I'm always on the hunt for a great breakfast recipe and this weekend I found one on Pinterest that had my family asking for seconds. We love apple fritters so I had a feeling this one was going to be a hit. Ya'll, this stuff is so great and is even good as leftovers or served chilled. It would also make a great dessert. Want in on the recipe? Thought so. *Ingredients* 5 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced (I used fiji apples and it was still delicious)6 tbsp butter1 cup packed ...
Mama Gertie’s Hideaway Campground Review
There are great campgrounds, and then there are GREAT campgrounds. Mama Gertie's Hideaway was a GREAT campground. This North Carolina gem is located in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina and it's a real beauty. Our oldest said it was probably his favorite campground we have been to yet - and we have been to many. They are conveniently located near many local recreational options, right at the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This campground features full hookup RV sites for ...
5 Reasons Why We Chose Grand Design
Five RV's in nine years. We started with a pop-up and are now in our second fifth wheel. We've owned everything from a Coleman to a Rockwood, to a Forest River and now Grand Design.

Our 2021/2022 Homeschool Curriculum
‘Tis the season for all things back to school. I’m seeing LOTS of new homeschoolers around here over the last year or so (thanks to COVID) and getting lots of questions about our homeschool curriculum. We are officially into our 11th year of homeschool which means we have tried a lot of different curriculum over the years. When we first began homeschooling, I was all for the combined, boxed kits where everything arrives together in a box on your doorstep and you don’t have to do anything ...
A Morning Well Spent at Christian Way Farm {review}
There are SO many farm tours and field trip ideas out there, but which one do you choose to visit? If you're like us, we try to visit all of them (or at least want to visit all of them), so we loaded up and headed to Hopkinsville, KY earlier this week to visit Christian Way Farm. Grinding corn to feed the farm animals, rides on the lawnmower train, playing a round of mini golf together, learning about what it takes to keep up a farm, swinging at several of the playgrounds, gathering eggs ...
We Threw a Fiesta Birthday Party!
Bright colors, lots of fun, piñatas, tacos, and queso. What could be better, huh? Our little gal turned 5 last week and we had the best little fiesta party to celebrate. I figured we had to have a fiesta since taco night is her favorite night of the week. For the meal, I knew I wanted tacos (both hard and soft shell), all the fixing, rice, queso (lots and lots of it), homemade guacamole (see recipe below), chips, and a fun, fiesta drink. Her cake was made by her great aunt and was the ...
