Menu Plan Monday: Christmas Week Menu

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

I learned some time ago that I need to have a menu plan in place for the week of Christmas.  I tend to get all caught up in the fun of baking and crafting which causes me to forget what time it is.  That normally means that around 4:30 I look up and realize that I have no clue what we are doing for supper.  I don’t need that stress, so here is our menu plan for the week… Monday: Turkey Club Sandwiches using Gluten Free Homemaker’s Focaccia Bread Homemade potato chips with homemade ranch dressing Fresh baked gluten free…

Everyone waited and prayed to see what the Lord would have for this play. Sunday morning came bright and early. Munchkin did not want to get out of bed as it was “too early” (not that Daddy and I didn’t agree), but she crawled out of bed and got ready as she was excited. I surprised her with a new…

Ornament Making Party

Posted in Family, Holidays, and Thoughts

Munchkin had decided that she wanted to invite her friends over for an ornament making party. She had all these grand plans in her head, but things didn’t go exactly as planned… The original date for the party fell through, so she decided to invite her friends over on Friday afternoon. Since it was nice out, she set up all of the supplies outside and headed off to gather up her friends from the neighborhood. One friend wasn’t home yet, so they chose to start without her. (She’s not in the picture as she came over after the picture was…

KinderBach Review

Posted in Reviews

As a member of the TOS Crew, we received a 3 month subscription to KinderBach.  Unfortunately, this service is too young for Munchkin, so this will just be a brief informational review.  Please see the reviews of my crewmates for more in depth information on the actual use of the program. KinderBach offers 6 different levels (over 240 sessions) of fun, family friendly music classes for kids ages 3-7.  Through the instruction given my Miss Karri, students will learn to play simple songs and identify music direction, work on rhythm and learn beat value, train in proper hand and finger…
