Beyond the Leftovers – Turkey Stock & Turkey Pot Pie

Thanksgiving is over.  It always seems surprising to me because of such build up to Thanksgiving and for all the work that goes into the one big meal.  It is definitely one of my favorite meals of the year, how can it not be with all those delicious dishes! My favorite part of the big meal though?  The leftovers. I’m sure that you all have been eating leftovers for … [Read more...] about Beyond the Leftovers – Turkey Stock & Turkey Pot Pie

Amazing and Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

I am a stay at home mom and we homeschool, because of that, I think it should be incredibly easy to get a healthy, homemade, amazing meal on the table each night.  For some reason, it is not easy.  While I do tend to make most of my meals from scratch, I realized that having to start dinner at 3pm in order to eat by 6pm was not working. There are so many amazing and easy crock pot … [Read more...] about Amazing and Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe

How to Make the Best Iced Coffee

I love coffee.  I know I have mentioned it before, but there it is.  I love it.  I love to hear the coffee pot going in the morning, I love the smell, and I love a nice hot cup of coffee as soon as I get up (but after I brush my teeth!). Something happens in the summer though, I still love my hot coffee first thing in the morning (Maine mornings are cold!), but once that first … [Read more...] about How to Make the Best Iced Coffee

When you want cheese, but you gave it up for Lent

I really love cheese.  There I said it.  I know it isn’t the healthiest of foods, and I know that it gives me headaches, but for some reason I have a hard time giving it up. I decided that I would do just that for Lent this year. I have wanted to participate in Lent for a few years now, it isn’t something that we have ever really talked about in my home church, but it is … [Read more...] about When you want cheese, but you gave it up for Lent

When I was choosing curriculum for this coming yea When I was choosing curriculum for this coming year I thought I was totally on top of things, just to realize when I was laying everything out that I totally forgot to get science for my 7th grader. 🤦🏼‍♀️

We chatted a bit about what he wanted to do, and what he decidedly DID NOT want to do, and we came up with the #scienceunlocked kits from @homesciencetools 

I am sharing an unboxing of the four kits we chose as well as my first thoughts. 
You can find the video at the link in my profile.

I think that it is going to be a great science year for him!
