    Green Chili Chicken Burritos

    Ooooooooo do I have say anything more?  Yes?  Well ok.  These are to-die-for Smothered Chicken Burritos made with Green Chili from fresh roasted Hatch green chili’s.  We usually eat bean burritos, the tradition passed down from my Mom.  Recently, my Husband asked me to make chicken ones.  No problem, sounded good to me, I used my usual recipe but switched out beans  for chicken .  Inside I slathered sour cream, pan fried chicken breast, and shredded cheese.  Top with pork green chili and cheese, pop in the microwave for 1 minute. Of course we just got bushels of fresh roasted chili, we are gung-ho with smothering everything in it.  I made…

    End of Summer Moments to Remember

    One of my favorite blogs, one of the blogs that was a huge help early in my homeschool journey is 1+1+1=1.  I was at her site recently and I came across a link-up that sounds  fantastic. Here is the description: “Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.” I love this idea.  Especially since I know this blog is basically my journal,…

    Back to School Pictures Printable

    Homeschooling + Pinterest = endless ideas for everything!  Last year Pinterest inspired me to take cute back to school pics.  Two trends stuck so I went with both: I loved the ideas and went back this year only to find that the signs I used from last year are gone.  I looked around and did not find much.  I decided to open Publisher and make some!  Can’t wait to use them when we start school. Here is  a sample back to school printable… Help yourself to these printables: PreK 1st 2nd_Grade 3rd Grade 4th_Grade 5th_Grade 6th_Grade 7th_Grade 8th_Grade 9th_Grade 10th_Grade 11th_Grade 12th_Grade

    Tragedy in Aurora – What to do?

    Tragedy has stuck Colorado once again.  I woke up in the middle of the night to send an email that was on my mind and I decided to check Facebook real quick.  The most Recent Story was my local news channel reporting the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado at the midnight premiere of Batman. Then I see my cousin posted about it and was listening to the police scanners. How terrible a tragedy. People innocently celebrating the return of an all time Super Hero.  My heart hurts when I think of the jovial mood… the young kids and teens, the young adults.  I am sure happiness filled the air.  Then all of…

    A Hike Up Waterton Canyon

    Living in Colorado, we are never lacking a place to spend the outdoors!  We especially love the mountains.  So many trails, parks, rivers, it is a dream living so close to it all. One place we love to go is hiking in Waterton Canyon in the foothills of the Rockies.  My husband took the boys there recently and they spent 4 hours, hiking, fishing, climbing and exploring. The best classroom ever! I had to enlarge this first picture for you … my boys!

    Think About These Things

    In today’s world, every other minute my mind is taken off my Creator, the triune God.  When I know the things we read in the Bible are true, what can lure my thoughts away from Him?   He is love, grace, mercy, justice, everything, He is the Alpha and Omega. Sadly, just about anything snares my thoughts, steals my mind from Him.  I need Him to guide me every second.  How can I keep Him at the top of my mind?  In Philippians He tells us what to keep our minds on, Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is…

    Have You Not Heard?

    Comfort for God’s People 40 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. 3 A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord[a]; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.[b] 4 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” 6 A voice says, “Cry out.” And I…
