I told a horrific story in my last sourdough post and I promise, this one is way better! Now, making and using a sourdough starter in your baking is an ancient method for adding yeast or a "lift" to your baked goodies. I decided to give it a try after reading about Ma's ability to… Continue reading The Starter

Well, today I sure have a treat for you... And by treat, I mean not. Actually, it's the most disgusting and vile thing I may ever share on my blog. It's just plain gross. I know you are so very excited to read what I've got to share with you but hold on. Let's jump… Continue reading End of the Starter
DIY Summer Camp: Part 7
Native American CampWe have just wrapped up this week-long camp in our house, and I am certain it could have lasted for weeks! Since we live in Oklahoma, there is so much rich Native American History available. We were not able to fit in any museums this week, but plan to add them over the… Continue reading DIY Summer Camp: Part 7
DIY Summer Camp: Part 6
Outer Space CampWe did this summer camp 2 years ago in 2018. It was a blast! You can find all of the DIY Summer Camp At Home Series here.

Wild West CampThis camp was originally done in the summer of 2018. We love all things "Wild West" from Little House to Lewis and Clark. Just recently, I heard my kids talking about John Wayne; "he's a real cowboy, you know..." I guess our love for the "Wild West" has even called us to move… Continue reading DIY Summer Camp: Part 5

Veggie TalesWe did this camp during the summer of 2017. Nathan had just switched jobs during this season and had to do a training in Nebraska. Of course, we tagged along and postponed the camps we had lined up for the summer. We don't usually watch a lot of videos during a road trip, but… Continue reading DIY Summer Camp: Part 3

Camping AdventureOur family loves to go on little camping trips throughout the year. We love everything from the late nights to sitting around the campfires, roasting food and marshmallows to sleeping on the hard ground. (Actually, not the sleeping part...) This summer camp took place at the end of June 2016! We wrapped up our… Continue reading DIY Summer Camp: Part 2
DIY Summer Camp: Part 1
I have an old blog, you know one of those freebie ones, where I'd write a weekly update on our schooling. It was more like a portfolio and basically just for me. (I was the only reader, haha...) I figured it would be fun to repost some of our old DIY Summer Camp At Home… Continue reading DIY Summer Camp: Part 1
Meadow Tea
My favorite herb growing in my garden, hands down, is spearmint. Well, and basil. And lemon mint, lemon basil, lemon balm... Ok, nevermind. I love every herb that is growing in my garden! Most of them are growing in pots because I hope to bring them inside come winter time. I'm thinking it will give… Continue reading Meadow Tea
