Yikes, the last day of the year! We have had a busy two weeks with a wedding in the family and Christmas celebrations. But we are now ready to get back to a somewhat normal scheduled. Time to get back to homeschooling and to clean up the gift tornado that has hit my kitchen as we did a lot of running in and out this weekend to our family Christmas gatherings. Yes, both after Christmas, it's what worked for both of our families this year.<br />
I'm keeping it simple this week, right now I don't have the energy to be cooking anything fantastic. And now that I only grocery shop every two weeks, I have to make due with what is in the house as this is not a shopping week.<br />

I'm often asked where I get my ideas.....<a href="http://pinterest.com/tarafv/" target="_blank">PINTEREST</a>. <br />
I can't say to much more than that. Lets be serious, of course I can say more!<br />
I spend way to much time on <a href="http://pinterest.com/tarafv/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. <br />
I have however tried numerous things and been pleased.<br />
However even getting recipes off Pinterest I still change them up to suit my family. We try to stay away from processed foods and to eat as clean as we can. Sticking to organic and <a href="http://www.nongmoproject.org/" target="_blank">Non-GMO</a> foods as much as possible. <br />
When ever I post a picture with my meal plan you can generally click on the picture and it will take you to my Pinterest, then you can click again and it will take you to the source with the recipe.<br />
<br />
On to this week. Nothing on my calendar as far as meetings. I will remember to keep my more detailed meals early in the week and my easy go to meals later in the week when I have way less energy to make something. My aim is to have a small grocery list.<br />

My kids love love love cinnamon rolls. When I can, I make them my <a href="http://the-lifeofus.blogspot.ca/2011/06/no-rise-cinnamon-rolls.html" target="_blank">no rise cinnamon rolls</a>, but with my kids lack of sleeping in, I have been so tired and not been up to making them lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much to my kids joy, I have discovered an even easier way to make cinnamon rolls!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Enter in Trader Joe's pre made pizza Dough! Add some cinnamon, butter and brown sugar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And my kids are happy!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You really can't get more simple than that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn your oven to 350 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dust your work surface with some flour and roll out the dough into a rough rectangle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a bit harder when you are tired.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning my butter was frozen so I sorta chunked it out onto the dough, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
normally when it's softer I used my hands to spread it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I went a bit overboard with the butter, but it was good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you add the brown sugar and cinnamon, no measurements, sorry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gently roll the dough up and cut into pieces with a serrated knife. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiAHgxfu3UdgkcOCdSKQyRQbN5RLuWCkK8H4ePX5rL0eD_rtvvZbBDrVmwWMzsfvb_VwLbz65edNw2jKIgU_LwZIzu_ibkYqRatuAjKg5CoyhmYUQlK_rU8TPEFHTEEc-vYy8R-5WNy4/s1600/October+2012+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipiAHgxfu3UdgkcOCdSKQyRQbN5RLuWCkK8H4ePX5rL0eD_rtvvZbBDrVmwWMzsfvb_VwLbz65edNw2jKIgU_LwZIzu_ibkYqRatuAjKg5CoyhmYUQlK_rU8TPEFHTEEc-vYy8R-5WNy4/s320/October+2012+007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you put the pieces into the pan, you can leave a bit of room between them, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but they won't rise much more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake for about a half an hour, but keep on eye on them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When they are turning a nice golden brown, they are done.</div>

I realized last week that right now I shouldn't be planning any meals that take extra effort for the end of the week. I need to keep those at the start of the week when I seem to have more energy. I didn't make the Eggs Up but rather pulled a meatloaf out of the freezer.<br />
<br />
We have a pretty low key week. Other than a visit from my homeschool teacher to see what I've been up to and Karate for the boy tonight we are free and clear.<br />
<br />
Remember you can click on the picture of the meal to lead you to my pinterest page, then to the website with the recipe. <br />

I'm one week post op and I can feel it. I'm grateful for those people who dropped of meals last week. It was so so helpful. My recovery is 6 weeks so I need to make sure I don't overdue it.<br />
Today I'm still not feeling great and don't know if there are any more meals on the way so I need to make sure I do my menu plan so I can remember what I need to take out of the freezer each day.<br />
So my menu plan will be lack luster with no fun new things to try. But plan I will.<br />
<br />

I'm expecting to be feeling better next week, but I still need to take it slow.<br />

