Good day and blissful FRIDAY! I had a second yesterday the place I full on believed it was Friday. Maybe it was the rain, the complete week, and the selfmade pizza with a glass of wine (Rodney Robust which I actually loved). So the truth that it wasn’t and at present is really Friday seems like a candy little shock.
Plans for at present embrace Hailey’s Synthesis class (each Friday morning), going stay on Amazon (should you observe me on there, it is going to provide you with a warning when the livestream begins) to speak about my germ season favorites, and attempting to get Finley outdoors in any rain break we get. Oh and this night? We’re placing up the Christmas tree!

Smoothies
How unseasonal, proper? I used to be impressed to get extra vitamins into our mornings, so I attempted the smoothie combo from Max Lugavere’s cookbook that I borrowed from the library. I extremely advocate getting cookbooks from the library; it’s a good way to strive before you purchase.
The smoothie combo contains frozen blueberries, a mandarin orange, avocado, Greek yogurt, floor flax seed, vanilla protein powder, and cashew milk. I’d add a handful of spinach if I’d have had some, however I appreciated the wealthy purple coloration of creating it with out. Scrumptious! We’ve had one each morning this week with some eggs on the facet.
Christmas Bathe Curtain
On the lookout for massive bang for my ornamental buck, I grabbed a festive bathe curtain and bathtub mat from Homegoods and set it up within the children’ toilet whereas they have been at observe. After they went as much as bathe later I heard the shriek of enjoyment I hoped for! I’m actually feeling the Christmas spirit this yr. Once more perhaps it’s my current feeling like years are flying by, nevertheless it makes me wish to do all of the little issues to make this one really feel further particular.
Undoubtedly try Homegoods should you’re close to one; they ran $15-20 for the curtain. And should you’re not, Amazon has a ton to select from in the identical value vary. I notably appreciated this one, this one, and this one for youths.
Lunch Bowls with Grains and Greens
I believe I discovered my lunch for the autumn/winter season. I like soups, too, however this combo is fast to throw collectively, hearty, and has limitless prospects. I made a batch of farro on Monday and acquired a giant jar of collard greens. Every day I toss a few of every right into a bowl and high it with rotisserie rooster and a drizzle of a spicy vinegar sauce. It’s wonderful! I’ll simply change up the combo every week. I have already got some freekeh within the pantry, and would possibly simply seize a giant tub of spinach for subsequent week’s combo.
Air Popper

We watched Miracle final evening as a result of David figured it could get us all pumped up about cheering on the US within the upcoming World Cup (hockey/soccer, sure, however the nationwide satisfaction facet). Now although, we’re shifting full into Christmas film mode and will likely be having fun with numerous contemporary popcorn. This air popper is the bomb! It makes use of NO oil, simply scorching air. It pops massive, fluffy kernels in lower than two minutes. It melts butter whereas it pops if you would like it to. It’s straightforward sufficient for the youngsters to make use of on their very own. It could make a fantastic present at a fantastic value level, too. I can’t consider I waited so lengthy to hearken to my pal who advised me I wanted one.
Homeschool Gradual Down
We simply completed our Collect Spherical Farming and Meals unit, which was a extremely enjoyable unit for us. Subsequent week we’ll change again to what I’m calling our different core curriculum (IEW, All About Spelling, and many others) for 2 weeks. Then? Then it’s Christmas season!
I’ve the 12 lesson lengthy Collect Spherical Christmas unit for us to finish in December, which I believe the youngsters will get pleasure from. And we do persist with math day by day, however this decelerate leaves us with the time to learn, bake, ship goodies, make and wrap presents, and watch films. It’s one among my favourite instances of our homeschool yr and I’m actually wanting ahead to it.

In solely every week I’ve offered candle holders, outdated canine crates, child garments and extra by itemizing and having individuals come choose it up off my entrance porch. I forgot how straightforward it’s. It’s additionally a fantastic reminder that if there’s one thing you’re after for Christmas, to at all times test there first.
