Happy Monday!
We are back into school mode around here. It was nice to have a break, however, routine is a glorious thing. The children play nicer, have better attitudes, and don't get into as much mischief when our daily routine is implemented. Plus, I am more productive and efficient in my daily activities & responsibilities. Is your house the same way?
We are changing up some of our curriculum for the rest of the year. We will be using BJU Heritage instead of Veritas OT/Ancient History. I really like Veritas, and we will continue to read and memorize the cards, but I feel like my 6th grader needed more. Spelling and science are two additional area's we will be changing. I have decided to toss out all spelling programs as I have not been pleased with any we have tried or I have reviewed. I have taken words from various online sights of the most common misspelled words, as well as words from 6th grade spelling lists, and compiled a master list to use until the end of the year. I will share more on that in another post. If you have a spelling curriculum or method you love, PLEASE share it with me!
We are going to be doing several unite studies for science. I am excited about these and will expand on those later as well.
Now, on to our menu...

Our household thrives with structure, without it we sometimes get way out of hand.
I love that your menu has so many homemade things...looks and sounds so good!
I have wanted to try homeschooling, but I lack the dedication to stick with it everyday :(
Your menu sounds great! I'd love the Mexican Chicken!
Sounds like a great week!!

Thank you for sharing the link to your Kolache recipe. There are several stores that sell them here in town, but I've always want to make my own and now I'll have to try with your recipe.
