Tasty Stuffed Meatballs Recipe

Recently, I saw a recipe for stuffed meatballs… of course, I didn’t try it out right away and by the time I wanted to try it I forgot where I had seen it. But, I figured that it couldn’t be too hard to create at home. We’ve made stuffed burgers before, so I thought it would be same type of process… just smaller and not flattened. The most difficult part was figuring out what to stuff it with, but then I figured I could just do a variation of one of our favorite meatball recipes. The end result? A tasty and easy meatball recipe that is sure to be on our rotation. I also ended up making a few regular meatballs with the filling mixed…

Continents Puzzles and Coloring Pages

I won’t be covering World Geography with Squeaker for quite some time, but we do still talk about the world- both the global world and the world immediately around us. One of the ways that I’ll start introducing geography to her is by using puzzles, maps, and things like that. We’ll use this continents puzzles and coloring pages pack as well, but not until she’s ready. I might try to use these for Sweet B, once we start her afterschooling again. This is a very simple pack in terms of contents: Four piece puzzles Nine piece puzzles Coloring pages Each is included for all seven continents and also includes a set for the continents together. In the future, I do plan to expand on this…

Teaching Kids About Money and Values

So, last week when I posted part nine of raising money savvy kids, I realized that it was out of order after I posted. My mistake! It’s still a valuable post so I left it as is. This week, part eight, is going to cover teaching kids about money and values. Next week will be the final part of the series and then we’ll move on to teaching kids how to save money.

Easy Toilet Paper Roll Apple Stamping

The early apples were available at the Farmer’s market, and to me- that’s a sure sign that Fall is just around the corner. I love this time of the year for the leaf changing, apples, and all things pumpkin. To celebrate the return of fresh, local apples, Squeaker and I did a simple toilet paper roll apple stamping art project. I am one of those moms who saves toilet paper rolls, because well, you never know when you’ll be able to use them for crafts and art projects. Next we’ll make an apple tree and we’ll probably do a few more toilet paper roll crafts and art projects in the near future. This was also a fun and sneaky way to get Squeaker to use…
