Easter Egg Printables Today we have a quick and easy last minute Easter Egg Hunt idea for you. Recently I have noticed that what my own kids want (and even what my students in my classroom want) is more one on one time and attention. And so while I love Easter candy (those tiny Cadbury chocolate eggs....they are MY FAVORITE) this year we are putting something in our Easter Eggs besides candy. We are adding printed coupons to the mix. Earlier this week I typed up some printable ... View the Post
Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation: A Project
Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation: A Project I think it's fair to say that these past few years have changed the world. I know they have changed me.

I love bread...I love eating it, making it, smelling it, talking about it, and teaching others how to make it. Plus because of the pandemic I've been able to teach all the courses over zoom from my own ... View the Post
The Movie in a Sentence Game
The Movie in a Sentence Game This is one of our family's favorite random games to play around the campfire, in the car and through texts. Here's how to play: #1. Condense the plot of a movie into one sentence. Tell (or text) that sentence to those who are playing. #2. Everyone tries to guess the movie. #3. The person who guesses correctly gets to say their movie in a sentence clue....and everyone guesses. Here is an example: I text..."Eccentric billionaire spares no ... View the Post
