Today we are sharing our family’s Angel Wings Recipe, otherwise known as Chrusciki. Christmas is a time for not only making memories but for remembering. Certainly, when we look back on Christmases past, we are sure to conjure up some memories of food. In just about every conceivable celebration, you will find food. Not surprising… food sustains …

We skipped ahead a week… but I know everyone else is jumping around a somewhat too. We were a bit behind on some of our apple activities so I wanted to keep that theme going. Also, our leaves are also just finally coming into full color. So next week will be a better week to gather …
This time of year, of course brings us to the cider mill… or I should say mills. I believe Johnny Appleseed would be pleased to find the acres of orchards in our community. We’ve already visited 3 different cider mills in our area, drank gallons of cider, eaten dozens of warm donuts, and picked bags …
This week our focus was on wooly things. We of course love them wooly things! Pelle’s New Suit is one of our favorite books. I think the kids know it by heart. For a little field trip for the kids (ahmm… yeah, it was for the kids not me 😉 ) we visited a not …
This week’s theme was The Little Red Hen. Although we did read the book and completed the project we will actually be revisiting this theme again in a few weeks when we get to go on a Flour Mill tour. Instead this week we were able to take a fun field trip to a candy …
Harvest Time Week Three – The Rusty, Trusty Tractor I don’t have any notes from our week yet. We had our big Alpaca field trip on Monday then we all got sick. We all have a nasty cold around here and just doing the bare minimum to get by. Poor Pixie sounds terrible… …
Butter Battle 2010 The Boy is 2 and 0 going up against the Kitchen Aid in the Butter Battle. For Week Two of the Harvest Unit our weekly activity was making fresh, homemade butter. We like to turn it into a contest… boy verses machine. Well the girls actually started the butter battle but just …
Our Week with Tops and Bottoms Here are some highlights from our week with Tops and Bottoms. It has been hot and hardly fall-like this past week but everyone was excited to get started.

As soon as the weather gets remotely nice, we move as much of our living outdoors as possible. This means more walk-abouts and backyard picnics. When my children were growing up, Apple Stackers were one of their favorite snacks. They could help me make them, and they were great to take on-the-go. (Note: After slicing your apple, keep the apple …
Our Homeschool Playgroup went on a field trip to the 4H Butterfly Gardens just after Easter. The presentation itself was a little below the group… there wasn’t a question the lady asked that at least half the group couldn’t answer. But everyone had a good time and enjoyed the warm sunny day in the butterfly …
