Do you happen to have a bottle of Italian dressing in your cupboard or fridge? That’s how this recipe came to be. Found a bottle of it and couldn’t remember why or even when I bought it. But a slow cooker and some chicken, and we had a delicious slow cooker Italian chicken dinner. Slow …
We love baked goods, especially homemade, but I have been trying to eat better, feed the family healthier choices and exercise more. These oatmeal raisin cookies are delicious, and yes, while not chocolate chip, still worth every bite. We loved our baked goods here as you maybe can tell from our recipe box. Dry First: 1 1/2 cups of …
Early in the afternoon the girls requested play dough. Ugh, ours needs to be thrown out and we have no flour. So internet here I come. I found some interesting recipes but I couldn’t get over the idea of making putty out of toothpaste. Toothpaste putty, sounds odd doesn’t it? On Monday I had my …

Yesterday at our local dollar store I saw some test tubes and I thought of the possibilities for us to have some messy fun. For our first science experiment, we started simple. Testing acidic reactions in this experiment with lemon juice, and baking ingredients. This is really great for your youngest learners. Take it outside …
Let’s go outside and make something fun. Something like this bouncy ball experiment. I try to do science experiments outside as much as possible, because it leads to easier clean up. I don ‘t limit them to outside out, but outside is much easier to clean up, and that means I usually enjoy them more. …
I saw ‘Cloud Playdough’ on another blog (I wish I knew which one!) and had to try it. Looking at ours and what I think theirs looked like, I think we did something wrong or you really do have to use all 8 cups of flour at a time. Either way, we had fun. Homemade …
I’m not sure why, but I’ve been making desserts lately. Yesterday I tried something all new, with Blake looking over my shoulder telling me it wasn’t going to turn out. Boy was he wrong. This chocolate cobbler was not only delicious, but it was so easy to make. Hardly any mixing to do, very few …
