Co-op Love!
Our family has joined a homeschool co-op. What this means is that families get together (in this case, about 80 families!) and together we offer classes, clubs, activities, and other fun things. The kids range from babes in slings to independent teenagers. So far ElvenTiger and I have been the ones exploring it, though BlackLion […]
Sharing the Joy of Journals
This fall, ElvenTiger and I joined a newly-formed homeschool co-op group in our area. Well, the whole family is a part of it, really, but we’re the ones who have gotten involved so far. ElvenTiger’s taking classes in basket-weaving and cooking, and next session will be helping teach a knitting class. She loves it. I’m […]
Bedtime Routine and The Between

Our first order includes miso, Bragg’s Amino Acids, soy sauce, and cumin seed. I’m sure we’ll […]

A couple of friends who have cool blogs have joined in, and so I’m contemplating whether I want to do the same. The rules are simple: “Post something […]
Cake of the Month: September
The cake for September was for a family potluck brunch. ElvenTiger and I made it together. We chose a recipe from an adorable cookbook, “The Redwall Cookbook” by Brian Jacques and Christopher Denise. It’s based on the Redwall series, which if you haven’t read them are wonderful kids’ books with talking animals, spirited adventures, and […]
Cake(s) of the Month: August
Still doing some catch-up on posting about my cake project. August is a very big birthday month for us, so yes, there were cakes! I didn’t make one for BlackLion, as he preferred to have homemade cherry chocolate-chip ice cream. It was yummy, but didn’t last long enough for a photo. Dryst wanted a lemon […]
