Friday in Elizabeth’s Kitchen

Oct 31st, 2008 | By The 3 Moms | Category: Kitchen of the Week

The last day of the week in my kitchen turned out to be the busiest of all! Earlier in the week our car broke down, so this morning I had to get up early and take my husband to work in our other car. I was back home before dawn.
To tide me over til breakfast, [...]



I May be Camping, but the Links Keep on Coming

Oct 31st, 2008 | By Toni | Category: Link Worthy

Here are a few posts I found interesting this week.
Sheri has written a great post about how to set up an email account for your children. She has included tips on how to keep your children’s email safe from all the yucky stuff that is out there.
Kate has written a great post about storing clothes [...]



Frugal Family Fun — All Year Round!

Oct 30th, 2008 | By Joy Miller | Category: Family Matters

My husband and I are homebodies. If given the choice, we’d prefer to stay home and read. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, our three children love the outdoors, and we don’t want them to be stuck indoors for their entire childhood. Unfortunately, our little town doesn’t have a decent playground, so going outside [...]



Thursday in Elizabeth’s Kitchen

Oct 30th, 2008 | By The 3 Moms | Category: Kitchen of the Week

For some reason I woke up this morning feeling like I hadn’t eaten in days — I was so hungry! So I made an extra large bowl of the usual oatmeal and ate the usual banana. Why be exciting when you can be boring, right? The only excitement was from a small cup of unsweetened [...]



Wednesday in Elizabeth’s Kitchen

Oct 30th, 2008 | By The 3 Moms | Category: Kitchen of the Week

Every home chef seems to have their own preferences on menu planning. I vacillate back and forth but mostly cook by the seat of my pants. On the one hand, prepared menus prevent staring at the fridge with no inspiration whatsoever, but for this season of life I find a planned menu more of a [...]

Tuesday in Elizabeth’s Kitchen

Oct 29th, 2008 | By The 3 Moms | Category: Kitchen of the Week

This morning was oatmeal again. I usually eat a banana either for breakfast or mid-morning snack, but unfortunately the bananas I bought last week went straight from green to brown, leaving me in the lurch the last few days. Brown bananas are not my thing.

Since the only fruit we had in the house was apples [...]



A Holiday From Homeschooling For The Holidays

Oct 28th, 2008 | By Kate Miller | Category: Christmas

The busy holiday season is quickly approaching. For all moms this can be a stressful time. I’ve found that adding homeschooling into the mix makes it an even busier and more stressful time. But it doesn’t have to be.
The year we began homeschooling, I was rough on myself as a teacher, and on Isabelle as [...]



Monday in Elizabeth’s Kitchen

Oct 28th, 2008 | By The 3 Moms | Category: Kitchen of the Week

Monday started with a late breakfast of oatmeal — using dishes straight from the counter where they’ve been drying since Saturday. It looked like today was going to be a day of catch-up in the kitchen, but trudging back and forth from the laundromat wore me out. Apples, bananas, and bell peppers are waiting to [...]
