Breakfast is over so it's time to clean the kitchen. This has been a fun week, and I hope you have discovered some new menus for your breakfasts. I didn't talk about meats - bacon, sausage, etc. - or drinks. Everyone has their own preferences for these. For that matter, I didn't really get into …

Fish Chowder

We just need some time to ourselves. Thanks to my oldest daughter, I recently discovered a great way to spend five minutes …
Library Time 25
I know I have not been posting this week. I have been hit by a head cold that just won't quit. I finally went to my naturopath. She gave me lots of good advice for things I can do to help my body strengthen my immune system. We both think that perhaps nursing a toddler …
