On today's agenda ~ working in my planner, getting ready for next week.
So far I'm quite happy with my new planner. I'm still tweaking things, but the weekly section seems to work well with how I like to plan. The index cards though ... well, I'm not loving them so much. They're so great in theory! And they're very pretty in all their rainbow colors ... but for now I've reverted back to using my little spiral bound planner for my daily to-do's. Too much was slipping through the cracks!
So, I've had a few questions left in the comments recently and I thought I'd address them this morning ...
Jennifer asked for some links to posts on my routines and journals: (I can't find a post on my daily routine, so I'll see about writing something up on that soon - maybe a "day in the life" kind of thing?)
(This was written a few years ago, but I still pretty much follow this same schedule.)
My Journal: A Happy, Humble Hodgepodge
Tracy asked for the quick bread recipe, and it can be found in this post: A Little Taste of Fall. Lori asked how I use baby food in that recipe. I simply use 2 cups worth of baby food (bananas, pears, squash etc.) for the "mix-and-match" portion of the recipe. It makes a very moist bread!
And finally, Kristie asked for online instructions for making butter. This would be a great activity for a farm unit study!

Well, that's all for now ... I hope you all have a nice Thursday! It's the Chinese New Year today, by the way, and 2011 is the "Year of the Rabbit." We looked up our zodiac animals here and Crackerjack was pleased to learn he was in fact a rabbit! (I'm a rooster, lol.) We're going to watch "Kung Fu Panda" today and possibly order Chinese for supper tonight. (It's a busy evening so I'm not sure we'll have time.)
What do you like to order when you get Chinese take-out? I myself love scallion pancakes. I order them every time. :)
Have a great day, everyone ... see you all again sometime soon!
