Before I share our homeschool curriculum, I think you will get a kick out of this. So I've been planning our year for weeks now trying to get all of my ducks in a row and gather all of my books and supplies. I was ready! We dove into History and I thought, this is fascinating to me as an adult but my third grader was falling asleep and I could barely hold his attention. I tried looking online for supplemental activities but I couldn't find any fun activities for how the Quakers conducted ... continue reading...
Tamale Pie with Chipotle Cheddar Cornbread
I can't believe I've kept this recipe to myself. I discovered Tamale Pie when I was in college and I've been tweaking and trying different recipes for years but I think I am finally satisfied with my final recipe.

Embracing Change
I have a love and hate relationship with change. I hate it but at the same time I long for it. I have this inner bell that goes off every time I start getting comfortable and stable and it drives me nuts. I love a fresh start, a new project, a clean crisp page, an unsharpened pencil, a blank canvas, a white wall, the sun rising but I also love a schedule, my to do list, my routine... the sight of these things, makes me giddy.
