Homeschool and Homemaking Interview

homeschoolers at home

Hello dear readers! I have just a short post for you today. A friend and fellow member of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, Kemi of Homemaking Organized, is running a series of interviews with homeschoolers. She’s exploring such topics as homeschooling methods, average daily schedule, and balancing homeschooling with homemaking. Today is the day my interview is up on her blog. I hope you’ll take a moment to click through and read it. While you’re there, poke around on Kemi’s site for a while. She has tons of tips for homemaking, saving money, and her life as a homeschool mom of one daughter.

Have a great day, and I’ll be back later this week with more thoughts!

Blessings,

Because they weren’t of the “sweetened dried” variety, I’m not sure how to use these cranberries in any way other than to make sauce, so I did that one night last week to go with a roasted chicken. As I was pulling the berries out of the fridge, Small Fry was right up with me, begging for a berry. What he didn’t know was that uncooked, unsweetened cranberries are not very palatable. So I handed him one, knowing what his reaction would be, and told him to wait a minute to eat it until I could get the camera ready. His response was pretty much exactly what I expected: a disgusted face and pulling that berry out of his mouth just as fast as he could! My camera shutter was a bit too slow to capture the face, but you can see him frantically scraping his tongue. What a funny boy! [Read more…]
