Homemade Cookie Dough: Frugal Living

I’ve talked about them a lot. Even given them as gifts. But it’s been a while since I shared the steps to goodness. Now, I will tell you up front that this, our favorite cookie recipe, is not published online anymore for free. But…Bread Beckers Ranger cookies are similar. Plus, they are a time investment. […]

Helpful Habit: Just the Basics

Right now, in these few days before our school year kicks off, I am taking every bit of advice from my friend Cassandra in Rest, Mama. She encourages us mothers to rest. “…Most of the advantage you could gain by resting is found here, in the last week or two of summer break, if you […]

Two Step Pound Cake

No sifting. No alternating. Just put it all in together and bake it. Make this cake and I promise you won’t think the same way about pound cakes ever again. It’s the only pound cake I’ve made for almost a dozen years now – since Southern Living published this recipe in February 2000. I still […]

Southern Cheese Straws Recipe

My cousin, Jessica, made these delicious cheese straws for our cousin’s Bridesmaids Luncheon. Cheese straws are a simple pleasure, come in all sorts of shapes and designs and are a tradition in the south. Here is Jessica’s southern cheese straws recipe. What would a ladies luncheon be without cheese straws? Jessica’s Southern Cheese Straws Recipe […]

Our Trip to Wonderland

It all began in January… It’s a very fine day! Yes, a very fine day! A  fine day if we keep our heads! Well, actually, practice for Alice in Wonderland began then but our time with the drama group began almost three years ago.

Meal Plan: Bunches of Batch Cooking

“A man ought to eat what’s offered and be glad to get it!” ~ Rose Watson, Mitford Series My freezer is depleted thanks to the last couple month’s worth of freezer/pantry challenges and good, cheap eats. So, it’s time to batch cook again. Maybe a mini Big Cook. I’ll use what I have on hand […]

Balancing the Needs of the Age Range

Meal Plan: Cheap Eats for Two Weeks

It has been a while since I posted a meal plan because when Grandma and Grandpa retired out west, we were given the contents of their freezer and pantry. Wow! And, so, I am working around what we already have again, just like in the last freezer and pantry challenge. Supplementing with a grocery run […]

Mud-luscious

This business of play. It’s a dirty job. But someone has to do it. Because play is a child’s job. And mud is a magnet. Dirt and water mixed together become paint. It becomes a fairy garden. Or, of course, a pie. Many a pie I made in my childhood days. If only us adults […]

Winter Nature Study: Evergreens

Our study of pine trees and evergreens sort of spread out over our other nature studies this winter. We noticed the green in the snow during our winter weather study. Some sketched pines for our Tree Silhouette study. I guess you could say evergreens were the ‘backdrop’ study of our other winter outdoor hours. And […]
