I have a lot of big goals for 2015, but January was a little much. H’s been waking up at all hours, and we’ve had snow days, pinkeye, and my own stomach bug just this week keeping us so cooped up ever since the holidays. And really tired. There have been a lot of leggings and ponytails this month, which usually means mama’s too tired for laundry and hairdos. I missed a lot of outfit photos, and I’m fairly sure I was wearing yoga pants on all of the missed days.

I’m reading The Strange Case of Origami Yoda with the 5th graders, and before the holiday break we learned how to make origami Yodas. I asked the students to write a New Year message in Yoda speak on their puppets so I could hang them up for January.
See that page over on the left sidebar that says “Crafty Tutorials?” It has been sitting sadly with only two tutorials since I relaunched this blog last summer. I’m currently remedying that. Now it’s up to a whopping 5 tutorials!
This was from a Food Network Magazine sometime last year. It was good but a little same-y. I’d completely forgotten I’d made it until I went back through my recipe photos from last year to see what I’d missed. And I only made it in December.
I feel like I’ve made a lot of variations on bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts with mustard and/or potatoes. It’s perfectly good, but I’m starting to get a little bored. This recipe was originally for chicken thighs, which Adam doesn’t like, so maybe that would have spiced it up. Read more on Mustard Chicken Breasts with Rosemary Potatoes…
I haven’t posted about school in forever. Well, it’s winter, so…we’re reading winter books in pre-k and kindergarten! It snowed this weekend, which makes this even more appropriate to post about. We are well into our novels in grades 1-6, we’ve been reading them since November. And I did a lot of various holiday stories with the little ones in the fall. Now it’s January, so we’re enjoying some snowy stories.
