I used to make homemade bread pretty often. We all love it and would be happy to have it as our “daily bread”. It’s not hard to make but it is a little time consuming, especially since you have to be around for each step. Still, it’s so much healthier that I’m going to try…
French Friday ~ Anti-Intellectualism
There is much I admire about French culture but I am especially enamored with the way in which the French embrace the intellectual. As much as I love my country, I must admit that the current surge in anti-intellectualism baffles me. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn…

One of my friends on a Yahoo email group mentioned doing something she calls a “30 Day Blitz”. Basically, she and her kids are devoting one hour a day for 30 days to getting caught up on some household tasks. Several of us in the group thought this was a great idea and are planning…
Banned Books Week
The 2010 Banned Books Celebration will be held from September 25 through October . Here’s a cute little video produced for the 2009 Banned Books Week celebration: I don’t think I’ll ever quite understand book banning. I mean, if something offends you, don’t read it. And as far as kids are concerned, encouraging them to…
