We are so proud of Kory who turns thirteen in just one week! We will miss his actual birthday, so we’ve been celebrating this week. Here he is at the end of a treasure hunt last Saturday where he found (in Kayla’s garden house) a new inflatable kayak. On Tuesday Kory invited 4 friends to… Read More Celebrating 13 years and Quest Complete (almost!)

We celebrated a bit of Kory’s 13th birthday as well as Father’s Day this weekend. We knew that on Saturday we would be giving Kory the gift of an inflatable kayak that we’d been planning all year, since we will miss his actual birthday while we are in Switzerland. So, we also planned a picnic… Read More Father’s Day Weekend

Just thought I would post a couple of the popsicle “recipes” I’ve been using. Again, these are inspired by the book Smoothies: 50 Recipes for High Energy Refreshment. The kids are really enjoying these and so far I think the favorites are the ones that follow. Honeydew Mint Popsicles 2 cups fresh honeydew, in chunks… Read More Gluten Free Friday
I realized the other day that I started this blog a year ago today. I was thinking mainly of the upcoming publication of my book when I started it, but now it is really just a fun way to keep in touch with friends, family, and fellow bloggers. Regarding my book though, I’ve sold close… Read More Anniversary and Heat Wave Here!
This weekend was full of endings. We finished school on Friday. (Mostly because the teacher was more than ready.) The kids each had their last piano lesson of the year and performed in a recital on Saturday. And the boys played their last baseball game immediately following the recital.It was Kayla’s first recital, and she… Read More Finished!
My friend Kim, who just found out she has Celiac, asked me to post our breakfast menu. I used to post it, but it was so redundant, I stopped. The meal corresponds to the day of the week by their first letters – except for Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays – unless you allow that “c”ereal… Read More Menu Monday – A Week of Gluten Free Meals
We (Kayla and I) spent time yesterday afternoon doing more work on the coop so that the chicks could possibly spend the night (and hopefully the rest of their lives!) outside. This entailed pulling some HUGE weeds out of the yard and the coop, “sewing” the rows of chicken wire together with wire “thread” along… Read More For the Birds
My friend Anne left a comment with this recipe a few weeks back. I think I’ve made them at least 3 times since she mentioned that these are a favorite treat of her daughter’s and hers. Thanks, Anne, for this quick, easy, and delicious gluten free treat – we even took them on a homeschool… Read More Gluten Free Friday
