http://unprocessedmom.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 30, 2009. Yummy Thai Coleslaw (it's raw too). Everyone seems to like this. I've been asked for the recipe several times, so I figured I post it here. Either buy the Trader Joe's broccoli slaw or. 3 cups finely shredded green or Napa cabbage. 1 cup peeled and shredded zucchini. 1 cup shredded carrot. 1 bunch fresh chives, chopped. Herbs (can be fresh or dried):. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. 1/4 cup soy sauce (I use tamari). 1/4 cup olive oil. Most mess...

This all just unfolded in our household while the boys were in motion, half-watching SpongeBob on tv and bouncing on the couch and talking about other stuff…. Justin (a little over 5 years old): Hey Dad, two quarters equals one half. Dad: Yes it does! Justin: And, half of a half is a quarter! Dad: That’s right! Russell (almost 8 years old): But Dad, is half of a quarter an eighth? How to write them?

Ahhhhh… this is what Mother’s Day is all about. Crazy fun! Is it any wonder that these boys always blow the knees out of all their pants? I’m not much of a patcher, which is ok because they don’t mind wearing pants with gaping holes in the knees.). What we want ...

Mom: Unprocessed: A poem

http://unprocessedmom.blogspot.com/2010/07/poem.html

Tuesday, July 27, 2010. This poem is a beautiful reminder that children are paying attention to our example. They are great imitators. It is written by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan (wow) as a thank you to her mom. I got it from the book The New Good Life. When you thought I wasn't looking,. You hung my first paining on the refrigerator,. And I wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking. You fed a stray cat,. And I thought it was food to be kind to animals. You said a prayer,. Subscribe to...

Sunday, May 9, 2010. Today was mother's day. This second picture was taken right before we went to the Quail Botanical Gardens, which was after I was served a delicious play-dough meal and given a lovely finger-knit necklace (by Paxton). Charis made me a recycled art car, and Caleb got me a cute little coin purse from Not For Sale (they sell things made by people taken out of human trafficking situations- it's awesome. As I type I'm listening to the record they gave me, She and Him - Vol. One. Lots of pi...

Speaking of math… | Splashing In Puddles

https://splashinginpuddles.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/speaking-of-math

Laquo; Jumping in…. More math, and learning to ride a bike. Speaking of math…. January 17, 2009 by Lori. Some of the math skills I’ve seen my boys learn naturally can be seen in the following examples:. At age 5 1/2, Russell decided to count to 100… by NINETEENS! I was reading to him in bed one night and his mind wandered (although he retained the story even as he started to tell me something math related, so maybe it didn’t “wander” so much as move to “multitask” mode? 8221; Then he offered to share wit...
