Menu Planning Monday – June 15
Last week Zachary & Serenity made breakfast all week long. They set their alarm and got up at 6a.m. and had it ready by 7! Usually we eat at 8-8:30 so this was quite an adjustment for me. Serenity was pretty tired by the end of the week, missing that extra hour of rest in the morning time. Zachary is an early bird so it was not unusual for him. This week I’m back on breakfast duty. This week things needed to be simple since my friend and her kids will be spending most of the week with us. We’re going to be busy sewing (besides LOTS of jabbering) so…

A Little Crafty Advice, if You Please
I bought this plate recently at Goodwill for half off – $2.50. I may not be the most savvy of decorators but I’m pretty sure the previous owner didn’t make a wise choice when they used blue/red ribbon with a pink plate. It kinda makes me want to shudder when I look at it. But take that ribbon off and I don’t think it’s half bad. The problem is my house isn’t pink, much to my husband and boys’ delight; 🙂 so I want to paint the plate white. I thought I read somewhere that this was possible. Is it? If so, what special paint should I use?

Learning Geography Along the Way
I’ve seen the idea around for years – place a map on your table and cover it with a clear plastic tablecloth. Then when you are eating you can look at the map and discuss different places. I always liked the thought but never followed through on the idea until my sister implemented it. Ha! You thought you were the only one who needed inspiration, sis? We all do from time to time. My sister has her atlas on the table with a clear protective cover over it. She then places pictures of missionaries who live in the country/continent they are studying onto the map and during the week the children pray for…
