Food Storage Enchiladas (And Some Thoughts on Kids and Chores)

Hailey

One of the easy meals I plunked on our cooking challenge checklist was enchiladas. Husband likes red sauce and ground beef, but since I'm trying to teach kids to cook without too much dealing with stoves or raw meat, I went ahead and taught them a recipe for white sauce chicken ones instead! Obviously, it's not a very authentic Mexican dish, but these are the enchiladas I grew up on and I still love them. My family tends to call them "Food Storage Enchiladas" because almost every ingredient is canned and you can stock up on it for your 3 months (or year) of food storage!

The Learning to Cook Challenge

Hailey

Red was staring at the blender base I'd left on the counter the other day. "I want to make something," he told me. "What did you have in mind?" I asked. Partially, I was being a super-awesome-parent and letting him have a say, not putting ideas in his brain, etc, but the other partially was… Continue reading The Learning to Cook Challenge

When At Home Preschool Doesn’t Go Like You Planned

Hailey

Remember how I said I had a million excuses for why my goals have gotten off track? Between pregnancy and some family moving in with us for the next few months, not only have my goals gotten off track, but my entire daily schedule was shot for a while there. Pregnancy means medication and barely… Continue reading When At Home Preschool Doesn’t Go Like You Planned

Week 5: At Home PreK Curriculum Worksheets

Hailey

I have been such a slacker recently. Between sick me, sick babies, people visiting, etc, I have been WAY behind. But never fear! WORKSHEETS ARE HERE! That definitely needed all caps. I'm pretty happy with myself, if I do say so myself. Remember my at home PreK curriculum for the year? Well, usually I print… Continue reading Week 5: At Home PreK Curriculum Worksheets

“Happy New Year!” Learning Day

Hailey
