Gearing up for a new school year....

We are "year round" homeschoolers....however, Summer months we are much lighter.  After Labor Day (much later than a lot of Homschoolers) we start our new school year!  Grade 2/3 blend for Zachary and Kindergarten for Molly!   I am excited and I know they are looking forward to new and exciting things!  In keeping with tradition, we always go to Chuck E Cheese the 1st week when the public schools are back in school...then we will hit the Bronx Zoo soon after that, before the field trips from Public schools start up...with the cooler weather coming...more park field trips are in store also!

Sharing some of our favorite moments from the 2010/11 school year...love to look back....

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts.

She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
