Philippians 4
I have a weakness. That weakness is eating desserts. Especially late at night. I know it’s an awful habit and if I really set my mind to it I would break it but I haven’t chosen to do that quite yet. 🙂
So, in the meantime, while I still indulge in sweet treats I came up with this yummy little brownie recipe. Buttermilk brownies were my favorite kind of brownies as kid. I was a bigger fan of the cake brownies than the fudge brownies back then and these just hit the spot. …

We just finished week 5 of our homeschool year. The weeks and days just fly by so incredibly fast. I see my little Scarlett learning so much and realize she is becoming such a smart and independent little girl. I’m enjoying every single day of seeing her grow up. Sure I miss some of the little baby days but I’m not sad over my little girl growing up. 🙂 …

I can’t believe we have finished 4 weeks of school already! Why couldn’t school go by this fast when I was a kid?! 🙂
Last week was a lot of fun. The school work was great and we also went on vacation. I mean, doesn’t like going on vacation? Since we went out of town on Thursday through the weekend our schedule was a bit jumbled because I wanted to make sure to still get all of our schoolwork done without having to bring a bunch of stuff with us for the weekend. …
You probably all know by now that I don’t really like sugar. I mean I like the taste of it but I don’t like what it does for my health. I am always trying to figure out ways to replace refined sugars in our house. One item that I have kept buying in this journey is chocolate syrup. I don’t use it much but my husband often wants a glass of chocolate milk after work and Scarlett likes to join in. So I went looking through some of my old pins on Pinterest and found a recipe for a homemade chocolate syrup and it got me thinking of ways to make it without regular white sugar. …

We had so much fun during week 3! Our theme was apples which we were able to incorporate in more than one subject this week. We finished out our week on Saturday pressing apples to make apple cider. It was what I was hoping would happen when I put together the school schedule but I wasn’t quite sure if it would line up or not. It did and we canned 151 quarts of delicious apple cider! …
Some nights are just crazy. You ever have one of those days where you have a million and one things on your to do list and you only managed to get one of them done and yet you feel totally zapped by the end of the day? I had one of those the other day and by about 4:30 I realized I should probably figure out something for dinner and I decided on this chicken tomato pasta. This is one of the dinners I make when I want something quick to make and quick to clean up. I actually don’t mind spending a ton of time on dinner, even when I am tired, but I absolutely hate to have a huge mess to clean up when I’m tired. So this recipe is just perfect for nights when I want something that tastes great but I can clean it up in about 10 minutes! …
I recently was going through some of my old recipes and I came across one that I had totally forgotten about. Quiche! I do like traditional quiche with a pie crust but I feel like it’s pretty rich and I’m never able to eat very much of it. Maybe that’s a good thing BUT one day I got to thinking of other options and I thought of doing a crust made with potatoes…
I really thought I was the first to think of such a thing but a quick search on Pinterest and I realized a lot of people had thought of it. 😀 I got some ideas on a method and I came up with this quiche recipe. …

Alright so we finished out week 2 with great success! Scarlett was battling a nasty cold last week so we took it pretty easy outside of school work but she wanted to do the usual routine so we went ahead with our normal schedule of things. Thankfully no one else seemed to catch the bug in our house! …

With summer ending and the cooler months starting it could only mean one thing… Apple season! Okay, I guess it can mean a lot of things but apples are the first sign of Fall to me. Last week we cleaned up all the windfalls from under our big apple tree and we ended up with six 5 gallon buckets worth. We turned all of it into applesauce and apple butter and now we have a TON to enjoy throughout the next year. …

The school year is in full swing! Oh man I have been so excited to get started with homeschooling with our oldest daughter. Like most 4-year-olds, she is curious about everything and I love seeing her face light up when she learns something new.
I wanted to do a recap of our first week and share how everything went. So far the routine is going well and I’m just so excited to share everything! …
