D.C!! Dani’s plane is en route, even as we speak, er, I type. We dropped a very excited, yet tearful, Dani off at our friends’ home last night. They booked a limousine (!!!) to take the family to the airport a few hours away. How fun! I’m so excited for my daughter,…
Got any book recommendations?
