Muffin Tin Monday

Okay so I didn't get this posted on Monday. Woops! I wanted to share anyways. It was a really easy one for me. We had gone out for Mexican food the night before and the kids had lots of leftovers. :D I really need to do this more than just once a week. The kids love it!

They each had a mini tostado, mini taco and mini burrito on top. (these were the leftovers)

On the bottom I added corn chips, pinto beans and cantalope. (I know the melon isn't Mexican-or is it? hehe- but we needed a fruit and it's what I had.)

He doesn't eat much so anything that helps I love. Isn't he cute!?

Working Mommy Wednesday- Career Change

I decided to join in Julia's Working Mommy Wednesday over on Work, Wife, Mom... Life!

This weeks question is what career would you want if you were planning a change.

I don't know how many people know this but I am currently getting my business started again. I had it for several years and closed up when I was getting ready to have Kaden. Here is my website if you are interested but basically I make custom decorated cakes. I love it and hope to be busy again really soon.

Before I found my calling ;) I went to school and worked as a nail tech. I liked it ok, it satisfied some of my need for something artistic. I thought when I was younger I wanted to be a teacher. I still like teaching and since I homeschool my kids I guess I am a teacher.

So that said I don't think I would want to change my career or life as far as working goes but if I did I think it would be something crafty... Maybe something to do with scrapbooking or crafting. If i worked outside the home, (not having my own business) I think I would be teaching.

Stuffed Muffins!

I wanted to share my good friend Shannon's blog. I have shared it before but if you haven't checked it out please do! She has awesome ideas for kids lunches and great recipes. She has a giveaway going on right now too here, although you aren't going to win because I am, sorry. ;)

Today Meghan and I made her stuffed muffin recipe. They are so good! You can add whatever you want to them. I love that they are a muffin too, easy to take along anywhere. You can find the recipe here.

We stuffed them with ham and cheese this time. I used fresh ground flour and Rapadura sugar... and of course if you haven't heard before we use raw milk. Tasty! Try them and let me know what you think and check out Shannon's blog too and find some more fun recipes and lunch ideas!

Homeschool Blog Hop #8

It has been a while since there was a hop but here it is!! There is no theme this time so just enjoy your time finding new homeschool blogs!

I thought I would ask how everyone homeschools; is it year round (like us) or with a regular school year or something completely different? I love to hear how others do things!

We homeschool year round because I like the freedom of it. I like to take vacations and breaks during the normal school year so it's not so crowded. I like that the kids don't have a huge break and get out of the habit of "doing schoolwork". If something happens we don't have to worry about taking a day or a week off. It has worked out well for us!

STOP: Please DO NOT add your link below unless you have a post published about the blog hop and the current theme, and the McLinky code showing in that post.


Please ensure you have linked directly to your blog hop post and that the title includes the words 'blog hop' somewhere. All links added are checked via McLinky and those without these details are removed immediately (we do not always have time to visit the blog to check).

We are all enjoying this immensely, please play fairly as the majority of blog hoppers do! Thanks for participating, have fun

Unschooling Illegal???

There was a recent story on ABC about unschoolers. It featured one family and was shown in a very negative light. It seems a lot of people think these parents are harming their children. Now I don't unschool my children; but I do believe in a parents rights to choose how their child is schooled and raised. I am not going to write up a huge post on this as I found a great post online that I think sums up the major points. Please check it out. There is also a link to the original video here on Spunky Homeschool.

A Bouncy Party

Here are pictures from the kids party at Bounce U. They had a great time! Kaden wanted to go play some more. :) Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us!!
