When I heard the words airplane museum I immediately got a mental picture of dusty, rusty, old airplanes sitting around in rows. BORING right? Well, my perception of airplanes was changed when we visited the Fantasy of Flight near Orlando, Florida. Fantasy of Flight is a collection of airplanes that belong to Kermit Weeks. There…
A GF, DF, Meat Free, & Oat Free Breakfast Round Up
I have the hardest time coming up with breakfast options. Gluten free isn’t that hard, but when you take away dairy and meat and oats that makes it insane to find options for that most important meal of the day. Lunch and dinner weren’t as big a problem for me because I found some vegan…
Menu Plan Monday!
Well, this week was a bit of a bust! Evidentially, frozen gluten-free vegan vegetable lasagna is not that great when you thaw it out. Add in adjusting a strong-willed toddler’s sleeping patterns back to normal…well you have some exhaustion and for me that kills all my desire to cook. We managed though! I didn’t have…
Homeschool Memories: Washington, DC
For my fifteenth birthday my mom took me and my best friend on a trip to Washington, DC to visit the Smithsonian and Holocaust Museums. Rather a morbid trip for a birthday, but I was so excited. During my school work I read something that peaked my interest about the Holocaust and World War II….
What I Learned From My Detox Diet
I started a modified version of the Whole Living’s beginning of the year Detox Diet in hopes of stopping my addition to sugar. I also wanted to celebrate Lent and prepare for Easter. Here’s the beginning of my journey and here’s where I ended up! These are the things I learned over the past six…
Menu Plan Monday!
The detox diet is over…yesterday was a wonderful celebration/feast of both the end of the diet and Easter! It’s nice to be done, but one thing I’m going to continue doing (especially in light of the way I feel this morning!) is seriously cutting back on my sugar. Last week was Spring Break around here…
Homeschool Memories: Toronto Trip Continued…
Did you miss Part 1 or Part 2? The tour of first post office in Toronto was fascinating. The tour guide there showed us how they folded their paper to make it look like an envelope since envelopes weren’t used back then. It’s a skill that I still use today! For lunch that day we…
Food Substitute: Soda
When I was a wee tad I used to love soda. My mom was wise in only letting it be an occasional food, but I still have some fun memories of it. I used to watch people drink Coke out of glass bottles. Really–I’m not that old, but when you grow up in a third…
Menu Plan Monday: Detox Week 6
Week six! The last week of Detox! I loved having my favorite Portobello Tacos again last week. They are a bit on the spicy side, but they taste so good! Unfortunately, I made the choice to have them on tortilla chips one day and the chips had some oat bran in the them. Yuck! Why…
Homeschool Memories: Toronto Trip Continued
One of my favorite stops was Casa Loma. It’s a huge castle in Toronto with 98 rooms, 33 of which are bathrooms! The owner, Sir Henry Mill Pellant, was extremely rich and extravagant in building his castle. He was the owner for less than 10 years. It took 300 men nearly 3 years to complete…
