Wednesday Hodgepodge



Has spring sprung in your little corner of the world? Other than the calendar how would I know? What's your favorite thing about spring?

The first way you would know is by the moaning and groaning I am doing from all of my arthritis acting up. The slow-brewing stormy weather of spring and pressure changes makes me miserable! Otherwise around here it is the usual: more green, more birds, warmer temps.

More green, more birds, warmer temps.

How does Easter impact you?

I saw this somewhere on Facebook and thought it would make a fun Hodgepodge question. Which of the following would you find most disappointing ... a just-stuffed taco shell breaking open and spilling out before you take the first bite? dropping a just-purchased Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts coffee? opening the peanut butter jar and finding it empty? upending a just-purchased ice cream cone? a burnt bagel popping up in your toaster when you're rushing breakfast? or cutting into an avocado and finding out it's rotten?

It might surprise you that I am not picking a just-purchased cup of coffee, because coffee can be replaced. But my burnt carby bagel of goodness cannot. And that would completely bum me out, especially first thing in the morning!

What's something held together with tape at your house? Or a paper clip? Or a wing and a prayer?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the back of a picture frame. However, there's pretty much nothing that can't be fixed around here by this Macgyverette. I can use household items to fix just about anything.

Do you feel underappreciated? In what way?

I do not feel underappreciated by my husband or children. They are all very good about thanking me for things that I do for them and I know that they appreciate me. Now, misunderstood by anyone other than them that, in turn, makes me feel underappreciated? Yes.

What's something you'd build if you knew how?

I'd tear down our back deck and garage and build an all-new setup. And I would sneak in a chicken coop even though we aren't supposed to have them within city limits.

Insert your own random thought here.


This would be a yummy Easter dinner!!

  2. Yum! I love flank steak, so might have to try that. Not on Easter though. Gotta have ham with a side of pineapple stuffing on Easter : )

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.
