Monday, Monday...

Image
Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t...

31 Days of Home Organization -Organized vs. Clean

organized Arranged in a systematic way, esp. on a large scale. Having one's affairs in order so as to deal with them efficiently. clean Free from dirt, marks, or stains.

If you have missed any of my 31 Days series you can find ...

Lunch Box Granola...

Image
LM's teacher gave her class an extra credit assignment for math last week.  It was a cooking assignment which helps the kids with fractions.  They had two recipe choices and she picked the lunch box granola.   I have been wanting to make granola for a while so I was happy she chose this one.   She made a list of everything I would need to buy and I headed to the store while she was at school on Friday.   $16 later , I had the missing ingredients.  I was a bit shocked that some of these items cost so much.  I felt like we just bought a grade! All the ingredients ready to go. Recipe Fresh out of the oven. The finished product. LM did everything herself except put the cookie sheet in the oven and take it out. She emailed a picture of it to the teacher and turned in a paragraph about it on Monday.  It turned out delicious and I know I'll be making it again, using up the ingredients I bought.  I don't think I'll ever buy granola again ...
