Winter & Homeschooling

January.  Snow & cold.

February.  Snow & more cold

Almost March?  I am SO ready for spring.  Many years I am ready in January.  This year hasn't been as bad for some reason.  We fill our days with school, Bible Quizzing, and daily life.  As you can see below Joshua is studying the human body.  Fun stuff! 

              Down time reading Calvin & Hobbes.

School has been on and off.  There's been illness here which makes things fun.  I've finally got my energy back after the surgery in December to replace my cornea so that is AWESOME!  Now if we could just see some green grass & be able to sit outside on the porch that would be perfect. 

(excuse the phone picture--at dusk is NOT the time to catch a great picture but that's often when I'm sitting on the porch watching the sunset)

I'm working on my patience with the weather.  What are you doing to fill these winter days?

Recipe Notebook Pages

Last week I posted about how helpful my new Recipe Notebooks have been in keeping me organized.  I need a paper copy of our "Family Favorites" so I don't have to go to Pinterest or another website every time I get ready to fix a snack or a meal.  My big 3 ring binder was bursting at the seams and this has been the perfect winter project as I look outside and dream of green grass and flowers!

Once I got my notebooks from Staples I was ready to put the recipes together so they were neat and tidy.  I created my format then got to work copy and pasting from Pinterest. 

Here is the finished product. 

I'm so close to being able to make these available for others to use!  It is so fun to create something useful!  These are 5 x 8 inch size but I'm working on a 8.5x11 inch size for those who want a larger notebook. 

Here are a few previews of the section pages!

Stay tuned.  Follow my Facebook page so you don't miss when these are available.
