Pajama Tuesdays

May 8, 2019 Katy 1 Comment

On Mondays, we do grocery shopping. On Wednesdays, we go to the library. And on Tuesdays, we wear pajamas. My children know this now. If we happen to have something scheduled on a Tuesday, they gasp and say, "But Mom, that means you have to get dressed!" We didn't always do things this way. But for this current season of life, Pajama Tuesday is a must. You see, I am an introvert. In simple terms, that means that I recharge by being alone. And let me tell you, as a homeschooling … [Read more...]

2019 Day In The Life Of Our Homeschool

March 5, 2019 Katy 4 Comments

It's time for another day in the life of our homeschool! This was last Tuesday. I had worked at Dunkin' the night before and didn't get to bed until late. For those joining from Simple Homeschool, we are a family of 7. My husband Jesse is in his first year of a doctorate program, and our kids are Jonah (age 9), Matthew (age 7), Hannah (age 5), Elizabeth (age 4), and Sarah (age 1). Somewhere around 5:30am: Sarah starts whining AGAIN. I pull her into our bed for the third time since my … [Read more...]

Getting Food On The Table When It’s Hard

January 2, 2019 Katy Leave a Comment

What's for dinner? Or lunch? What's for snack? What's for breakfast? I don't know about you, but I hear these questions constantly at my house. And while I've been able to cut down on them slightly by having our menu board on the fridge for those who can read, I still always have people asking me what food we're having next. And even once I've taken the step to plan out meals and snacks for seven people (which is a big ordeal), and I've done the shopping (which is an even bigger ordeal), … [Read more...]

How Meal Planning Is Helping Make Memories

September 25, 2018 Katy 2 Comments

When your kids are grown and they've left the house, what sorts of things do you want them to remember from their childhood? Maybe that's a heavy question for a Tuesday morning.  But I was thinking about this the other day, and about what has stuck with me over the years. One of the things I remember most from growing up is the time spent around the dining room table. I remember back when I was just about seven years old, and my brother was just a baby. My dad got up earlier to go … [Read more...]

Why I Changed My Mind About The Instant Pot

January 30, 2018 Katy Leave a Comment

For a long time, I resisted getting an Instant Pot.  I had several reasons. I didn't want to spend the money.  I didn't see the need for another kitchen appliance.  I didn't want to learn something new.  I hate buying things just because they are trendy. And then, I got one for Christmas anyways.  And guess what? I actually like the thing. My biggest reason for not wanting an Instant Pot was that I didn't see the point.  I have a crockpot, which I still love, even after the most recent … [Read more...]
