Sense & Sensibility Review

Posted in Homemaking, and Reviews

I had lost motivation to tackle unpacking and setting up my sewing area. There were a few things that I wanted to sew, but there wasn’t really anything that gave me that extra nudge to get it done. Thankfully, an opportunity came through to review an Edwardian Child’s Apron eClass by Sense & Sensibility. Last year, we had picked up some fabric on clearance, but I wasn’t sure what we would use it for at the time. Munchkin really liked it, so we went ahead and purchased the two coordinating fabrics. I checked the pattern and found that we had…

TOS Schoolhouse Planner Review

Posted in Homemaking, Homeschooling, and Reviews

Moving across country has completely thrown off our schedule. Organization? Hmm… we’re trying to be organized, but somehow complete organization has gone out the window. A new state, a new climate, a new time zone, a new house… It’s time to regroup and rethink a few things. This new beginning allows us to start fresh. We can add in new things and take away things that won’t work. I was thrilled when I learned that I would have the opportunity to review the TOS 2009 Schoolhouse Planner. Having seen some of the preview pages, I thought this might be exactly…

Painting, Painting, and More Painting…

Posted in Homemaking, and Thoughts

Over the weekend, we went and visited family in North Carolina. Munchkin enjoyed playing with her cousins and her Grandma for a few days. We know that once we move these times will be far less frequent. We’ve been taking advantage of these opportunities as much as possible. We arrived home on Tuesday and received some news about the sale of our house (not good). I had planned on getting the trailer organized this week, and getting back to a more normal schedule with Munchkin’s schooling. The news changed all of that. To make a long story short, I had…

Strawberry Picking

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

We love that time of year where the strawberries are ready for picking. Yummy!! Since the critters around our house keep eating all of the strawberries that we planted this year, we headed over to the strawberry field. Daddy and Munchkin searching for the best spot to start picking berries. Daddy does not enjoy picking berries, but he decided that he would join us anyway. I like to quickly pick the berries as it can get rather warm out in the sun. I forgot to put on my new hat, so the sun was beating down on me. Munchkin listened…

Thanksgiving Dinner in May

Posted in Homemaking, and Thoughts

In November, when all of the Thanksgiving fixings are inexpensive, I love to purchase an extra turkey (or two) to put in the freezer. I also buy extra cranberry sauce and yams. These make for an inexpensive meal throughout the year. Since we’re trying to eat mainly out of the freezer and pantry right now to get ready for the move, we decided that it was time for a yummy Thanksgiving dinner – in May. Munchkin was thrilled to get to eat turkey and sweet potato muffins. The good thing is the leftovers will be great the rest of the…
