I love listening to the girls waiting for their dance classes while my daughter is in her dance classes. I recently told the story of several publicly and privately schooled girls who were talking about their homework with each other. One girl told of how her class was given homework every night (she’s either 9 [...]
Thanks to those of you who have been concerned about the lack of new posts over the past few days. I can assure everyone that I’m fine and everyone in my family is fine. We’ve been busy. We’ve also been working on some behind the scenes portions of this site. You’ll be seeing a newly [...]
I first heard of Steve Pavlina about five years ago. While I’d been a vegan for a few months (and vegetarian for quite a while before that), my children were just starting to explore this lifestyle (they have been vegetarian their whole lives and vegan for the past several years). So, I was reading on [...]
I love butternut squash. It tastes even better with pasta and vegan cheddar and pecans. Yum! I posted a delicious Butternut Squash Recipe last year (click to see). I recently updated my recipe to be slightly different (both are quite delicious). Either would be a wonderful addition to any of your upcoming holiday meals or [...]
When a vegan gets a craving that involves non-vegan food, what should she do? Well… The other day, my daughters and I were talking about grandparents and one thing led to another and I was recalling a time when my mom and my mom’s dad (my Grandpa) and I went out to eat at Maid-Rite [...]
My favorite desserts are chocolate turtles and pecan pie. While I’ve yet to eat a vegan pecan pie that truly satisfies me, I’ve had several different turtle recipes (from restaurants) that I’ve adored even more than the original non-vegan version that I first fell for. So, my daughters and I set out to make our [...]
I’ve been to a lot of places recently where I’ve had to turn around and walk out. The cause? Smells. Obtrusive smells. Smells that linger in the air long after the cause is gone. I shudder just thinking about it. It’s one thing for a bath store to smell flowery or for a coffee place [...]
A big part of my children’s lives are movies. We’ve met many homeschooling families who either don’t allow movies at all into their children’s lives, restrict movies to only “educational ones”, allow only one movie per week (or other predetermined timeframe), or at a minimum restrict the content of the movies the children watch (either [...]
I’ve been hanging out with a lot of homeschoolers and unschoolers lately (as usual). I’ve also been hanging out with a bunch of schooled kids (not as usual). I happen to like all of these kids. They are all brilliant and smart and interesting individuals, but I’ve also noticed some distinct differences between the ones [...]
After a recent Disneyland trip, my family and I checked out the Discovery Science Center (nicknamed “The Cube”) just a few miles away. We immediately knew we’d found it when we spotted a large upended three dimensional black cube on the road. The cube is mostly decorative, but also has solar panels and fiber optics [...]
