Chocolate Donuts Recipe
We love donuts in our house. You don't need a donut maker to make delicious homemade chocolate donuts. All you need is this basic baked donut recipe and a donut pan.
I've been making homemade donuts for many years and baked donuts are so much easier than fried! (Although you can find my tried and true fried donut recipe here) I use these donut pans by Wilton for my chocolate donuts. This recipe is so easy... read more ❯
Money Management Activities for Kids
Money management is a skill we should all learn when we are young and a skill that should be refreshed often.

You can freeze these brown sugar muffins or pack the leftovers in their lunchbox.
When I created this recipe I had an oven that always cooked things quicker than most ovens. Please adjust your baking time accordingly. If you are making regular sized muffins you might need to bake them... read more ❯
What is a Lapbook?
A lapbook is one of my favorite ways to make topics "stick" in my kids' brains.
When I posted a picture of our Oceans book on my Facebook page, I assumed everyone was familiar with lapbooking but apparently that is not the case.
I'm excited to share how these books helped our homeschool. Even my adult children get nostalgic when I pull out their old lapbooks.
I also have the opportunity to share some awesome books created by real... read more ❯
