Greek Inspired Pasta Salad

Summer is in full swing here, complete with hot and humid weather, sprinklers, running around outside, going for walks, and enjoying life. My cooking inspiration has completely fallen off.  I think that happens in the summer.  It is hot, who wants to cook. Because of that I have been trying to make some salads to have on hand.  I’m sure I’m not the only one! Having food … [Read more...] about Greek Inspired Pasta Salad

That summer I came across a wonderful blog called Pocket Farm.  Unfortunately Liz shut down her blog several years ago.  But, the summer of 2007, she introduced me to One Local Summer. OLS was a kind of link up before there were link ups, a challenge I guess would be more appropriate. … [Read more...] about One Local Summer revisited

When I was choosing curriculum for this coming yea When I was choosing curriculum for this coming year I thought I was totally on top of things, just to realize when I was laying everything out that I totally forgot to get science for my 7th grader. 🤦🏼‍♀️

We chatted a bit about what he wanted to do, and what he decidedly DID NOT want to do, and we came up with the #scienceunlocked kits from @homesciencetools 

I am sharing an unboxing of the four kits we chose as well as my first thoughts. 
You can find the video at the link in my profile.

I think that it is going to be a great science year for him!