It's that time again. Monday. <br />
Last week I was asked what we do for breakfast and lunch and where I get me recipes from.<br />
I really should plan breakfast and lunch, but I don't. So often it's on the fly. Breakfast will consist of most often toast, from sprouted grain organic bread, my boy loves eggs and will often have an egg on toast. I'll make pancakes, french toast or another favorite of the kids is oatmeal. We rarely do cereal as I can't find a nice organic one we all like that doesn't cost a crazy amount of money.<br />
Lunches, if there are leftovers we will do that. If we didn't have toast for breakfast we may have for lunch. My kids love guacamole so I often will make that for lunch or popcorn and yogurt. It's generally pretty low key. My boy doesn't like cheese, but for a treat I'll make the girly Annie's organic mac and cheese and the boy will have an egg on toast.<br />
<br />
I'm a Pinterest Junkie. The majority of my recipe are from <a href="http://pinterest.com/tarafv/food-yummy-goodness/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> or my own head. I love to search recipes for a base idea and then change it up to suit my family. I add as many veggies as I can to whatever I'm cooking. So my kids are used to eating things like kale and swiss chard mixed in with everything. I don't believe in hiding the veggies in a meal, I want my kids to realize they are eating it and do like it. <br />
I try to remember to plan my week with my more labor intensive meals at the start and easier ones later in the week, when I'm not as energetic to make something big. Also, checking the calendar to see what we have going on for the week is always a good idea so I don't plan a big meal when I have an appointment and realistically can't get it made.<br />
I have a handful of meals that I know are my family favorites and my kids don't argue about eating. I almost always make sure to have a family favorite the day following a new meal. I try to make soup once or twice a week and I also try to have a vegetarian meal once a week. I don't always accomplish all this, but the key work is try. <br />
And if I don't stick to my menu plan I don't stress.<br />

I'm fairly certain the above picture clearly demonstrates how our day went. Things pretty much deteriorated and crashed right after this picture. And remained that way for the rest of the day.<br />
<br />
I had planned a trip to the library and the lake to see the ducks, to go with the book we are reading. However, due to bad attitudes all around, yes, including mommy, this was cancelled. We headed home after some errands and we were all sent to our rooms, yes, including mommy.<br />
<br />
I had a feeling that the day was going to be difficult. My kids were very amped up when we sat down to start. I should have made them run laps first or something.<br />
We did have some good school time, but not what I planned. And I have a hard time when things don't go as planned. I need to learn to be more flexible with this and have a 'plan B'.<br />

I sent an exasperated email to a friend and she sent me back some encouragement. And reminded me it takes time to figure out what works for each kid. It's good to be reminded I can do this. And growing pains are going to happen.<br />
<br />
The entire day was a difficult one. And I won't be receiving any Yay Mom awards any time soon.<br />
Tomorrow, I plan to take it a bit easy and ensure we do some fun 'school' things. I knew I would have some difficult times with homeschooling, I was warned. I just didn't expect it on day two!Tara Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823753718567622350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615264566436781282.post-91649694213548590892012-08-27T20:46:00.001-07:002012-08-27T20:46:55.351-07:00What our first day of Homeschool looked like<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
People have been asking me why I'm starting early with homeschool. I have a lot going on the next two months including surgery and a 10 day trip to Mexico. So I wanted to get started and get some things set. Not to mention how excited my kids are to get going. I think I'll take advantage of their excitement while it's there.<br />
I wanted to get going by 9am, with the kids dressed and breakfast in them. It worked out well considering my girl was up at 5am. Breakfast was some organic ancient grain pancakes, a favorite of ours.<br />

We started with a series that has come highly recommended. Five in a Row. You read one book for the week and it covers Math, Art, Science, Geography and Social Studies. It's pretty great. You read the book each day and review one subject. Today we did math, which consisted of counting a lot of thing in the book. This week we are doing The Story of Ping.<br />

<br />
The kids were excited, but 5 minutes in, they wanted to know when recess and snack time were. But they seem to really enjoy the story and looking at the pictures to count different things.<br />
Next we did some color recognition and sorting with beads, to help with their fine motor skills. I then had them string the beads on corresponding pipe cleaners. <br />

Then we had recess! I sent the kids outside to play. I didn't time them. But they came back in about 20 minutes later wanting more 'school'<br />
My boy sat down to practice number writing and my girl sat down to color.<br />

I would say it was a great first day. We cleaned up and headed out to the dentist and come home to have cereal. Yup, that's right, nothing fantastic, just cereal. They had a great rest of the day. And in the afternoon they wanted to play volleyball. Daddy has been teaching them volleyball. So after dinner it was some volleyball, trampoline time and races.<br />

And yes, my boy is in his underwear, and yes, it's on backwards. He is fully aware of this. He likes to see the pictures...so he wears them backwards. I don't ask anymore.<br />

