I made this for lunch yesterday. Yep, a PBJ on my toasted home made bread.
When I was a child in elementary school (now called middle school, I believe) I got myself up when my alarm went off, got ready for school, made my own breakfast (similar to the peanut butter and jelly sandwich above), stirred up a pitcher of frozen orange juice and drank a glass of it, then walked to school. Of course, my parents monitored all of this, but I was quite independent.
My Mom was a Montessori Mom long before we knew much about Maria Montessori. We grew up to be quite independent from an early age. That's why I was so surprised to see other parenting methods among my friends when I had children of my own. Their mothers actually got up and told the kids to get up to go to school. Wow, what a difference! I'm glad I didn't know any better when I was in school.
Something else pretty terrific about my family when I was a child was that we had dinner together every evening.
I hope you also have fond memories of your childhood. All of these memories came floating back today as I made a PBJ for lunch....
