Weigh In Wednesday: Weeks 2 &3 on Weight Watchers

-
Image
Today marks my official 3rd week of WW.  I'd love to say I am just an enthused as when I first began but I'll be honest and say this last week was a real struggle.  I am almost always getting Blue Dot Days (staying in the recommended point zone each day), I am exercising just about every day for at least 30 minutes and yet all weight loss has stopped... in fact I've even gained a bit!  But I know that if I keep at it I will see results and I am determined to see this through.


After wearing my fitness tracker for one full week I added up all my steps and divided by 7 to see the average daily steps I take (6,872).  I knew that 10,00 a day was not a reasonable goal from there so I set a goal for adding just 500 steps to each day and set a goal of 7,372 per day.  Once I am consistently reaching that I'll try and add another 500 and so on until I reach 10,000 day. I might not reach my goal everyday but I'd like to try! Part of that might be that my fitness tracker does…

Friday Favorites-- The Week We Dyed Eggs

-

Nothing like waiting until the last minute!  My boys finally agreed to dye Easter eggs this week and we had lots of messy fun with that.  We got out hiking a few times and spent lots of time finishing up schoolwork this week; all three boys only have 2 subjects left!



My husband and I had a wonderful date night on Friday; we got the kids some take out pizza and then we headed to the Whistle Stop and had a delicious dinner.

My husband took Evan and Ian to the movies on Saturday to see Captain Marveland Alec and I had an afternoon to ourselves.  It's rare that I get any one on one time with my boys!  We played a game together.



Alec pulled out his dough and made a few more characters; sadly one was decapitated during the baking process.  He still has this adorable Pokémon though; Litwick is his name.



The younger boys, myself, and my husband went out on a letterboxing hike Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately,  we only found one letterbox but I was thankful that even though the bugs wer…

Unschooling Ideas for all subjects

-
Image
The boys all piled into my bed for some snuggling and cuddling.  We talked and just enjoyed hanging out with one another for quite a bit.  Once they all started tickling one another, feet were flying and wrestling ensued I decided to sneak out and spend some time on the computer coming up with a plan of activities.



It seems our weeks go best when I have activity ideas already in my mind when the week begins. 

 If we don't get around to them it's not a big deal, but it seems to work best if I have suggestions for some fun learning games and projects.

Typically I only plan enough activities to last us until lunch and then they're on their own for actual unschooling.

I don't force anyone to participate in any lesson or activity;  I suggest things to do that I hope they'll be interested in.

Lately, I've made the mistake of not having ideas at the ready and it seems like we're all floundering for things to do.  I started out trying to make a list of 5 activitie…

Encouraging Hearts and Home-- Almost Easter

-
Image
It's been a whirlwind of a week and I just realized today that Easter is this weekend!  Luckily we don't do much so I just had to throw together the boys' baskets (that I had thankfully already bought the supplies for) and we spent part of our day dyeing eggs.  I could tell by the lack of enthusiasm that this is the last year we'll be carrying out that tradition.  It's always so sad when I realize there is yet one more thing my boys have outgrown.  I'm so thankful for all the years' worth of memories we've stored up together.   How do you celebrate Easter?

Twice Baked Potatoes: An Updated Recipe!

-
Image
I was getting so sick of baked potatoes, rice, couscous, and pasta and I knew I needed to try out a new recipe or two.

I had made some twice baked potatoes a few years ago and the boys had been unwilling to give them a try back then but I figured they were older and they were getting more adventurous so I decided to give them another try.

They were a hit!  I had one boy would not try them since they have cheese and he doesn't like cheese but the other two boys happily gobbled up their potatoes and asked me to make them again real soon.



I will too since they were so easy to make!

Ingredients:

4 baking potatoes
5 slices bacon, cooked, cooled and crumbled
3 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup sour cream
2  Tbsp. dried chives
1/4 cup shredded cheese; I cheddar jack but just about any kind of cheese would work.

I baked my potatoes in a 350 degree oven for an hour until they were nice and soft on the inside and the skins has just a bit of crunch to them.  I took them out of the oven and l…
