Hello...Welcome to my first blog. I can't wait to share my life's successes and failures, a no holds barred truth of the matter, life experiences with you. The "name" was a hard one to come up with till a friend of mine said you can post things from your everyday life. Like my gardening, cooking and crazy life as a band mom ...not to forget the biggest part of my life, my kids and our homeschooling adventures, in-which, Core Curriculum came to mind. Hence Core Cooking and Much More. Hope my blog inspires you in some way. I know others have inspired me and I thank them for it. Who knows, maybe a book might come of this one day.
