Blogging, and thinking....thinking and blogging!

For some time  now I've wanted to put together a blog planner.
I LOVE the idea, simply because I LOVE to organize!
I also love this idea, because so often my great thoughts leave me!
 
Seriously.....
completely LEAVE ME!!
 
I have many a great thought, however when those great thoughts are not written down, or put in to action, then the next one starts bumping them out and then before long, my great thought is,
 GONE.
 
Sometimes these great thoughts come through a conversation with a friend, or family member. Sometimes they come through a question posted on an email list I read, or maybe it's one I post. Sometimes they come from my own mind.
 I am one of those quiet souls, whose mind is always running 100 miles an hour. Having conversations with myself, and honestly that's part of why I started blogging, just to be heard! I am also one of those people who loves to write, hates to speak!
 
So to help me tame, the
 

BLOG MONSTER

 
going on in this Mommy Brain. I decided to print out a blog planner. I'm also organizing a home makers planner, and combining the two. As I started looking through all the beautiful and well thought out blog planners all over the Internet. I found out that my ideas for a blog planner, are
 NOT what most blog planners are.
 
I needed something simple, not a day to day planner, just a place to jot down my ideas, make monthly notes, nothing too complicated.
 
After searching I finally found the perfect one for me. It's from Confessions of a Homeschooler, her monthly planner. I simply printed out the monthly extra information and monthly calendars. In a nice 2 sided open spread. (one on each side of the binder when laid open) I also printed a few of the brainstorming and notes pages. 3 hole punched them and VOILA, a simplified blog planner!!!
 
BTW... if your looking for a nice simple homeschool planner, I love the ones she made.
I purchased the Colorful Lesson Planner,
and have been using it to do my mid year planning.
I love the lay out and design.
Oh and they match, so cute!!!

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
