    Homemade Hot Pockets your Whole Family will Love!

    April 25, 2021 / No Comments

    When I told my girls we were going to start eating less processed foods and get away from foods wrapped in plastic, one of the biggest upsets was the thought that we would never have hot pockets as a simple snack again! Little did we know, this is a great alternative to store-bought hot pockets with simple ingredients! Enjoy some childhood nostalgia with these homemade hot pockets. If you’re in the mood for more cozy, satisfying meals, browse our favorite Comfort Foods and Classic Recipes. YUP… it was devastating news to all of us! For them, they loved the way they tasted.

    April 24, 2021 / 4 Comments

    I was so excited to get into my creative side a few days ago and make these adorable beach-themed wine bottle decorations. They are so cute and super easy to make. And the best part might be the first step — you must drink the wine before you can do the upcycling craft! 😆 If you’re into long explanations (and you want to dive into my amazing personality 😉), read on for how I did my wine bottle decor! If you’re into the short and sweet version scroll to the bottle for a quick list. I’m a picky wine drinker but I finally found this watermelon flavored wine that I…

    Freedom Within Limits — The Idea of Rights, Responsibilities, & Freedoms in Montessori

    April 24, 2021 / No Comments

    A common misconception about Montessori classrooms is that students get to run free. That they get to do WhAtEvEr they want to do in the classroom. Many people think that Montessori = Freedom, but it’s not that simple. I am not disagreeing, there is a LOT of freedom in the Montessori classroom at home. The real Montessori way of thinking is FREEDOM within LIMITS. This has been a constant topic in our class discussions lately as the students learn what they can control in the classroom with their choices and actions. It is a conversation that can easily be had in the home too! I am currently a Montessori Lower Elementary…
