Watercolor Nature Scavenger Hunt {freebie}

By

I have spent the last few days trying to plan out an uncertain school year and finishing up all the summer projects I thought I would get to before it is officially over. Organizing our living and school spaces, check. Making calendars and thinking about back to school shopping, check. Vision appointments made (although of course not until after our schedule gets jammed packed with everything school), check. Permit for Shane to start the big garage project finally, check.

Today I poured over Pinterest after running last minute errands, and finally decided I would just have to make my own printable to find the aesthetic and available items from our property to make my vision come to reality. 

Behold the Watercolor Nature Scavenger Hunt!

I created the template, then hand painted the images and scanned it all in together. It's fantastic that I was 35 years old when I finally learned how to create and link a PDF document. You're welcome. The scavenger hunt printable is designed to be cut out and fits in an egg carton so all the little bits don't get jumbled around. Also the grasshoppers weren't cooperating so they aren't necessarily sitting in their designated cup! 

This is a great activity for grades K-5 to get them outside and moving and also involving team work or problem solving!

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...

Oh Lovely Chicken Divan

By
Today marks my last official planned freezer cooking day for now in preparation for the new baby. I might end up making something next month, but really the freezers are getting quite full and until we eat down some things, it's quite a tight squeeze at the moment. Chicken divan, if you've never had it, oh you are missing out! This was probably the most requested birthday dinner in our house growing up and it is one of my ultimate comfort foods. It has vegetables, kids like it, and it really isn't that expensive to make either. It takes a little time because of the different layers so doubling it is a great time saver anyway (or if you have a smallish family just put half in one pan and half in a different pan for another meal. And finally the long awaited: Chicken Divan 2 packages/heads broccoli frozen or fresh (I like to use the florets when I can find them) 2 cups sliced/shredded/chopped cooked chicken (cook any way you like, baked is probably juiciest) 2 cups conde...

Keeping up with the Sadlers

By
Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?
