Grrr I'm feeling a little frustrated with Pinterest's latest update preventing me from pinning more than 15 pins from the web at a sitting. It's so annoying!
I have recently started investigating The Trim Healthy Mama and so far both Paul and I are impressed with how satisfying the meals are. I have been inspired by my mother ... This week Sir N has been sampling THM foods with me. He has been tasting my Singing Canary drinks I have been making each day. I am trying to tweak it to my personal taste ...
I am also enjoying the photographs and video's that are being shared on the Prince William and Kate Facebook page.
In our home school this week…
- Sir N so enjoyed that Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle that we are off to the library to borrow another book in the series.
- He is also enjoying The Usborne Time Traveler so much so that he can't wait for us to go to Rome!
- I'm so enjoying listening to him read I Can Read It! Book 2 to me.
- Today Sir N and I are going to the library to get some books to continue our Expedition Earth journey. He loves traveling the world.

ReplyDeleteMary unfortunately there is only one book available at the library. Sir N loves the funny names of the families :) Blessings to you too and your welcome
DeleteI'm following Trim Healthy Mama too (down 10 pounds and I'm not even "fully" on plan yet).
ReplyDeleteMrs. Piggle-Wiggle was a big hit with my daughter as well (and I remember reading it when I was a kid!)
Never read Mrs Piggle-Wiggle before but I do confess I enjoyed it too :) I will be sharing about Trim Healthy Mama on Monday. Still not fully on plan yet either ...
