Little Nino’s Pizzeria « A Mother’s Journal

Reading Rainbow

Sometimes I get out a little pair of rabbit-ears and tune in PBS for Reading Rainbow. Generally speaking we are a non-TV family but we live very close to UNC-Chapel Hill where our local PBS station is broadcast. It’s very handy to be able to tune in educational television and nothing else, but even educational television has a limited place here. I do regularly check the PBS weekly schedule to see if anything fits our unit study for the week.

On Wednesday’s Reading Rainbow was Little Nino’s Pizzeria. Even though we are not rowing Little Nino’s this week, I knew it’d be fun to tune in and watch! You know what it did right? It had us all craving pizza.

So Princess of the Universe and I made some homemade pizza dough, a good measuring follow-up to How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, and we topped it with fried bacon from Whole Foods, browned ground venison, sliced turkey meat, bell peppers and purple onion. Oh my, it was SOOOOO good.

See what Reading Rainbow and Five in a Row can do for you?

I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.

I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.

For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
