We are reading this delightful little book, by Ursula Vernon. What better to do on a sick day, than curl up on the sofa in your PJs and read a cute story about a little shrew and a fun little adventure that falls in his lap?
We also spent a little time surfing the internet for information [...]

Please continue to bear with me. I have some yummy recipes, LOTS of knitting, and some fun homeschool crafts and books we’ve been exploring that I am excited about sharing, but we’ve all been under the weather, my youngest has been quite ill and we are trying to buy our first house this week.

Coincidentally, this month’s Spider and Click are all about germs and being sick. We’ve been reading all about bacteria, allergens, playing doctor, and of course the ever fascinating “magnificent mucus” (the girls [...]

They turned out pretty well – I adapted the “recipe” from Feb 2009 Wonder Time magazine (although I skipped the cookie [...]

The night before last, while waiting for our kidney bean and brown rice stew to finish simmering on the stovetop, Little Hen asked if we could make a cake to serve after dinner. We didn’t have much time, and I was pretty tired, so we went for one of our easy favorites – Banana Sour Cream Cake. It’s [...]
