Motherhood- with an AD(h)D-itude
Gnocchi are becoming a staple in my house. When we make mashed potatoes I just cook the whole bag of potatoes because gnocchi are easy to make with leftovers and freeze well for later.

Composting is a great way to put old vegetation and newspaper to good use. The kids and I are planning a garden and I'd really like to give my plants a good boost of nutrient rich compost to grow on.

The hardest part of homeschooling? I have had to un-school myself!
Today concludes our third week of home school. It has been a tough week. While our kitchen is still in shambles, we cleaned it up a little bit and have use of the kitchen table now.
