- Getting organized for school. Thinking about do more interactive teaching with Julian, and less with Claire so that she'll learn more self-direction and problem solving. Also wanting to sit down 2 times a week with Audrey doing preschool things (not just giving her busy work to buy me time with the older kids, but actually working with her)
- Unpacking those last 3 boxes that are sitting in the garage from our move. Why is it that I always leave those last few?? Is it a psychological thing where I figure we're gonna move again so why bother unpacking them?
- Roasting coffee. Ok this is SO much fun! It's not a complicated process but I just love producing these dark, oily, good-smelling beans from little green pellets. They snap, crackle, and pop while they're roasting and double in volume which is kind of interesting to see.
- Trying to move toward healthier, more wholesome food for the family. Yes, you will still find a bag of Doritos and boxes of macaroni n cheese in the pantry. But a little at a time, I am buying more "whole" and less processed foods, looking at ingredients on a regular basis, and cooking from scratch.
- Starting a Cooking Club this year for a group of homeschool kids. Twice a month we will meet and either cook or do seatwork/games related to food, health, recipes, etc. I'm really excited to do this and teach the kids some navigational skills around the kitchen.
