Wow! I can't believe we are at the last week of school. This is always such an exciting time when in school for both staff and students. The excitement of summer is upon us and well... Report Cards are done and we can all have a little fun celebrating a great school year together. I really am going to miss this week with my kids as this is always a fun time to celebrate a successful school year. This is one reason why I will be planning some fun and special activities for us to do this week as I want my sons to be able to celebrate a successful in school and home school year!


We had a lot of fun learning about different African animals. This week we will play it a little more loosely and I will let my son choose what he wants to learn about each morning. He will love this as some mornings he is already trying to switch up what we are learning about lol. 

                        

My youngest son has really kept me on my toes this week. He is such a busy inquisitive boy! He loves to try to keep up to his big brother and stresses me out watching him try. I love seeing them play together and take care of each other when one is sad. 

                                                      

Our gardens are really looking good and I am so excited when we can enjoy fruit and vegetables off them all! Our Kale, Lettuce, basil, dill and chive are all ready to eat and we've definitely been enjoying that. We have many cucumbers growing and my mother in law was just here and helped show me how to prune my tomato plants. We have lots of raspberry and strawberry flowers and hopefully we will be able to enjoy those soon! Our jalapeno pepper plants also seem to be flowering a lot too now and my husband and I are excited to be able to enjoy some hot peppers this summer. 

This weekend we had my in laws for a Fathers weekend visit/ worked on our fireplace downstairs. The boys cut and glued the tile up on Friday night. They got to go out and fish Saturday with my oldest son and then we finished the tiling job today with some grout before they went home. It was a great weekend and I feel like we accomplished so much. 

                                               

Even though I will be letting my sons choose what they want to learn about I will still keep the same schedule of a TV episode of Wild Kratts, Book from (EPIC), and then he will read me 2 - 3 leveled books followed by some type of pencil work (drawing, writing, etc).

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
