Spinach Time!

We harvested our first crop of spinach this week.

My wonderful husband (with the direction from my dad) turned my flower beds into garden boxes.  So all along my driveway we have the most beautiful food growing.  We have harvested a few radishes, but this spinach is our first major harvest.  I know it doesn't look like a lot, but remember we garden in our flower beds.  We grow to eat, not to preserve.

So this week - we will have spinach on our pizza, fresh salads with dinner, and awesome "lettuce" on our taco's.

We are changing it up a bit :)

Ok, so I realized that my life is so much more than just homeschooling.

We are homeschooling, gardening, penny pinching, make it from scratch kinda people.  And I want to be able to talk about all of that :)  So, we are expanding - with this new blog I can talk about it all - Yeah!

Little House in Tomball will be a blog of my adventures as I pioneer a lifestyle that is perfect for the Medlin's.  You can choose to read for ideas, support, or just pure entertainment.  Yes there are crazy people  out there who actually do this stuff :)

I love to hear your comments.
And I am excited about the changes.

Here we go. . .

Two Weeks

Well, the boys have been gone for almost two weeks. Two short weeks! Two long weeks! Just depends on when you catch me. . . lol. I had so many plans, so much I was gonna accomplish. You guessed it, it didn't happen - not one thing. Well, not one thing on my list anyway - what I did do was spend two weeks with the princess. This was her time. We did things just for her. We watched enough Little Men to make my head spin :) We built an antique dollhouse. We shopped and we shopped. We even went to the mall. . . agh! But you know what, it was great, precious time. Time to learn a little more about what makes her tick. So my list is still here on my desk, not one thing check off - and that is OK!

On those rare opportunities that you have to spend one on one time with your kids, what do you do? How do you capture the moments?

I am excited to hear . . .
