Sue Gregg Cookbooks Review
Posted in Homemaking, Homeschooling, and Reviews
SueGreggCookbooksWhole Foods Recipes For Healthy Home Cooking I was very excited to learn that I would have the opportunity to test out one of Sue Gregg’s cookbooks.

Posted in Homeschooling, and Thoughts
Yesterday, I was able to finish up with all of the painting which meant a more relaxing day today. The thunderstorms that rolled through last night cooled things off a bit, so the weather was absolutely wonderful for Munchkin’s baseball game. As we approach the last game of the season (next Saturday), we can see how much the kids have grown in their baseball knowledge and skills. Munchkin has gained a new found love of the game. Next week, they’ll have their award ceremony. We’ll be sad to say goodbye to our homeschool league, but we’ve been grateful for the…
