The HOME Writer: Sausage & Spaghetti Spirals
http://thehomewriter.blogspot.com/2013/01/sausage-spaghetti-spirals.html
Helping. Organizing. Mentoring. Encouraging. Thursday, January 3, 2013. Sausage and Spaghetti Spirals. Years ago, there was a jarred sauce called "Pasta Bakes." All you needed to do was mix it with cooked pasta, place it in a 13x9 pan, top it with cheese and bake it. It tasted great, but later in the evening someone was sure to be uncomfortable. I had to stop buying it. :-(. So, I created my own recipe! 1 lb Italian sausage. 1/4 cup diced green pepper. 1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce. Protected: One Key Fa...

The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa: Switching to My Father's World Curriculum
http://thegreavesfamily.blogspot.com/2012/05/switching-to-my-fathers-world.html
The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa. Switching to My Father's World Curriculum. Learning about our precious rhinos- Folded Paper Rhinos. Our homeschool journey has been a very bumpy one. First, we were unsure how to go about homeschooling in South Africa. We started off rather blindly, with no support or information about homeschooling. We want a curriculum that is Bible based, one that doesn't just tag on Bible. We all love books, and reading plays a huge part in our learning. We like to d...

The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa. Partial Eclispe of the Sun. Today we experienced a partial eclipse of the sun, in South Africa. It proved a great Science lesson, presented by Dad, who was extremely clever at the various ways he showed the children the eclipse. We also had some special viewing glasses that were safe to use. Then Daddy took the telescope and reflected the sun onto paper first and then onto each persons hand. See below. Then we reflected it onto a large poster...To explai...

The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa. Time to change my ticker! After months of not blogging, I have to make a quick entry here tonight. About a month ago, Shelley, our youngest, was finally weaned, after feeding for 2 years and 5 months. Yippee! So, for the first time in seven years, I am not pregnant, breastfeeding or both ;-). I thought I would be rather sad about this, but it was a very happy ending for us both, the time was ripe, and I feel I need a bit of " re-charging. Alpha Omega Hom...

The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa: The Eco-brick
http://thegreavesfamily.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-eco-brick.html
The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa. We recently visited a friend and found her kitchen counters "littered" with 2 L soft drink bottles, filled with colourful bits of plastic. Curious, we just had to ask. Joel and Emma gladly joined in, and Joel has been responsible for ramming the plastic in. He does it very effectively with a wooden dowel. They both made signs at our dustbin so that we would remember not to throw away the plastic. So, would you like to join the ecobrick challenge? I've re...

The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa: February 2009
http://thegreavesfamily.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
The Greaves Family, homeschooling in South Africa. Last night our family did our first real camping trip- to a nearby national game reserve, called Addo elephant park. We took along two tents, some food, eating utensils and I think for a first camping trip it was all very civilised indeed. The loo was a long walk away for (me) and a child who only wants to use the loo now (Miss S), but very clean and so that was fine. I was amazed to see the tiniest elephant calf I have ever seen. It was still very h...