It's time to get back to my menu planning. We've eaten out more than we should and it's time to tighten the purse strings and get back on track.<br />
We have a lot coming up in the next two months, starting homeschooling for the first time, surgery for me with a 6 week recovery and a 10 day trip to Mexico with my family.<br />
I feel like that's a lot for me. But my kids are super keen to get going with school so we are starting earlier then most Canadian kids. I figure I need to take advantage of their excitement and get going. Who knows, soon enough they may not be so keen and I'll be happy I took advantage of this time.<br />
<br />
So back into Menu Planning...<br />

We ended up eating out 2x, not good.<br />
Today my inspiration for menu planning is not with me, so I will do the best I can. We can't afford another week like last week. I'm hoping to have to do little to no grocery shopping. Our garden lettuce is ready and so is our kale so I'll see if I can work that into the menu.<br />

Well, the weather man called for rain. So we cancelled our camping trip. Our week went well. We are spending a ton of time at our garden. Having dinner a bit early and heading out after dinner, the kids play and we work. My husband and I are really enjoying our garden and working in it.<br />
On to our menu for this week.....<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>MONDAY</i></b></span> <br />
my husband is off so I hope to be at the garden<br />
for a good chunk of the day with the family<br />
so we will do a freezer Meal<br />
Ham with mashed potatoes<br />
Salad<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>TUESDAY</i></b></span><br />
Spaghetti with meat sauce<br />
Salad<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>WEDNESDAY</i></b></span><br />
My boys 5th birthday!<br />
I don't really do parties for the kids<br />
just an extended family dinner<br />
BBQ homemade Burgers<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>THURSDAY</i></b></span><br />
BBQ Chicken<br />
BBQ Potatoes<br />

but we'll figure it out the night before<br />
we often order in rather then go out,<br />
it's much easier with the kids<br />
and we find it is often cheaper as well<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>SATURDAY</i></b></span><br />
We are going to visit my folks at the lake<br />
so my dad will likely make dinner for us<br />

It's been a tough year. I've been working hard to keep up on my Menu Plans for the most part.<br />
I really don't want to give apologies. It is what it is, life is difficult. I totally love writing. I miss writing and working on my blog. <br />
Life has been overwhelming. The changes in our lives since the tragic death of my brother in law have deeply affected us. My idea of how the accident took place is in my brain like the pictures on the wall in your house. It's always there. Grief and sadness are a constant companion. I've not only lost my brother in law, but really, my sister also. She is forever changed and finding her way in this mess of a tornado that took what was dear and dropped the rest of her life all over the place. I deeply miss my friendship with her, I feel like I lost that when Darren died. I am trying so very hard to understand it all.<br />
I've been working on decreasing my depression medication. I'm not sure how that's going. It's been very difficult. I'm constantly utterly exhausted. No matter what I try to gain energy, it seems to be out of my grasp. My emotions are on a fine line. My motivation to do anything is next to none. My patience with my children is not at it's finest. It's a complicated dance to figure out the right dose of medication. <br />
I've had some other medical issues going on as well. I finally have some answers and am having surgery in September to hopefully fix the issue.<br />
However along with this sob story of mine; God is constantly showing me His love and His presence in my life. He is forever good and constant. He has given me amazing and beautiful children. A patient and extraordinarily loving husband who goes above and beyond. God has reminded me time and again to give my energies to my family and He will bless me. To give my worries and sadness to Him. <br />
We all have difficult seasons. Mine is no more hard then yours, just different. <br />
This post is not a pity party, just to let you know why my blog posts are sparse. I'm busy working and learning to create a healthy and loving family. Expanding my knowledge and love. I really am hoping to get back to writing. To share the changes we are making in our family to be happy and healthy.Tara Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823753718567622350noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615264566436781282.post-49048845957227394522012-06-09T19:56:00.000-07:002012-06-11T06:27:50.892-07:00Menu Plan Monday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sometimes the weeks just fly by. We've had so much rain for the start of July, I've seen people call it Juluary! I've not made it to the garden, so I'm pretty sure it's going to take a fair amount of work to get it under control. We have camping coming up and our trailer should be pulled out this week so I can clean and pack it, so exciting!<br />

Once again, I didn't stick to my menu plan last week. However, with my folks here for most of the week we still ate at home with the exception of one night when we ordered in Pizza.<br />
My calendar is free this week. We have camping booked for the weekend, but might need to cancel it, we'll see how much I can get done this week preparing our trailer.<br />

We had beautiful weather this last week. I was able to spend hours in the garden and get it going along with burning my back. This is my first year gardening, but I have a friend helping me so it's going well. The weather this week calls for rain, which will be nice, my house has been neglected.<br />
I have a few newish things I'm trying this week, but nothing is to hard or labor intensive. Remember to click on the pictures to be brought to the recipe via my pinterest pins.<br />
