A Very Special Christmas With Grandma by Leanne Bush

Merry Christmas! Every December many people around the world utter these words to one another as they look forward to the wondrous holiday season. In A Very Special Christmas with Grandma, Leanne Bush charms readers with the story of young Sarah who visits her grandmother for an entire week before Christmas. Readers will find themselves wishing that all children could have the same experience as Sarah-and by writing this book, the author has made this possible. Other children, along with Sarah, can experience an old-fashioned Christmas, with all its wonderful traditions.

From the moment that Sarah's parents leave their daughter at Grandma's house, it is a very busy time for this couple who are separated by generations but united by love. It is obvious that the grandmother and grandchild are very close as they happily work together on Grandma's "to-do" list to prepare for the yearly holiday. There are Christmas cards to prepare, and a tree to decorate. The tree is a real one given to them by a neighbor who lives on a large farm. The tree goes into a stand that holds water; it is Sarah's job to water the tree every day. The author describes in detail how they decorate the tree, going into detail about how they make a long chain from loops made of construction paper. Though I'm revealing my age, I remember doing this for our Christmas trees in grade school. It is fun and seems to look better than many modern decorations we buy from stores today. 
 
After the tree is finished, Grandma makes them some mouth-watering hot chocolate with her added ingredients of crushed peppermint candy and small marshmallows on top. Then it's time for bed so they can go to church the next morning. The rest of the week keeps them continually busy as they make various kinds of cookies and take some of them to a local nursing home where a group of people from Grandma's church sing Christmas carols to the elderly. The true "reason for the season" is not forgotten as Sarah helps her grandmother set up a nativity scene on the coffee table, and later, Grandma tells her the story of Jesus' birth. 
 
The week passes quickly as the two build a snowman, wrap Christmas presents, watch Christmas shows on TV, and read Christmas stories together. And on Christmas Eve, they hang up a stocking for Santa to fill with goodies for Sarah. Of course, they don't forget Santa, leaving the jolly old man milk and cookies. Before going to bed, Sarah's grandmother gives her a Christmas ornament and a special stuffed rabbit named Levi that she had received when she was a little girl. Grandma had kept him in very good condition. Now Sarah will need to do the same.
 
On Christmas morning, Sarah discovers that Santa Clause has come and given her many nice presents. Later Sarah's parents arrive, and there are more presents to exchange. Then, after a delicious ham dinner with all the trimmings, it is time for Sarah to go home. She gives Grandma a very special hug and kiss, and of course, thanks her for the wonderful memories of such a special week. 

This book is excellently narrated and an adventure that young children should not miss out on. It is written in age-appropriate language for children who want to be read to as well as for children who are old enough to read the words all by themselves. Readers should thank the author for reminding children of the values of yesterday and the special bond that they can have with their grandparents. It is my recommendation that individuals buy several copies of this book for Christmas gift-giving. The children on their list will truly enjoy it-so will the parents and grandparents

Tasty Old Fashion, Economical Casserole Recipes

Wintertime is a great time for casseroles. It is a perfect time to use the oven as it can spread warmth throughout the house. The warmth, the delicious aroma wafting through the house, and you with your feet up while your meal cooks without your assistance! And one of the best things about casseroles is that they are economical. Here are two very different casserole recipes to add to your recipe box. This Spanish Rice Casserole is made with bulk sausage and rice. The Chinese Noodle Hamburger Casserole uses Chinese noodles and ground beef, as the name implies.

SPANISH RICE CASSEROLE

1 lb bulk sausage
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
1 onion, chopped
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 cups boiling water
1 can tomatoes
3 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
5 slices bacon, cut-up

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook sausage until brown; crumble and drain. Combine rice and onion; brown lightly in reserved drippings. Dissolve bouillon in boiling water. Combine sausage, rice mixture, bouillon, tomatoes, chili powder and garlic powder; mix well.

Spoon mixture into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Place bacon over the rice and bake another 35 minutes.

