Food. Faith. Family.
It’s finally s’more season! Around these parts, cool weather is highly anticipated. Nothing is better about country living than spending the evening out in the yard gathered around a bonfire. We sit, relax, tell stories, play games, and roast marshmallows. And of course, you can not fully appreciate a roasted marshmallow until you’ve nestled it between two graham crackers and a Hershey bar. Pure bliss.

Our FunBites Minion cutter has been getting quite a bit of use around here! In fact, it hasn’t made it a day without being used. Lyla literally woke up this morning asking if we can make breakfast with her goggles. These cute little Minion pancakes are by far her favorite creation. She gobbled them all up! After a little play time of course. Bee-doh Bee-doh!! These Paleo Banana Pancakes are just as simple for you to whip up as they are for your little ones to cut into minions. All you need is a few ingredients, a funbites cutter, and some imagination! …
Funbites finally released their new Minions cutter, and Lyla is thrilled! Despicable Me, or “Beedo” as she calls it, is her favorite movie series to date. What’s not to love about those guys?! As soon as our cutter arrived in the mail, she was ready to give it ago. She asks me several times a day if she can cut some goggles. We have gone through an entire loaf of bread this week…. Next week i’ll be more prepared with a variety of cutable foods. lesson learned.

We are three weeks into our home preschool, and loving it! I have a little bit of catching up to do, but I will be sharing our weekly learning adventures here for you to follow along. I have lots of fun learning activities for you little ones. Our first week’s theme was “All About Me”….
My daughter and I are currently on week number 3 of homeschool on the homestead! It has been quite an adventure, and we are loving every second. I do plan on sharing all of our learning activities here on the blog, I just haven’t gotten an extra second since we started. I have been going non-stop! Lyla is absorbing like a little sponge, and so eager to learn every day. She bounces right out of bed and asks “what am I learning?!”. Today, my answer was “bones”….
I recently received a sweet gift from my new friends over at Prayer Packages. Coincidentally, it happened to arrive just on time as I was recovering from a Crohn’s flare up and a week-long hospital stay. Good old fashioned snail mail is not something I receive too often, and this beautiful package was quick to put a smile on my face.

My daughter and I had such a good time creating these delicious bite-sized snacks. These are a great treat for the kids, and perfect for getting them involved in the kitchen. My three ear old daughter did all the pouring, mixing, and cutting! Lyla was so excited to create, bake, and pack her own snacks. They turned out fantastic and taste just like the real deal!

Feeding a toddler can be intimidating. You want to be sure your child eats, so you pull out every trick in the book to make eating more fun and you pray that they will get enough.
