wfmw – best ever strawberry cake

July 1, 2009 By: amyswanderingcomment

wfmwbannerkristen

I have a confession to make … we ate this for breakfast this morning! It wouldn’t still be good by the weekend (when we normally have dessert), and it’s got to be healthier than Froot Loops, right?

This my mom’s lovely recipe. The strawberries in the cake make it dense & moist, and the icing is thick like cheesecake. It is so delicious!!!

Best Ever! Strawberry Cake

1 strawberry cake mix

3 eggs

3/4 cup oil

3/4 cup water

10 oz. frozen, sliced strawberries (thawed & drained)

Mix together for 2 minutes on med speed. Pour into a greased and floured 9 X13 pan and bake @ 350 degrees for 30-35 mins.

Cool.

Icing

2  8oz pkgs of cream cheese (softened)

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (softened)

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together until blended. Frost cooled cake.

This is much better made ahead of time and refrigerated for several hours, or even better, overnight.

Run on over to We Are That Family for tons of summer recipes!

2009 Schoolhouse Planner

June 29, 2009 By: amyswandering1 Comment

2009HSPlannerCoverMDI received an email not long ago about the new 2009 Schoolhouse Planner and kind of dismissed it. Why would I pay $39.00 when I can just dig something up on the internet for free? I was excited to find out that the planner would be my first review for the TOS Crew, but still not expecting much. Oh!My! was I surprised at all of the amazing pages!! If it’s not in there, you probably don’t need it.

Each month has calendar pages, teaching ideas, recipes, resource lists and more. Because it is an e-book, you can type your info into the planner before you print it out!

PlannerSpreadMonthly

There are homeschool forms galore: planning sheets, schedules,report forms, journal pages, co-op planners, records, attendance, curriculum lists.

PlannerSpreadSchoolForms

The household forms have everything you need to organize your home, devotion time, garden, shopping & holidays.

PlannerSpreadHomeForms

My favorite part of the planner is all of the miscellaneous lists – a treasure chest of things every homeschooler should know all at your fingertips. Things like: composers, states & capitals, letter writing tips, getting into college, planets, types of clouds, branches of government.

If you can afford it, I would urge you to prayerfully consider the 2009 Schoolhouse Planner. I think it will be a huge blessing to you & your family!

Be sure to check out the TOS Homeschool Crew to see what others think of the planner.

school year’s eve party planner

June 26, 2009 By: amyswanderingcomment

FrugalFriday

Cookie Magazine has come up with a really cute celebration for back-to-school called School Year’s Eve.

You can download templates for invitations, decorations, games and more.

Register to order your FREE official School Year’s Eve™ Party Starter Kit (while supplies last).

I think this will be such a fun thing to do with my kids, and it doesn’t cost anything but a little creativity! (Btw, we homeschool, but we still get excited about the new year : -)

You can find lots of money-saving tips at Life As Mom.
