Gluten Free Review: Shabtai Gourmet

Posted in Gluten Free, and Reviews

When you go gluten free, there are certain foods that you miss.  We miss being able to pick up those individually packaged goodies that come in a box.  You know the ones that your mom may have packed in your school lunch?  Some foods, I haven’t found a good replacement for yet.  As much as I would like to make everything, it’s just not practical all of the time.  I’m so grateful for companies who are striving to make gluten free products taste good. Shabtai Gourmet produces their Gluten Free products in a dedicated gluten free facility.  Their products are…

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #060 It’s hard to believe that it’s already the first of March.  We’re 60 days into the new year.  Two months have come and gone.  February was a bit of a crazy month for us; it will be interesting to see what this new month holds for us. I’m 60 days into the Mommytography 365 Project for 2011.  What I’ve learned so far is there is some incredible talent out there in the blogosphere.  A photographer I am not – at least, not yet – maybe someday.  I very much enjoy taking pictures and capturing moments in…

In My Footsteps

Project 365 – #059 When I was younger, I had many different dreams of what I wanted to be when I grew up.  Everything revolved around animals.  I adored animals – especially dogs.  I was one of those kids who would go up to any dog – stray or not – and try to pet it.  This didn’t go away as I got older.  Even after having been bit, I had no fear of dogs.  I thought it would be great to be a vet and take care of animals. As time went along, I found that I wasn’t all…

Review: The Organized Home Schooler

Posted in Reviews

When you’re trying to balance everyday life with homeschooling, things can, and do, get rather crazy.  Organization is a must, but sometimes it’s hard to wrap your head around how to even start getting organized – especially as someone who is new to homeschooling. Vicki Caruana takes a good hard look at organizing your homeschool.  She tells you up front that everyone’s system of organization is going to look slightly different.  What works in one home won’t necessarily work in another home.  Each person needs to figure out exactly what it’s going to take to get their home school organized.…
