Life skills

 One of the things we love about homeschooling is that the kids learn many other skills. Eliza loves to cook and help me when it's cooking time. Liam decided to learn how to do some things too. He started doing just fried eggs. he was so proud of himself . he wanted to do it all the time. I think he ate eggs every time he wanted a snack. He also wanted to make his sister a fried egg when they felt snacky and didn't know what to eat.

I am not sure if your kids do the same but for me, my kids are always asking me for a snack and when I say ok, what do you want? they say I don't know. We have fresh fruit and veggies, packed snacks like cookies, chips, crackers, etc. we have frozen snacks and they tell me I don't know... usually I respond to them : It's ok let me know when you figure it out. I'm happy to help but I can't if you don't know what to eat. 

Krystal is my dessert helper... not that she likes dessert. her only favorite is CCC... Chocolate Chip Cookies but she is always helping me when I do desserts. Eliza just enjoys both savory and sweets. She says she wants to be a chef when she grows up. She loves preparing and also eating many new food. For her trying something new is very exciting. She is the skinniest one in our family but the only one that is not picky at all.

We also take advantage of learning about gardening. We e joy planting fruits, veggies and flowers in our front and back yard. We learn about where to grow them, how much light it needs, how long they take to have flowers or fruit. Personally I love days when they are sunny. It gives me energy and makes me happy. I enjoy playing with the kids outside they days are warmer. I am usually cold so during fall or winter my body feels even colder.
