In my continued quest for easy meatball recipes, I can’t overlook one of my most favorite kitchen appliances- the crockpot. Some call it a slow cooker, some call it a crockpot. Call it what you will, but this has become one of my most favorite ways to prepare meals. Especially when all I have to do is toss in my ingredients, set the heat, and walk away. That’s why I’ve gathered over 20 crockpot meatball recipes for you to try with your family. I’m sure that we’ll try a few of these in the future as I see some that are definitely up our alley. I’m sure we’ll try the basic spaghetti and meatballs at some point, but I’d really love to see how those…

Picking up where we left off last week with the Apostle’s Creed for Toddlers, today’s pack is all about The Creation Story (as told in the KJV version)- making this the second in our series of Christian Printable Packs for Kids. Most of the packs, like today’s, will be Bible story based and others, like last week’s, will be more of a concept or important tenant of faith. We’ll continue to work our way through the Old Testament and then cover some New Testament. I’m also hoping to have all the packs bundled together into one big download. The download will include a few exclusive extras and be available to purchase for a very small fee. This pack is on the longer side in terms…

We have a wild blackberry bush in our backyard and every summer, I look forward to picking fresh blackberries. Usually they never make it into the house because I can’t wait to eat them. Today, Squeaker decided she was going to “help” me pick some of the berries. And aside from the occasional red berry, she did quite well with plucking them off the bush. Now, while I love blackberries, Squeaker isn’t a fan. So she tends to just smash them in her hands. Once I saw how vibrant the purple hue was on her fingers, I grabbed her and ran back into the house for some cardstock to do natural fingerpainting with blackberries on the deck. Squeaker, at times, has been a little squeamish…

I did not have a college fund growing up and sometimes I wish I had started saving money as a child. I knew that I wanted to go to college though my choice of major was changing from week to week. It was still something that I could have saved for and maybe I should have saved for. But, not all families are in a situation where they can save for college. That’s why I want to discuss a few ways to find free money for college to help offset this expense. Some ways to save money on college expenses include: attending a state funded school (which means usually getting a tuition discount for being a state resident), and buying used books or renting your…
