Can you believe it's almost back to school time? Some local schools have already started - in fact, my husband had his first day of class yesterday. We start our homeschool year on Labor Day, because I like starting at the beginning of September, and that's usually how it works out. Who says you can't start on a holiday? Here's what we are using for our lessons this year. We'll have Jonah in 3rd grade, Matthew in 2nd grade, and Hannah in kindergarten. Elizabeth and Sarah will hang out … [Read more...]
Easy Gluten Free One Pot Meals
I don't know about you, but heading into the back-to-school season makes me think I need some quick and easy meals. Maybe you do too? All of these recipes are either already gluten free, or can easily be made so by using gluten free pasta, or another simple substitution. One Pot Pasta Meals Pasta is probably the easiest thing to make as a one pot meal. That's why they're so popular! Sausage Spinach Skillet (pictured above). This is a favorite at our house.

Some of it was just because we weren't in a routine yet (normally I shop on Mondays), so we went more often. As a result, we spent a bit more than I would have liked. But prices are also lower here than they were in Oregon, so even though I felt like we were buying a ton of groceries, we didn't end up spending as much money as I thought. I guess that's a win? Once we reached the end of the … [Read more...]
Books And Things: June and July 2018
This has been a busy summer. That's putting it mildly. We've managed to get unpacked and mostly settled, and I've jumped into planning for the quickly approaching homeschool year. But in the few cracks between, I've managed to read a couple good books. Beartown by Fredrik Backman. I got this from the library in early June, right about the time we were traveling down to Texas for house hunting. I picked it because I keep hearing about it (and it's sequel) and how they're really great … [Read more...]
