food days

January 20, 2012 Bake

Where I used to spend much time in the basement sewing before Christmas, now I’ve been spending a considerable amount of time in the kitchen.  It has just happened naturally and slowly.  Now the girls gather chairs around the island to help throughout the day instead of just at dinner.  It has been a nice [...]

new spaces / new year: dinner helper

January 13, 2012 Creativity

It seems like all we do is prepare food, eat food, and clean up from eating food with a family of six.  Do you ever feel that way sometimes?  We recently started a chart of “dinner helpers” who are responsible for, well, helping with dinner.  Caroline, 6, and Johanna, 4, are the only two on [...]

new spaces / new year: a baking station

January 12, 2012 Bake

We don’t buy bread.  And for that reason, I am supposed to be on top of things in terms of baking our daily bread, rolls, etc.  This is definitely a weakness lately– just ask my family.  They know those days well by eating crackers with their lunch.  I’m pretty tired of it, too.  You see, [...]

a homemade water station mat

November 2, 2011 Children Tutorials

A few weeks ago, we had had it.  There were about 5 glasses per person, per day making their way into the dishwasher daily. I tried to figure out a way to keep one glass per child per day to keep down the washing and keep the girls (and myself) more responsible.  My solution was [...]

{If you missed photos from the apple picking itself, check them out here.} Apples are here and abundant in Pennsylvania.  For the past week + apples have been incorporated in many of our meals: sliced, dipped, baked, boiled, and so forth.

outdoor entertaining, simple

October 12, 2011 Bake

Simplicity has become the theme in my life.   I think it has been by default, with each new child that has entered my life and the more responsibilities on my plate. Buy yes, the simplicity is good for my soul.  It goes against what I would have wanted if I were younger and less realistic. [...]
