June 15 - 19 COVID - 19 School Closure

-
Last week we had a lot of fun learning about some of the different Big wild Cats that there are. This week my son would like to learn about other African animals so we are heading off on an at home Safari for the week. Next week is the last week of school/home school so I will be planning some fun activities for us to do as well. I have a tie dye kit coming for one of our activities!
                                    

This week felt busy! I'm thinking it must have been because of the rainy weather and trying to fit outside time in when it was warmer or the rain stopped as well as balancing and juggling home school/ work school. But we are down to the last two weeks of school and I know it is important to have fun with my at home teaching as well as my home school teaching. 

Garden update: Our garden seems to have survived the frost and other cold days/nights we recently had. I'm hoping we have seen the end of the cold nights as I am getting tired of tucking my plants in for the night lol. 

                       

                       

                                                

My oldest son learned to ride his bike on two wheels last weekend and has really improved throughout the week. I am so proud of his determination and perseverance to tackle that task. 

                                                   

My youngest is just a little chatterbox and I love watching him explore his new found language skills. 

                                                      

Now that some COVID - 19 restrictions have been lifted in our area we were able to go out to my parents house and spend the weekend. It was so fun to be able to get together and celebrate my dads birthday weekend with them. 

                

Next weekend is also Father's day so I will be planning some fun Father's day activities for the boys to try but unfortunately I will not post them as there needs to be a little surprise for my Husband seeing as we already gave him his father's day gift.

Black bean Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Sorry for the lack of posting but with the end of the school year near and a kindergartener learning online at home we have been a little busy over here!  This was not a typical mean for us as it was meatless but we’ve been trying to mix up our meal plans with a meatless meal once a week. This was a delicious sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. Lots of flavours and so filling!  We have been trying to incorporate one meatless meal a week which has been fun and challenging. It has really forced me to think out of the box with different meal ideas and this one was just too good not to share. It is kid friendly which is very important in our house.  I also really liked this meal as I was able to bake the sweet potato a head of time and then have everything ready for when it was time to make dinner. It was really easy and a lot of fun to make them together.  Ingredients: 1 sweet potato 1 tbsp busters BBQ rub  I can black beans or kidney beans drained and rinsed  Shredded cheese  Diced r

Banana Cinnamon Muffins

These muffins have been a hit in our house for a couple of years now. My one son (who we call the muffin man) asks for them all the time. I love this recipe too because it is so versatile. I have made them plain, added a cinnamon sugar topping, added chocolate chips and even raspberries or blueberries. My favourite is adding a blueberry raspberry mixture. My children obviously love the chocolate chips or cinnamon sugar topping.  I honestly love how easy and versatile this recipe is. It seems to taste delicious no matter what I add to it. I also love that it can be made in one bowl and I have less dishes to do in the end. BUT my absolute favourite part about this recipe is how easy it is to make with my boys. They both love to help out in the kitchen and this is a simple enough recipe for them to help out with.  INGREDIENTS: - 2/3 cup sugar - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil - 2 large eggs - 2 bananas mashed - 1 tsp vanilla - 1 2/3 cups flour - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1/2 ts

Fresh Tomato Marinara/Pizza Sauce

-

 We LOVE pizza in this house and any way to add extra flavour to make it better I am all over that. We had an abundance of tomatoes come off our tomato plants this year and were needing to come up with more ways as to how to use them. I was able to make soup and pasta sauce and then thought that this pizza sauce would be another great option as we eat pizza pretty regularly. I also froze a lot of tomatoes as it was hard to keep up with them all turning red at the same time. Frozen tomatoes work well with this sauce as well as they are getting cooked down anyway.  This sauce is a runnier sauce as I'm not a fan of a super thick pizza sauce and love how it adds just a touch of flavour to the pizza. If you are wanting it to thicken more, add some tomato paste to help it thicken.  Ingredients: 16 cups chopped tomatoes (Garden fresh add a lot more flavour) 1 onion 1-2 full heads of Garlic (I LOVE garlic so I tend to add more) 2 TBSP Olive Oil  2 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TBSP Basil  2 TBS
