Our typical school day

People at times have asked what a typical day is like for us now that we homeschool. In thinking about an answer, I came to the realization that it is a little like what your child eats when they're really young. With toddlers and preschoolers sometimes we Moms worry they aren't eating what they should be eating. We all know there are those days at that age where you are convinced your child only eats gummi this or that and only drinks juice etc. The reality is, at the end of any given week, your child has had a balanced diet, albeit not the case on any given day. Our "typical" day is somewhat like that. There is no real answer because everyday is different on some level. Each day might not be a normal, structered day, but at the end of a given week, we've covered all we need to. I know Jason is learning and thriving in homeschool and that is truly the most important thing. I can say for the most part, a day usually does involve household chores and or errand running in the mornings. Sometimes I will have Jason read during that time, or do something on the computer like "Jumpstart" or "Time4learning". We'll have lunch and then our "school" is done in the afternoons. I find this works for our family. Certainly by no means am I saying that would work for ALL families. :) Soon I hope to figure out the "posting of pictures" and making everything look "prettier" on here, but for this blog I am ending with a recipe we LOVE in our house and it couldn't be easier! OVEN FRIED CHICKEN -------------------------- heat 1/2 to 1 stick of butter(please use the real stuff here) in a large oven proof dish at 375 while the butter is melting, coat 6 boneless/skinless chicken breast in 1 egg/beaten with a little milk then dredge in a mixture(I have no specific amount, I just dump some in a pan)of flour, then in bread crumbs or panko. Sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place in baking dish with melted butter and bake for "about" 20 minutes, then turn chicken and continue baking until done. Up to 30 minutes. It is YUMMY!
