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

Canada was highlighted, especially since North America’s oldest city, Quebec, is turning 400. Another Canadian destination spot mentioned… Read More A Kindred Spirit Turns 100
Been meaning to post this one for awhile. I received another care package of avocados a few weeks back! So exciting. The return address was San Antonio, TX and there was a nice note inside telling me to enjoy them – but no name. It didn’t take me too long – a quick email –… Read More Avocado Avalanche

Over math? Really?”… Read More Life Ruined at age 11 – Mother and Saxon Math Alleged Perpetrators

Cooper gave me a gift card to Barnes and Noble for Mother’s Day, and so I was able to buy a Smoothies “cookbook” that I have had my eye on for a while. I’ve also recently been influenced by a cookbook called Nourishing Traditions (more on that in the future) and its exhortation to eat… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Silly Over Smoothies
Jen tagged me for this “get to know you” game. The Rules: 1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. 2. Each player answers the questions about themselves. 3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves… Read More Five Things (tagged by Jen!)
Kayla is ending her second grade year with several performances. She participated in a very small, but wonderful children’s choir at First Baptist Church with her friends Hannah, Torie, and Mary this semester. It was led by two gifted musicians who took the time to teach the girls the basics of music and vocal performance.Last… Read More Kayla’s Week to Shine
