The Howard House : Showing Gratitude
http://thehowardhousehold.blogspot.com/2014/12/showing-gratitude.html
Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Monday, December 29, 2014. While the art of writing a thank you note has mostly gone out of style, in our family taking the time to show gratitude for all the wonderful gifts they received for Christmas is not only in good taste, but is also a practical learning and character building lesson! SNOWMAN THANK YOU NOTES. FILL IN BLANK THANK YOU NOTES. PENGUIN COLOR SHEET THANK YOU NOTES. HANDWRITING PAPER THANK YOU NOTE. Do you think writing thank you not...

The Howard House : July 2013

Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Monday, July 8, 2013. 10 Days of Separation! Our daddy left 10 days ago to head north to take a load of stuff, to start training and to work 4 shifts at his new job! We've never been separated this long as a couple and the kids have obviously never spent this much time away from daddy. We've completed the summer reading program and gotten our awards! You know this mama loves free stuff and free food is right up our alley! I hope we never have to spend...

The Howard House : This is How We Do It: Laundry!
http://thehowardhousehold.blogspot.com/2014/05/this-is-how-we-do-it-laundry.html
Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Thursday, May 22, 2014. This is How We Do It: Laundry! So the other day I explained how we do kid's clothes. At the Howard House, now it's time to talk about another fun topic - LAUNDRY! It was overwhelming and I was always behind. Always. So one of the first areas I noticed a DRASTIC difference in when we started minimizing our possessions was laundry. Oh happy day! I will add here that we are a cloth diapering family, which means once a week I also ...

The Howard House : These Are a Few of My Favorite Things!
http://thehowardhousehold.blogspot.com/2015/02/these-are-few-of-my-favorite-things.html
Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Monday, February 23, 2015. These Are a Few of My Favorite Things! Since I've only been homeschooling for around 8 years, I'm obviously no expert when it comes to all things learning at home. However, there have been a few things that have worked amazingly and consistently well for our family and I think many of these items would serve most homeschoolers well. So, I'd love to share them with you! It's enough to make minimalists shudder in fear. ;) ...

The Howard House : January 2014
http://thehowardhousehold.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Thursday, January 2, 2014. So it all started with this recipe. I was so excited, thinking that I could enjoy chicken alfredo without gluten or dairy, not to mention that the base of the sauce was made from a healthy vegetable, cauliflower! If I could pull this off I would be super mom! I got it all mixed up I was ready to take that first taste. Would it taste anything like what we were used to? 6 cups (1 head) cauliflower, chopped. 2 T of minced garlic.

The Howard House : April 2014
http://thehowardhousehold.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Saturday, April 26, 2014. This is How We Do It: Kid's Clothes. Clothes are something we all have to face and face routinely, so having a system in place really helps our home life run smoothly. Twice a year, I get really excited because the "changing of the clothes" time is upon us! And this year I had a sweet volunteer offer to help! I just love training this little momma! It all starts by taking every item out of each drawer and vacuuming it clean.

The Howard House : Curriculum: 2014 -2015
http://thehowardhousehold.blogspot.com/2014/12/curriculum-2014-2015.html
Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Every year before the school year begins, I always sit down and share my curriculum picks for our family. Well this year that never happened. The school year started off with a bang, we got engrossed in our studies, life, the lovely fall weather, and our homeschool co-op and it just slipped out of my mind. Well, I didn't want to just gloss over our curriculum this year, because, well frankly, we love it! Because I Said So.

Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Back to School 2013. The 2013-2014 school year has officially started! This year to kick off the festivities, we decided to start a new tradition that our family can look forward to each year. CUPCAKES! We had cupcakes for breakfast! I had seen this cute cupcake kit at ALDI the other day and knew with it's university theme, it would be the perfect start to our day. Not to mention that Woogy LOVES Sully and Mike! The cleaning ...

Thrifty and Nifty Thursdays. Faith In Action Fridays. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Starting Out On the Right Foot. I love the new year because it means a chance to start fresh! A clean slate.and a great time to reset our homes and change them into a wonderful refuge! SHOCKING, I know! Many times we receive things that we don't like, enjoy, or need and while we should be thankful for the kindness of the giver, we don't need to keep the item. This is a great opportunity to bless someone less fortunate!
