Labeling get's easier! Years ago, I worked in an office. My office and desk area was always neat and clean and organized. Labeling my files made it easier for me to know where my paperwork needed to be, making it easier for me to thumb through and find things when I needed them. Coming home to manage the home once our family began, was quite interesting. I looked at my kitchen and could not … [Read more...]

Pressure Cooker? My mom used to use a pressure cooker years ago. That big green pot always scared me! She would always say stay away from it with a very stern voice! That little nozzle on top would wiggle so much and so quickly and make that hissing noise like it was going to blow any minute! So I never ventured to use one with 4 small children in the house. However, recently she introduced me t … [Read more...]

I found this great collapsible, dishwasher safe (yes I love putting it in the dishwasher) Cover. … [Read more...]

Recently, I saw this quote on a picture on social media telling me that “using a scripted curriculum is like demanding Picasso use paint by numbers”. Luckily Picasso was a smart man when it came to his art. He could see a beautiful creation and represent it on canvas. That is pretty clever, if I do say so myself. However, usually his works of art were placed on canvas from something that was alr … [Read more...]
