FIFTY NIFTY UNITED STATES

December 9, 2014

I can't seem to get that song out of my head. Anyway... While Aiyana is doing her schoolwork I often poke around on Pinterest looking for fun education activities for her and I to do together. Yesterday my search was "United States." I've been trying to find creative ways of teaching her the U.S. States and their capitols. One thing I found was a simple worksheet where Aiyana is mostly coloring and drawing but when I clicked on the link it didn't go anywhere so I decided to recreate it myself.
The worksheet looked pretty much like this: (Click image to Download)

U.S. States Report by naturemama

And this is one finished report that Aiyana did.

This worksheet received a big thumbs up from my daughter. I told her we'll be doing one every day until we finish all 50 states and she said "ok" so I know she likes it. If not there would have been a frowny face and "aw mom, do we have to?" coming out of her mouth.
If anyone happens to know who is the original creator of this worksheet, please let me know so I can give credit for the idea.

RECIPE SHARE

December 3, 2014

Since going back to a lacto-vegetarian diet I am always on the look out for recipes that fit my diet choice and since, in my opinion, good vegetarian or vegan meals are hard to find for picky eaters like me I get really excited when I come across one that I actually like so I am happy to share this one. If there are any other picky eaters out there on the look-out for a meatless meal this recipe is for you.

If you love artichokes you will want to make this. CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE RECIPE. I almost ate the entire pan just by myself.
