Multi-Tasking Days

I am writing this blog entry in response to a contest at Multi-Tasking Moms blog. I am supposed to share a favorite family recipe, a cleaner I love, or examples of my multi-tasking.

I am a big multi-tasker. Here are some examples:

1. Doing multiplcation or other math facts with the kids in the car (or spelling words or making up stories). We also listen to audio books in the car.

2. When I am making breakfast in the morning, I am also putting away the clean dishes from the night before that I left out to air dry after washing them. Other things I do while cooking i the kitchen are feed the cats, prepare food for the rabbits, or work on the wash (laundry room is right next to the kitchen.)

3. I rarely watch tv without doing something else: crocheting, needlepoint, blogging, answering email, playing a game on my Nintendo DS, doing Ebay work. I just about can't stand just sitting and watching tv.

4. When I am cleaning or doing dishes, I listen to books on my iPod.

And now, just for fun a favorite recipe:
