Economics Training on the Go!

Since homeschooling is a way of life, vacation is part of it! Recently, we went to Rifle, Colorado when it was blazing hot. We all wanted ice ream but we had less cash this trip.

Our Favorite Coleslaw

This is our family's favorite coleslaw recipe.  We double it for our large family. If you don't like the sweetener used, simply switch it out for one you prefer :)

Amazing Strawberry Shortcake

Gardening Update

We are, of course, back from camping.  Everything survived except the Oregano.  Some things, like the tomatillo, seemed to thrive on the low watering while we were gone.   The basil nearly died but thankfully we returned before the leaves got to the crunchy stage.  They were just terribly wilted but perked up after plenty of water.  

Seeds to Harvest Garden Update

Today, we are packing up for our camping trip to the Oregon Coast.  This year, we'll be gone for nine days, so I figured I'd better post an update.  By the time we get back, all our plants could be dead!

Garden Challenge Update

As you know, I joined Olivia's Garden Challenge and it has been great to see what other's are doing and be able to get feedback from them as well.  Be sure to head on over there and see all the bounty!  Praying for poor Olivia would be a good idea as well since she got poison ivy on her eye! UGH!

Now that we are getting some hotter days things are really starting to grow around here.  We had a couple days of lots of rain (amazing how fast something grows in just one day after a rain) and then a lot of sun.
