We have a couple of family traditions around our house when it comes to Christmas. One of those traditions is adding a new nativity scene to our collection. There is just something special about being surrounded by lots of different nativity scenes. I almost always wait until after Christmas when they put everything on sale to seek out the nativity scene for the following year. Last year, we looked and looked yet we were unable to find a nativity scene. I was beginning to think that we wouldn’t be adding a new nativity scene to our collection. It seems that…

Names of Jesus Study
Posted in Holidays, and Homeschooling
I was trying to decide what we should do for our Christmas studies this year, but nothing really was coming to mind. We’ve done a variety of studies over the years, but I finally decided that we were going to go back and do another Names of Jesus study. Munchkin really enjoyed it when we did it a few years ago, so I thought it might be a good one to revisit.

My previous experience with Stevia hadn’t been that great, but I went into the review with an open mind as I am always on the lookout for good products. NuNaturals is committed to providing top quality products that taste good. I had heard wonderful things about their products from an online friend, but I also knew that I’d heard…
Cranberry Macadamia Nut White Chocolates
Posted in Gluten Free, Holidays, and Homemaking
I admit that I have a fondness for white chocolate even though I know it’s not the healthiest of treats. I rarely eat it which makes these treats extra special. I found some white chocolate chips inexpensively on Saturday, so I snagged a couple of bags. I decided to make these treats with some leftover dried cranberries and macadamia nuts that I had on hand. The measurements are approximate as I just added ingredients until I liked the results. Ingredients: 2 cups white chocolate chips 1/2 – 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 – 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts 1/2 tsp.…
