Beef Stew

Winter time for me means crockpot soups, stews and more comfort foods. Beef stew is a family favorite like most my recipes. I swear the kids tell me all the time "mom you are an amazing cook." Sometimes, I do not believe them because I make mistakes, I fuck up, it is called being human. Butttttt other times, I am like hells yes I am!!! That dinner was amazing!!! This is one of those. You Will Need: 1 Chuck Roast 1 Bag Small Potatoes, cut 1 Bag Baby Carrots 64 oz. Beef Bone Broth (this is important) 4-6 packets Beef Gravy (I use Kinder Bone Broth Gravy) It is important you use beef bone broth. Why? Because bone broth is sooooo good for you! It has natural collagen and fats that keep you from getting sick. We switched to bone broths ONLY and have rarely gotten sick during winter months. Nothing more than a common cold, no flu, no covid *knocks on wood*! Crockpot cook on high for 4 hours, low 6 hours. I like low and slow!!

Christmas Shop With Me

Shopping for my families Christmas gifts. I tend to get these done early so I know everything will be here on time, I always get VERY nervous that things will arrive late and will ruin someone's gift. I did shop for my dad prior to this (throughout the year) and I crocheted him a blanket. My husband, and 2 kids were shopped for here (except Kris' desktop I got on Best Buy, Kai's was out of stock on Best Buy so I had to get it here). I also got Dan's new iPad 12.9 off another website prior to this when they had them closed out I think I have had that iPad for 4 months now just hidden away (under my side of the bed) lol. 

Our 2 children are homeschooled, and have been since they were in the 3rd grade (my son did homeschooling for Kindergarten then went to a traditional school, but after a lot of issues with the school and bullying, self confidence issues we decided to put them back in K12 (OHVA) and they have been there ever since. My daughter, Kai, has gained sooooo much confidence in math (which is the subject she was struggling in big time). OHVA allows her one on one time if she needs it for extra help, the teachers are amazing at answering her questions and giving her guidance when she needs it. OHVA is just like a traditional school, except it is online. They are expected to attend online live classes with their classmates and teaches daily (they have 6 or 7 classes a day right now). They are excepted to do everything a traditional school would except from high schoolers.
