Collage Friday

Labor day came and went without huge excitement in our home.  We did make it to another minor league baseball game on Friday night.  The fireworks were beautiful as was the night! 


On Saturday my mom and I hosted a Bridal Luncheon for my soon-to-be Daughter-In-Law.  That was very special. 
(more on that party coming up next week!)



We are still on "summer break" in our home which means we are on a lighter schedule for school.  We got back to the beach this week with our other homeschooling friends and it was nice to have it empty. The children could run anywhere they wanted. There was no swimming as the lifeguards have all gone back to collage, but they could wade and gathering needed water for sand castles.


Misc happenings...

I found all these paperback books in the used book "for sale" section of our library. SCORE for 50 cents each!   We have been playing a lot of Scrabble Jr. with the girls also. 

I finally printed off some of the recipes I am pinning!  These are zucchini cookies with a vanilla icing. YUM!    The other pic is our "not back to homeschool picture".  LOL  Thanks to "Aunt Tina" for the sign a few years ago.

This weekend we are getting together with friends and finishing up our Kids Bowl Free time at the local alley.

Some other exciting news: The Fall issue of Polka Dot Balloon Magazine came out and I had two parties featured in this issue!


Back to School Breakfast





Enjoy your weekend and check out all the homeschoolers linking up at Collage Friday at Homegrown Learners!

Oh, I love this time of year when the weather is still warm and the beaches are deserted. A perfect time to REALLY enjoy them! I made the SAME zucchini cookies! I think a cream cheese frosting would be better, but they were a hit. Do you like pumpkin and molasses? I made these yesterday and they're all gone! (Link: http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/holiday-recipe-exchange-pumpkin-molasses-cookies/). Fun end-of-summer stuff!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
