A Book Review By Elijah This is Elijah’s book review for the book Something Extraordinary, by Ben Clanton (40 pages, 2015) *Parent’s note- This is a cute book that helps kids use their imaginations along with the little guy in the book… wishing for things, even crazy things, can be fun, but it’s often the small things that are awesome. This is a great bedtime story for little ones and the illustrations are very sweet.
Grab and Go Quiche… yes please! Here is a simple recipe for Bacon and Swiss Quiche that I can’t keep in my house! I make some things ahead so my life is easier and I honestly have to make 6 batches of this for a 2 week period… seriously! After I realized how much my family liked them, I decided to make them more grab and go to fit our lifestyle by using muffin tins to cook the quiche in. Here’s what you will need: 1lb bacon 1 large onion,…

So, what are Usborne Books… well Usborne Books & More is a direct marketing…
Can Chocolate Equal Healthy… I hope so! So having kids means having snacks and sometimes it feels you have to choose between healthy and tasty, but here are some yummy oatmeal chocolate muffins that fits the bill for both. Of course when one says healthy they don’t think chocolate and to be honest these aren’t in the same league as traditional health foods, but they are a quick, easy and delicious alternative to other, much less healthier options. You will need… 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats (1.5 cups…
How Does a Lung work? We recently purchased the Magic School Bus Human Body Lab, shown at the left and which I will be reviewing when we are completely done with the projects. One of the experiments showcased the Respiratory System and showed how to build a lung, however, this experiment is easy to whip up and I thought I would share how the kids enjoyed it! You will need a 2 liter bottle, tape, cling wrap, scissors, a balloon and a small strip of paper. To build the lung…
Yup, I told my kids the truth about Santa! I can just see the hate mail now but it’s true, the weekend before Thanksgiving, I told my kids the truth about Santa, and really it was a long time coming! Honestly, I had never wanted to go the Santa route, because it felt like a lie and as a Christian it bothered me, but my husband talked me into it, and after years of watching my children and other children obsess over Santa, I decided to tell my kids, who…
Have you ever heard of a maple pie… neither had I! Ok, so as part of our children’s home school studies, we wanted to incorporate life skills, like baking, and while learning about Canada, I found this maple pie with walnut crust recipe and thought I would give it a try. Before I go any further, prior to this pie, I had only made one other and it was a pumpkin pie, which was good, making the crust made all the difference! I also should note that up until this pie,…
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream! Most people are always looking for easy, healthy recipes and for ways to use up their bananas. This 2 ingredient ice cream recipe fits the bill and is a hit with the family! What you’ll need depends on what you like. I made 3 different versions of this ice cream and all were great! We began with banana and peanut butter, moved to banana berry and ended in banana and chocolate! For all versions you will need to peel your…
A Book Review by Emmy This is Emmy’s book review for the book The Mermaid and the Shoe by K. G. Campbell (32 pages, 2014) *Parent’s note – This book is in sync with The Little Mermaid, though different, it showcases the youngest mermaid, who runs off to find herself. I liked the message of everyone having talent and of course Emmy thought it was a great read!
A Book Review by Landen This is Landen’s book review on the book Looking at Lincoln by Maira Kalman (32 pages, 2012 and 48 pages 2017) *Parent’s note- I bought this book as a quick introduction to Abraham Lincoln in regards to him being considered an honest person. At the time we were looking at the character quality of honesty and truthfulness and to be honest, reading over this book the first time, I was underwhelmed, however, my kids, especially Landen, enjoyed it quite a bit. They read it several…
