I have this friend who is a supermom. Seriously, I think she has a cape and everything. So when I saw the home-ec type curriculum she was using with her daughter, I knew it must be a quality program. I’ve been wanting something to intentionally teach my kids the basics of cooking and cleaning (it also includes sewing, but we all know I’m going to skip that section), so I ordered Future Christian Homemakers and started a few weeks ago. The kids love it! I’m doing the devotional parts with just Emma, but the cooking and laundry and cleaning with both kids (Ben has wanted to be Emeril since he was 4 years old, so I couldn’t exclude him from cooking lessons. And what kid doesn’t need instruction in cleaning?!). I like how systematic the curriculum is, with step-by-step instructions. The kids love the feeling that being independent gives them. Our first lessons covered laundry from start to finish, and cracking eggs to make scrambled eggs and French toast.

Next lesson: boiled and deviled eggs, and ironing. Um … I might have to call Supermom and borrow her iron. Not sure when I last saw one around here.
