let's talk, DIRTY LAUNDRY.....

I can not believe we've never spoken of dirty laundry, around my blog! At least I didn't find any!! Thank goodness, no one wants to see my dirty laundry, that's for sure.

This is probably the second most asked question in my life. Number one?? You probably already guessed it,

Are they all yours???

Yeah you guessed right,

the next question usually stems from,

How do you get "IT" all done?

Usually I laugh, and say, somehow "it" all gets done, or at least most of "it".

One of the first "IT'S" is usually laundry.

So the other day when I was digging our couch out from under Mt. Washmore, I decided something has to change!!!!

and change it did....

I decided I can not wash, and sort all these clothes, it just isn't fair! So I dedicated one afternoon, each week for my A's to take care of their own laundry... ah sigh of relief.

Mondays= the boys day...Noble, Valiant and Boy do laundry

Tuesdays= Mama Bears day

Wednesdays= Virtue and Precious do their laundry

Thursdays= Charity and Peaceful's laundry day

Fridays= Whom ever needs an extra day to get it all done.

Mornings are Mama Bears time to take care of cloth diapers, sheets, baby boy clothes and sheets, towels or anything that needs to be cleaned asap, you know the likes, pee-ed on sheets, spit up shirts, thrown up on towels... you know the regular Mama Bear clean up jobs!

Then every day after lunch, starts the kids time to wash. They are in charge of sorting, loading, washing, drying, sorting and putting away. They also must wash any dirty towels, clothes or whatever is placed in front of the washer.

Oh the freedom, I am loving this new system. I am only in charge of Papa Bear, Baby Bear and Mama Bears clothes, cloth diapers and our sheets.

Every week the A's are suppose to wash their sheets and pillowcases, along with blankets if needed. You see one BIG problem I dealt with was washing clothes that were not dirty, for lack of folding and putting away. Well now if some little A decides to put clean clothes in the dirty clothes basket, they get to sort, wash, dry, sort and put it away... I don't even have to know. If a certain A really wants to add all that to their workload, well so be it!

Homemade bread for our large family

making bread has been a huge part of my life as a mother... here’s the problem, don’t start making homemade bread, unless you plan on doing it forever!!! Once you eat homemade bread, it’s didficult to eat store brought breads!!! Even some of the nicest, most expensive, they just seem so dry and bland.  That being said, I can make all our bread for our family of 11 (currently in the house) in about 15 minutes! (Not including the rise and bake time) I usually make it on the weekend, and then again around Wednesday or Thursday each week. Whenever I make it, I incorporate it into our dinner that night. Usually making 3 or 4  loaves of bread and 1 pan of rolls- for dinner. You see if you don’t do that, you’ll end up eating all of it the first night, right!!! No one can resist hot, fresh, homemade bread- especially with melted butter!!! 💖 So here’s the recipe, I know you’re all dying to have!  This should make about 5 loaves of bread, or a mix of bread and rolls  6 cu

I am JUMPING OFF THE SHIP!!! So to speak...

What does that mean!??! What ship are you jumping from? Where are you jumping to? How are you planning on jumping?? Well let me tell you.... I am jumping into the great deep, dark and "unknown" world, I am planning on jumping Titanic style, Spread Eagle that is!!! No seriously folks, I have decided that for our upcoming curriculum, we are going to jump into the area of {dare I even say it??} Traditional Christian TEXTBOOKS!!!! {I can hear you all moan, and groan and say OH NO!!!!} Yes TEXTBOOK, tends to be a "bad" word in the homeschool world. It's one of those 3-letter words, okay so it's actually an Eight-letter word. I am not sure why TEXTBOOKS have such a bad name to homeschoolers. Actually I do, it has to do with the dumbing down of America. It has to do with short tidbits of information crammed into a lesson, bits and pieces of history... never knowing the whole thing. HOWEVER, you must also admit, that there are NOW so many choices in TEXTBO
