I have never tried Chicken sausage. (on purpose anyway….I’m sure that there has been some random chicken parts have been thrown into the usual cheepy hot dogs I buy at Wal-mart.) But this is the first actual PACK of Chicken Sausage I bought, with the word Chicken written in larger then an 8pt font. Anyway, to continue on with my …Read the Rest
Just trying to squeeze in another planet craft before we move on! This on is a craft for children to learn about Jupiter, and more specifically, the weather on Jupiter. Click Here for Jupiter Mosaic Craft I paired this up with a book called Destination Jupiter, which has lots of information about the planet Jupiter for young children. This mosaic …Read the Rest
It’s all put together now, I added in the fun frames that I made the other day, with a set of ribbon candles made from this gorgeous blue ribbon I picked up at Michaels. I stuffed it all in a three tone basket (Grandma has a basket collection) that I picked up from there as well. I hope she likes …Read the Rest
Thursday is Home EC’ day at our house, and it’s a day of the week that is anticipated by many greedy little children who seem to flock around the kitchen instead of staying at their desks like good little homeschoolers. Sissy comes because she is excited about what she will cook. Bubba comes because he is excited about what he …Read the Rest
I have NEVER heard of this cheese before! When I saw it in the store I thought, “A special kind of cheese, made just for frying?” I am going to be the “Best Wife on the Block” if I come home with this. (Hubby always burns his fingers trying to scrape every last piece of fried cheese from the pan) …Read the Rest
So someone in our house is turning 4 soon, and I thought what better way to celebrate then to give the gift of ugly. Ugly Doll that is. I have no idea why these ugly dolls are so cute, but the ones in the store are soooo expensive. I just can’t fork over that kind of money for a doll …Read the Rest
After a recent trip to Trader Joes (do you have one of those….they’re dangerous) I snaged these great items: And I thought it would be fun to post how I use them all. most of them. (…..I already scarfed down the Mango slices….) Anyway, I’ll start it off with how I use the Whipping Cream: Potato Leek Soup -3 Potatoes …Read the Rest
I drew a winner for the knitting needles today, and it was comment #5 Jolanthe! who said: “LOVE the knitting needle bag. I bought a bunch of fabric to make a crayon caddy for each of the kids similar to that…and have yet to make them. I should realllllllly work on that. Meanwhile, throw my name in the hat for …Read the Rest
For my knitting needles ;) Here is the ingeniously clever way I was storing them before: And here is how they currently reside: All thanks to this free tutorial I found online. I’m so excited at how it turned out, would you believe that there was a time I considered paying $30 for one of these (not that it wouldn’t …Read the Rest
I’m so glad that I actually finished Monkey’s hat before the weather really gets cold. I don’t know how it started, but somehow it’s become tradition that instead of buying winter hats for the kids, I find some way to make them by hand. Most of the time that means I’m crocheting them, but more recently I’ve taken up knitting, …Read the Rest
What do a tomato, an avacado and a string cheese have in common? They’re all ingredients in String Cheese Salad… My newest “Throw something together, it’s 5 O’Clock and we don’t have anything to go with the chicken, and we can have Cheddar Pringles again, kind of a meal” Seriously, the kids love that there is string cheese in it!
So I have been wanting to make these FOR-EV-ER, ever since they were featured on Dollar Store Crafts (Did I mention I love that site?). The frames have been sitting in my closet waiting for the perfect opportunity to shine….and finally the right moment has come upon us: Grandma’s 90th Birthday Soon my Grandma will be celebrating her birthday, and …Read the Rest
So today I made some new ribbons for my candle centerpiece. Some of you might remember a while back when I posted the first set of them on Lapbook Lessons (before I had my own “Craft” blog) Here are the old ones: And here is how I updated them for Fall: Here are the instructions for how to make your …Read the Rest
You know… I love the fact that she’s taken the initiative to write out a grocery list, But I have to laugh, because what is she expecting here? That after I wander down the cereal aisle and pick up some Honey Nut Cherrios, I’ll nonchalantly cross that off the list and move down to the next item without question? Like …Read the Rest
The past couple of weeks we’ve been studying Outer Space for our Science Lessons. I’ve been meaning to share the different crafts we’ve done along the way, but with all the snot at my house, things have been backing up on me! So I’m just going to lump them all into one post, sorry for the disorganization people, but it’s …Read the Rest
Thank you everyone for your prayers! Monkey is doing so much better and I got quite a bit more sleep last night (more then usual lately) and I’m so thankful for that. (This is not me….being excited) And as a bonus, this morning when I woke up, my daughter had 80% of her school work done. Apparently she woke up …Read the Rest
