A friend reminded me of some important things about school, and the lack of formal “teaching” at home.

It doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Kids will learn in the most unexpected places.

Molasses Brown Bread

Moist, sweet, and perfect with butter or baked beans — molasses brown bread is major comfort food for me!

This recipe takes advantage of your bread maker, but is intended to be baked in the oven — all of the yumminess of homemade bread with minimal effort.

The past few weeks have been a blur of preparation. Today is the first day of my husband working from home full-time and at least three weeks of our whole family sheltering in place.

I feel like I’ve been running on fumes and today is the day I crash.
