So, we’ve been on a bit of a spinach kick lately. Personally, I love spinach and Squeaker seems to be following in my footsteps. Kyle, while he did not grow up liking spinach, has taken a liking to it as an adult. Lucky me because that means I can try out all the spinach recipes I want! So, when I wanted another opportunity to cook with quinoa I googled and found a recipe that was right up my alley. With a few modifications and we had a tasty turkey, quinoa, and spinach casserole. Not that the original wasn’t tasty, but we wanted to make our own modifications to it. You can find the original recipe on iFoodReal. So, yes… delicious and tasty. Also hearty and…

Learning About World Landmarks

With Sweet B’s week off from school, we did some of the activities that we would normally do in our afterschooling during the day. First, we reinforced her Letter A skills. And the next thing that we did was use our Early Explorers kit from last month so we could start learning about world landmarks. I wasn’t sure how Sweet B was going to do with this particular set, but then it was just a matter of tailoring it to fit her abilities. Just like everything we do with her afterschooling, I modify what I need to modify so she can accomplish it but still be challenged.

This post was originally published on March 4, 2015 and was a central focus of my Ditch the Junk for Lent Challenge- 40 Days to a Better Me. If you’re still with me for the Ditch the Junk for Lent Challenge, welcome to Week 3! The first two weeks focused on healthier eating by ditching the junk food and reducing sugar intake. Now, for my next focus area, I’m moving on to clutter and organization. If you recall, I have three areas that I’m focusing on (Detoxify, Destress, and Declutter). Today, I want to share with you 7 steps to decluttering and how to start letting go. For me, this is a huge problem. Both Kyle and I are very sentimental people and well, I’ll…

Tex Mex Inspired Casserole Easy to Make and Easy to Modify Since I completely missed yesterday’s Meal Planning and recipe share, I’m posting this today. This is something that I originally saw in Better Homes and Gardens but has since become something that we turn to often. We’ve tried making this with both ground beef and with ground turkey and while the ground turkey does hold its own, we prefer the ground beef. Alternately, you could use a meat substitute of your choice if you want to turn this into a more vegetarian friendly meal.

Have a Seuss Inspired Day With three free printable quotes and a fun Round Up March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday and is also marked as Read Across America day. You can grab free printables from Seussville to have a Seuss inspired day and I’m also happy to share with you a few of my favorite Seuss inspired posts from across the blogosphere. Dr. Seuss is a theme that we’ll definitely include in Tot School and homeschool preschool (perhaps beyond, if we continue with formal homeschooling). I think that there’s a lot of fun to be had with any Dr. Seuss book. I’m also sharing with you a few printable Dr. Seuss quotes. I anticipate having more to share on March 2nd, but for now,…

Afterschooling with Sweet B- Letter A

Afterschooling with Sweet B: All About the Letter A I wanted to share with you, one of our afterschooling sessions now that we have most of the components in place. Last week, Sweet B was off from school for February break so I thought we could try some of her afterschooling stuff during the day instead. Prior to this we had only been using a simple system that wasn’t really formal or had a set routine. Now, of course, it’s a matter of integrating the afterschooling activities throughout the week in their correct time. But, the premise is the same when we did this over the course of last week. To kick things off, we’re learning all about the letter A.
