Luckily, my little is starting to enjoy some of these activities – like picking the peaches from our tree, grocery shopping, baking/cooking, and gardening and I love spending time with her doing these activities too!

while I went on a girls weekend away with some college friends. Sunday: Dinner was grilled pork chops, fresh strawberries, and any leftover odds & ends in the fridge. Tip #1: I slow cooked 2 bone-in chicken breasts and 2 packs of chicken thighs and used some of the meat for Monday nights dinner. Such a yummy treat.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste.
