Homemade back-to-school snacks and breakfasts


Hey Reader!

Back-to-school season is here, and whether your kids go to school, homeschool, or you are just trying to get back into a steadier rhythm, this time of year always makes me think about easy breakfasts and simple snacks.

I love having a few homemade things ready to go, especially for busy mornings, lunchboxes, or those moments when everyone suddenly acts like they have not eaten in three days.

So this week I wanted to share a few recipes that are helpful to have around.

Hey Reader! If you read about our skid steer fiasco a few weeks ago and thought that was entertaining, well, apparently we like providing ongoing entertainment over here. Last weekend’s episode: the pool wall. Getting to this point has been a project all by itself. We have only had weekends to work on it because Theron works during the week, and it felt like every single weekend brought another torrential downpour. So trying to get the ground leveled, sand hauled, and everything ready has...

So this week I wanted to share a few recipes that fit right now. Low Sugar Peach Jam Recipe Without Pectin If you are finding peaches at the farmers market or...

Hey Reader! Last week I told you we were getting ready to level the ground for our above ground pool, and Theron did an amazing job. He rented a skid steer and had the pool area dug out in about 4 hours.
