Growing with Jesus

I was compensated for this review, all opinions are my own.

This year we started something new with the girls. After a LOT of discussion, research, and more discussion, my hubby and I decided we wanted to homeschool our girls this year. It has been hard, I am not going to lie. Last week was the hardest yet. But, it has been awesome! 

As I was researching how to build our day, I decided I wanted to add in a short daily devotional. Have you guys ever tried to find a good devotional for your kids? Oh my goodness! There are so many options it is VERY overwhelming. How was I ever going to figure it out?
Like I said before, I wanted it short. I knew I could not hold MGs attention long, but I still wanted something that kept Mads engaged. I sent an email to a friend asking her advice and within minutes she shot back a list for me to check out! After looking at a few reviews, I decided on Growing with Jesus. I have to admit, the cover is what initial got me. It is so cute! I also loved that there were cute pictures, a daily verse and a short relatable story.

My girls love the daily activities and the 'My Amazing World' facts. Not only are they learning about God, they are learning about themselves and the world around them.
I also love that there is a Subject Index. If your child is dealing with bullies, let's say, just flip to the subject index and see what pages in the devo talk about this and help your child through it. 
There is also an 'Amazing Facts' index! I plan to utilize this a lot! I love that I can incorporate this into our lessons.

I am so glad we started incorporating this devo into our homeschool day!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Granny's Flitters

I love my family!  There are so many things I love about each person and also about all of us as a whole.  One of the things I love about my family is we love traditions. Today I am going to share just one of the many traditions we have.....FLITTERS! To me when I think of comfort food, I think of Flitters.  It was a special morning to wake up to the delicious smell of flitters frying in the morning.  It is one smell that every time I smell I am brought right back to childhood and great memories. I am not really sure where the name "flitters" came from or if someone just made it up.  I can tell you how it got started though! My Great, Great Uncle Orville's mom (Grandma Cook) baked bread.  On the days she would make extra bread dough she would invite all of her grandkids over for a flitter night.  She would make her bread and then the extra dough she would roll out, cut into strips and fry up for the kids to enjoy.  That tradition was then passed to my