CHINESE NOODLE HAMBURGER CASSEROLE

1/4 cup butter
1 lb extra lean hamburger
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can Chinese noodles

Brown meat, onions, celery and bell pepper in a skillet in the butter. Add the soups and simmer for 30 minutes. Add Chinese noodles and mix well. Pour into a lightly buttered casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Book Review - 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Raise a Child Who Loves Math

This was a great, albeit quick, read. I really enjoy books with suggestions for math games and integrating them into real life. Although none of my kids hate math, I like to find ways to make it a part of their day, and I appreciated the various suggestions this book made. I also thought that the author's idea of breaking the book into various sections, including one actually explaining to defunct parents how to handle things like word problems, algebra, geometry, etc would be very helpful. (It certainly made me feel better to retain most of the information, LOL!)

I finished the book last night, and this morning put one of the suggestions to use on our upcoming vacation. Although I had already been planning to have the kids help me map out our destination, I took it a step further and had my seven year old "measure" (using both string and a ruler) the distance from Pennsylvania to Disneyworld, and then try to determine whether it was shorter to bypass Atlanta and the trip to Grandmommy's house. (Luckily, the two came out about the same! Of course, we would have stopped anyway...maybe...) Tomorrow, we'll take it a step further and determine that if we travel 50 or 75 mph, how long will each leg of the trip take us? I am hoping that this will help remedy part of the problems with traveling, as well. Of course, the best part was that my 7 year old had been struggling a little with adding three and four digit numbers - or several three and four digit numbers - and carrying, but she performed brilliantly when math was in action!

We also found a fun card game, "My Ship is Sailing," that I have never heard of before but that my 3, 5, and 7 year old all enjoyed playing.

Anyway, this short brag on my (brilliant!) children was primarily to show how well math can be integrated into our daily lives. This book is sure to spark off various creative ideas in your minds, as well, especially since it take the time to give various age-appropriate suggestions throughout the text.

The book was simply and clearly written, and things such as communitive and associative properties are spelled out. The point was made that, while a child's geometric proof may take longer than the "fastest" response the teacher determines, we should remember that finding the solution is the goal most of the time, not being the fastest or shortest (although there are times for both). In short, I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to parents whose children are struggling in math - and those whose children are not!

Hand-Cranked Ice Cream Makers Are Still a Worthwhile Investment

Who doesn't enjoy a cold bowl of deliciously silky and rich ice cream? Dating back to ancient Rome, blocks of ice would be hauled in from surrounding mountains in order to manufacture some of the predecessors to our much loved modern frosty dessert. Even though ice cream is widely available--from the corner drug store to upscale, couture parlors--there is something special about a bowl of freshly turned out ice cream made at home with an old fashioned hand-cranked ice cream maker.

While the hand-powered frozen dessert maker has a number of disadvantages compared to its electric counterparts, these disadvantages however, do not outweigh the overall value of these older machines. For one, the hand-powered machines require the availability of lots of ice and rock salt. Often times these machines were messy and would leak melted rock salt and ice slurry all over the place. But if you find yourself going to the store to pick up the ingredients, why not also pick up some ice and rock salt? After all, these are two materials which are fairly cheap. As for the leaking, an easy remedy is to encase the machine in a larger vessel such as a bowl or basin.

Another disadvantage is of course all the extra work required to churn a six quarts of vanilla which takes between 20 or 30 minutes of work. The way to get around this is to have lots of help. Growing up, every summer, we'd make a trip to grandma's house and that always meant lots of home made treats. Grandma would prepare the custard, my little brother would sit on a towel on top of the machine, and me and my sister and cousins would take turns cranking. I have to admit, that what we turned out, was much better than anything you could get at the Dairy Queen or Braums.

Hand-cranked machines do have many advantages over the more modern contraptions as well. Hand turning the cream allows you to feel just how frozen and thick the custard is. This allows you to turn faster to add more air, as opposed to the electrical versions which operate at a set speed. Additionally, hand-cranked machines often have a larger capacity, allowing you to make larger batches as opposed to the smaller 1/2-1 quart capacity of electric versions. Hand-cranked machines also allow for a certain amount of portability, allowing you to whip up a bowl of mint chocolate chip anywhere such as while out camping, while electrical machines are confined to where electricity is available.

Old fashion machines are still widely available and can be purchased from companies such as the White Mountain Freezer Company which is now owned by Rival. Another suggestion is to visit your local yard sale or antique shop and for the truly intrepid, there's Ebay.
