What’s for dinner tonight?

Published by Chloe under Uncategorized

Well, … I think we’ll be having Hamburger Steak, from page 26 of the current issue of Cooking with Paula Deen. Looks tasty, and … better yet… doesn’t sound like it will take six hours and an army of side-kicks to get it on the table. Should it prove worth sharing, I’ll post it here for you to try too.

We also seem to be down to our last jar of Cranberry Sauce, so I guess I’ll be putting a pot in the slow cooker tonight.

An Easter Funny … not bunny

Published by Chloe under Uncategorized

In going through all the pictures from Easter morning, I found this one.  Oddly enough, is seems to capture the general tone at our house … just a little wacky.  I like to call this one “Trying to dump the baby into the flower pot”.  The good news is…. she didn’t actually get dumped into the flower pot.  The days of a nice calm portrait may be history here.

What’s a Mom to do?

So … yesterday, I took a veteran homeschooler’s advice and asked my three older children what they would like to study as electives as they move into Middle School, and eventually High School.  Here is the list they compiled, in no particular order.

  • Home Ec
  • Cooking Science
  • Sewing
  • Design
  • Art History
  • Large Animal Vet Science
  • Greek (failing that …. Italian)
  • French x 2
  • Computer Science
  • Acoustic Guitar x 2
  • Flute
  • Piano
  • Typing
  • Home Design
  • Journalism
  • Sculpture
  • Woodworking
  • Landscaping/Horticulture
  • French Cooking
To make matters more interesting, the children assure me that they have forgotten some things but that it would be “okay” for me to begin here.  What was I thinking?
