Healthy Kids and Healthy Me : Giving Up Soda for a Cause

I’m not going to lie.  I’m wincing a little as I write this.  Not because I’m in physical pain, but because mentally I have convinced myself that I need something — something that this month, I’m not going to have  — something I love — something that I have been known to hide from the [...]

I’m on a quest to reduce the sugar in our family’s diet.  I’m excited about the potential changes – for weight, for health, for just feeling better.  My family … not so much.    Don’t get me wrong.  None of them have anything against being a healthy weight, being in the best possible health or [...]

Creating a History Timeline Notebook

On April 21, 2012, in DIY Projects/Gifts, Homeschool, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

One of the challenges, with teaching children, is to find a way to help them digest, organize and retain information.  Over our two decades of homeschooling, I’ve learned that one way to be successful at that is to be sure your students experience the information in several different ways.  Allow them not just to read [...]

On April 20, 2012, in Appetizers, Giveaways, In the Kitchen, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

I can’t believe how many times a week I reach for this handy tool and how I managed before I had it.  I’m guessing I was a lot more content with uneven slices or just skipping recipes that called for too much slicing.  I definitely didn’t make chips of any kind for our family, because [...]
