I read this great piece over at Simple Homeschool where another Jessica talks about how she plans her meals around homeschooling.
It was inspirational and helpful, so I wanted to share. If you are homeschooling or not, working from home or an office, parenting toddlers or teenagers, honeymooning or empty-nesting, there will be good ideas for you.
Here is our breakfast tray inspired by the post:
We read about the expedition of Lewis and Clark while the food disappeared. All that remained were a few sagging grapes, which I just tossed over the bushes to the chickens since we were reading outside in the glorious taste of spring we’ve had.

mmmmmmm…. that looks like a perfect breakfast! The weather is glorious here, too! The dogs want to go outside to lie on the deck in the sunshine.
I still wish i could have chickens here…
Now I’m just sad that more of our original 8 didn’t survive, Samm. I think it’s hard to incorporate chickens that aren’t full grown with ones that are…We are getting two eggs a day and it’s marvelous. How many dogs do you have?
We have three dogs, and two cats here. You’d think that would be enough?
The two non-shedding littles are Angus the shih-tzu, a rescue, and Ruby, a bichon-shihtzu cross that we got when she was a baby. Tim is our other rescue, an Aussie-hound cross, who reminds us daily of our past dogs, an aussie and a coonhound. There were quite a few other dogs in our lives, as we usually have three or mors at a time.
Gotta love our animals. They love us!
Samm, I agree. Our Lola is truly part of our family. Look for a post next week about our newest critters…
