There is a Difference Between Jelly and Jam

Life is about having fun, learning along the way, and throwing yourself out there once in a while.  Well, I REALLY threw myself out there yesterday making a video for my students on how to make the perfect PB&J sandwich. 

The video is instructional, funny, and shows my quirky (according to my paras) personality.  But, the bottom line is that my students loved it and they used that visual information to make great sandwiches.  That was the entire point of the video.  Goal accomplished.

So, here is the video.  I know, I look like a dork, but it was really fun to make.



I am adding a cooking class to my schedule every Friday afternoon.  This will provide my students (2nd/3rd grade) practice following a recipe, learning to set a table, and working on their manners.  All of these are important skills in the game of life.

I was searching the internet looking for easy non-cooking recipes and there was not that much out there that I could use with my lifeskills class.  This got me thinking about a possible book to write.  A visual cookbook for non-readers.  Hmmm, this would definitely get me off the comfort couch and trying something new.

I would love to hear your ideas of what things you do to throw yourself out there.   I would love to get a comment from you.

Here’s to getting off the comfort couch and living life ~ Lisa
