little grapes: February 2012
http://littlegrapes.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. As I mentioned in my last post. We finished up our two-week unit study on All Things French by painting some Van Gogh-inspired sunflowers. I have a larger purpose for the white signs I painted them on - I want to add a little personality and beauty to our homestead here. Sunflowers seemed the perfect choice. Then you self-censor every piece and that chance for free creative license and learning in the middle of the moment disappears. Keep it on the paper. Time since Sassy an...

Thinking Outside the Recipe! One mom, one kid. cooking, creating, and having fun together. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. For the love of football, hearts, and chocolate! Oh, it has been rather busy around these parts. So Zeal decided we were going to have a Super Bowl party! We talked about where the game was happening, who was playing, learned about some of the players. After all that, he decided we were going to have a 49er party anyway, the good, loyal fan that he has become. And since the cake recipe wa...

Thinking Outside the Recipe! One mom, one kid. cooking, creating, and having fun together. Friday, March 27, 2009. Dessert for breakfast - strawberry napoleons! I woke up one morning last week to a sign hanging in the entry to the kitchen that read:. Can you help me make strawberry napoleons when I wake up? It was so sweet; I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it before it got repurposed. Well, as you might know, strawberry napoleons are a rather sweet dessert, NOT a breakfast item. Anyway, here's h...

Recently, Zeal and I started reading the youth versions of adult bestsellers together. We started with the youth version of Three Cups of Tea. Here's the synopsis from the publisher:. Funny how ...

Thinking Outside the Recipe! One mom, one kid. cooking, creating, and having fun together. Sunday, February 14, 2010. For the love of peas! Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Here's a reminder that today is the day to plant your peas, a great little veggie for kids to plant, raise, and harvest all by themselves. Plant them in rows, scattered clumps (in a tomato cage), or as a tipi for a bit of summer shade and a nice little get away when the weather gets hot. Do you need a little more guidance? Here you wil...
