Weekly Photo Collage :: 4/26/2013 – Short & Sweet!

by 3 Comments

My post today is going to be short and sweet.  It’s been a busy week, we’re celebrating a birthday today!, and a couple of the kids have spring colds.  But I do really like to document our weeks, so here goes:


Learning Time:

This week a majority of the week was spent on the basics, the math basics that is.  The big kids have been working hard with Math U See.  We have been doing lots of review.

Several times this week I used worksheets from Worksheetworks, both for math work and for printing work.  

Anna is doing great this week with her reading and is making her way through Run, Bug, Run.  I have then been taking some of the words in the reader and plugging them into the handwriting page on Worksheetworks.  It’s been great reinforcement.


Around the House:

Sharla from The Chaos and The Clutter raved about these waterproof notepads for the shower.  I ordered a couple and have already been filling up the pages!  I think it’s because it can be my only quiet of the day and I can actually complete a thought.  I have been jotting down notes for a talk I’m giving, and I got a cute note from one of the kids 🙂  That’s a winner in my book.  AquaNotes come with a pencil and a pencil holder.




Healthy Living:

Sunday night is normally pizza and a movie night at our house.  While my kids and my husband could probably eat pizza every day of the week, it’s not always my favorite.  Not to mention the fact that it packs on a lot of calories.  I have been seeing various versions of the Zucchini Pizzas floating around Pinterest and decided to give it a try.  It was so easy and yummy.

1.  Cut the zucchini in half and gently scrap out a bit of the seeds to form a hollow for the toppings.

2.  I brushed the zucchini with a small amount of olive oil, crushed garlic and salt

3.  Top with a little bit of pizza sauce and whatever toppings you enjoy.

4.  Pop in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes.  Cover and then take the cover off for the last 5 minutes or so.  Mine could have baked for a bit longer.  Next time I will let them go for more like 45 minutes.  It just depends on how soft you want the zucchini to be.  Easy!

Blog Happenings:

On Monday I shared some tips and ideas for Raising Boys to be Men – it was a fun post to prepare and share with you, not to mention an important topic.

I had a fabulous guest post on Wednesday about the need for Foster Care Parents in our country.  Please do read!


Have a great weekend!
