Wandering through life one season at a time

Back in the olden days of blogging, everything was shared on that one website. Social media was nonexistent. Not any more! Facebook is now the #1 way that readers engage with bloggers, and most of us use several sites to share useful links & ideas.
I wanted to give you a little rundown of what I share & where, in case you only read what I post here. I don’t want you to miss out on the holiday homeschool freebies! [Read more…]
It’s not too late to enjoy some Fun Halloween Activities! I pulled these Autumn and Halloween posts from the archives. Enjoy making fun memories with your family!
{The Great Pumpkin Activities}
{All About Pumpkins Master List}
{Reformation Day & Halloween Countdowns}
{Funschool: Along Came a Spider}
I’m hoping this announcement will make up a little for dropping the ball on the Journal Pages.
{ducks head sheepishly}
I took a big step back in the summer and decided to make most of my subscriber freebies available to everyone. I saved a few in reserve for subscriber freebies, including the new journal pages.
Our life has progressively gotten busier since then with good, worthwhile things. I have found myself in a predicament – I can juggle all of the behind-the-scenes work that goes along with subscriber freebies, or I can produce quality content and printables.
I can’t do both, and to make it worse … I’ve been so caught up in trying to figure out how to do it all that I haven’t done any of it!
Soooooooo over the next week I will be working on adding the pdf files to my old subscriber freebie posts. I’m sure I will miss some of them, so I will also be adding them to the resources and printables buttons to the right –>>
No more clicking on a secret page and signing in with a password.
I will also work on some new journal pages as soon as I get the chance. Thank you for being patient with me! 🙂
p.s. I will still be sending out an email every time I post something new, so go on ahead and subscribe if you don’t want to miss anything!

My 7-year old does not like taking vitamins. We’ve tried chewables, powdered drinks, and gummies (which she liked ok, but then we discovered they are terrible for teeth.) She will take them if I force the issue, but sometimes it’s just not worth the battle.
I recently came across MegaFood Kids Vitamin Boosters and my interest was piqued when I read that this vitamin powder could be mixed into juice or a smoothie. My daughter loves smoothies!
I announced that I was going to make her a smoothie using the new vitamins that we received, and then immediately regretted telling her. What was I thinking? Now she was going to be eyeballing it for anything “weird”. I blended everything as usual, tossed in a scoop of MegaFoods Kids Daily Immune Booster, and handed it over.
To my surprise, she loved it!! She didn’t say a word about anything tasting different. I thought that maybe she forgot that I put it in there, but a few days later she asked for “another one of those vitamin smoothies”.
We try to eat a low sugar, whole foods diet, so it is very important to me to find vitamins that don’t have a bunch of sugar and fillers. MegaFoods Kids Vitamin Boosters have no sugars, sweeteners, flavorings, colorings or preservatives. They are made with organic ingredients that come straight from the farm.
Take a look at these healthy ingredients:
Kids Daily Booster – vitamins, organic orange, organic blueberry, organic cranberry, turmeric root
Kids Daily B-Centered – vitamins, bacopa, organic chamomile flower, lemon balm
Kids Daily Immune – vitamin c, organic oranges, organic blueberry, organic cranberry, astragalus root, echinacea
I use the toss-it-in method so I don’t know measurements, but here are the ingredients for Sweetpea’s favorite smoothie. I’ll measure the next time we make it and do an update. If you make smoothies often, I highly recommend the NutriBullet. We’ve had ours for about 3 years and use it several times a week. It is so much easier than using a regular blender.

Our church is planning a big Trunk or Treat event for our community. We want to have some inexpensive non-candy Halloween treats available for kids with dietary restrictions. I went on a hunt for afordable toys & trinkets since I need a large quantity, and thought I would share my findings here in case you need some ideas too.
My goal was .10 or less per piece/ .20 max, and I tried to avoid the really cheap plastic junk that nobody wants. All of the prices fell in this range at the time of this posting, but could change at any time. Check before you buy! These all ship free with Amazon Prime. Don’t have Prime?

You could also print out some free Halloween Mad Libs, roll them up, and tie with orange curling ribbon.
Do you have any suggestions for inexpensive non-candy Halloween treats?
