New Blog Schedule

Drum roll please...

In an effort to be more organized, and since I have nothing better to do, I have decided to create a weekly schedule of feature posts! So without further ado:

Mondays: Housekeeping. This will include cleaning tips and tricks. Some of you who know me well will wonder what on Earth I know about this topic. I assure you that once upon a time, I was fastidious in the extreme. And if you don't believe me, just ask Brian. I used to drive him insane. He tried over the years to corrupt me and very nearly succeeded. It's the bedrest that has given me strength to fight back!

Tuesdays: Cooking My friends knowthat this is my favorite subject. FOOD IS LOVE! My Nana taught me how to cook as soon as I could stand on a stepstool and hold a spoon. Spending time with her in the kitchen was treasured time indeed. I hope you'll feel that warm fuzzy feeling each week as we sip coffee and talk food. In addition to the regular feature, please submit your favorite recipes - The theme for the following week's recipes will be posted every Tuesday. NEXT WEEK: Apples

Wednesdays: Organizing, Bookkeeping Oh, don't groan... I know it's a tedious task, but we'll make it fun, I promise! This is where you'll find my Household Management Series each week. We'll take it nice and slow and get through it together. OK?

Thursdays: Homeschooling I'll talk about curricula, approaches, books we're reading, outings and projects we're planning. At our little Home School, we have combined Classical and Charlotte Mason philosophies. It works beautifully for a big group of children of mixed ages. Now I know there are others of you who favor other approaches, so let's hear your suggestions, I'm sure there's room for some new ideas for all of us!

Fridays: Needlework and Crafts Another of my favorite topics! I'll talk about projects I'm working on and dreaming about, resources, and techniques. I'll also share some of my patterns accasionally. And if the camera co-operates, I'll post photos. Ooooh, ahhhhh! I may also post some of my daughters' projects.

Saturday: Outdoors and Fun Stuff Our Saturdays are normally spent outdoors, whether at a ballgame, camping trip, or in the garden. In the winter, you may find us sledding or snowshoeing. The children often find little critters - and are darned good at chatchin' 'em, too! Saturdays are also good days to report on other outings we take during the week, because you've nothing better to do than spend the afternoon looking at our vacation photos!

Sunday: Worship I'm going to try to post my thoughts on the day's readings, discuss ways we can bring the sacred into our everyday lives and celebrate feasts for the upcoming week.

Please pass the word - the more the merrier here every day!

Blessings,

Nissa
