Everyone loves Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. I mean I even went out of my way each year to purchase one near the beginning of September. However, Starbucks isn’t know for making sure their drinks are gluten-free and their only dairy alternative is soy which bothers me. This just means that my pumpkin spice latte is…
Eleventh Grade: An Epic Year continued…
Part one here! I was behind in my science and math compared to my peers so I spent some of my year with the ninth grade Biology class and some with the ninth/tenth grade Geometry class. This included Bible right before Geometry and short Bible/Math classes one day a week because of Physical Education. In…
Menu Plan Monday September 16!
It was a rough week last week. My little princess was sent home sick from school early on Monday and it was rough finding a routine for the rest of the week! Thankfully, she was back to school by Thursday and still seems to be doing well. I knew sending her to preschool would help…
Organizing: Dresser Drawers
Organizing clothes seems to be something I spend quite a bit of time on. I think that’s because I don’t like to have to spend extra time looking for something to wear. Picking out something to wear is not my favorite part of the day. If everything is organized then I can just nab in…
Eleventh Grade: An Epic Year
Every year once the new school year starts and I manage to curb my desires to buy brand new pencils and pens I think of the one year when I went to school for the first time. Eleventh grade wasn’t my first year of school by a long shot. We homeschooled first grade through tenth…
Menu Plan Monday September 9!
Another Monday, another menu plan. It’s funny how people want to keep eating isn’t it? If I don’t have a menu plan in place the week does not go well and I constantly have people asking me what’s for dinner. You’re on your own only works once or twice a week and then only if…
Learning More about Nutritional Yeast
For years when I asked my chiropractor what I could do to increase my energy levels she would say consume more B vitamins. When I asked how I could do that without popping more supplements she said eat more nutritional yeast. At the time I had no idea what nutritional yeast was, let alone how…
Homeschool Memories: Martin Guitar, Weller Health Center, and the Crayola Factory
I can’t imagine visiting all these place in one day, but that’s what we did! What a busy day! This was another Bob Neff Tour that my mother brought us along on. All of these places are in Pennsylvania fairly close to one another so our driving time was minimal. First stop, Martin Guitar. I…
Menu Plan Monday September 2!
Happy September and Happy Labor Day! I am so looking forward to some cooler weather here in Florida! Last week went well although we ate less than I had planned. Oh well, I always love leftovers. They are especially handy since I’ve been packing lunch a couple of times a week so that we can…
Homeschooling Memories: Visiting a Goat Farm!
Visiting a farm can be a wonderful experience! Since the bulk of our homeschooling years were spent in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania we visited several different kinds of farms. We visited a dairy farm at one point and drove by numerous others wherever we went. One memorable visit was to a friend’s farm where they kept…
