Zucchini Bread
My dad is an awesome gardener. He always has a bumper crop of zucchini. My family doesn’t really like it as a vegetable but devours it when I make zucchini bread. Here is the recipe I use. (I usually have to double it and make multiple batches to use all the squash he gives us.) 3 cups shredded zucchini (I use my Salad Shooter to shred the squash) 1 2/3 cups sugar 2/3-cup vegetable … Continue reading
Results of Fun in the Mud
I thought I’d join in the Show & Tell Friday Group this week and share a picture I took of my oldest son and his truck after an evening of fun in the begining of June. Although he had a great time the day before, it took him weeks to get his truck clean. The vehicle is really silver. I guess boys never out grow playing in the dirt.

That isn’t to say that everything on the lists gets done, but it helps me to … Continue reading

After reviewing this past year’s schedule, I have decided to streamline our studies and place more emphasis on the subjects that I think the kids need to work on more diligently. … Continue reading
Girls Scout Camp News
Whew! What a great week at camp! This is my fifth year working at Girl Scout camp. The first 3 years I had the ‘tag-a-longs’ (volunteers’ kids, mostly boys). Then last year I had 3rd year Juniors, which I really enjoyed. This year I had a group of 30 Brownies. I work with Brownies during the year even though my daughter is a Junior. This way she gets a break from me. (LOL) Each year … Continue reading
