I have fallen in love with the blog
I discovered her a few weeks ago
and have been pretty much obsessed ever since.
This lady has got her act together!
And her site is a great place to start for new
homeschoolers with young kids!
I am not copying -
well, I guess I kinda am...
but like I said -
she is a great resource
and a great place to start!!
She does monthly meal plans
weekly lesson plans
created her own curriculum for
preschoolers and K4
(both of which I plan on purchasing).
She has figured this thing out!
I used to be pretty good at meal planning.
When we lived in NC, I would STOCK
my freezer UP when meats
would go on super sales
at our local grocery store.
Due to the competition between
5 grocery store chains
(not including the 2 mega stores that sold EVERYTHING)
every day prices were a little high but the sales
were AWESOME!
So I always had meat in the freezer to use.
Then we get down here in good 'ole Texas
and there is basically ONE
grocery store chain!
YEP
ONE!
Then there are the 2 mega stores too.
So there really is NO competition
like there was in NC.
So my buying stuff super cheap and stocking up days
are kinda over.
Instead, I am attempting to
plan and purchase for 2 weeks at a time.
We will see how that goes.
I am headed in the right direction and
have planned out meals and snacks for the
next two weeks.
I wasn't really giving the kids snacks like they
think they need.
So I have been inspired by
Confessions of a Homeschooler...
and
we are baking!
We would be doing a little anyways.
But when I put things on paper
and on a calendar.
It is easier to stick to!
Last week we made & decorated
Christmas cookies
while my folks were here.
(will have more about that on another post)
Today
After we put the babies down for naps
- yes "we" - the boys put Ms. Priss in her bed
I put the baby in his bed -
we made
Christmas-y Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
1) Dump
2) Pat
3) Bake
4) Cut
5) Devour!
(six thumbs up!)
Then we started decorating our annual gingerbread house.
I helped/supervised for a while...
then went and worked on something else.
This is what happens when you leave 2 boys
with 3 bags of icing!!
Can you tell that these are supposed to be
the sides of a gingerbread house??
Can't wait to see what the completed house looks like tomorrow!!
