You can still make these 7 Homemade Holiday Soap Recipes from scratch and have them ready in a day or two. How? You can Hot process them! Here’s instructions for Hot Processing Soap and a Video Tutorial. I thought it would be a lot of fun to have soaps in out kitchen and bathrooms that...
This party mix is totally amazing! It is so delicious and can be made within minutes. Now, this is in NO way real food….not even close…not nourishing or anything of the like due to the amount of sugar.. BUT, you can make this organic/non GMO very easily!! I never claimed that we don’t eat...
We will often get Kettle Corn at fairs and parks in the Summer, or get togethers during the Winter. There’s no way I would buy the microwavable bags of popcorn after it came out that not only were some of the ingredients bad, but that the actual lining of the bags were causing factory workers...
We love apple cider!! My one son always asks for it once he starts seeing it in the store. I actually wanted to buy some the other day for a class I was teaching. We were having a “Redwall Feast” and needed some good apple cider (Redwall is a great book to read with your...
Some might be thinking it’s early to be thinking about 11 homemade Christmas gift set ideas, but it isn’t if you make all of those gifts yourself. A lot of us who make gifts have to plan ahead for production time, curing stages, or steeping times. I have been teaching a class at our home...
I’ve always loved doing little fun things with my kids. I have a daughter who is super artistic and boys who pretend they aren’t as interested, but are right in there whenever we start any project. These Fall Crafts for Kids caught our attention. We’ve tried most of them, and thought they were very fun...
Summer Berries and Cream means mouthwatering berry de-light! I really love blueberries. We just recently planted a few blueberry bushes that are starting to produce. They take many years to really get to a nice size (about 5 ft tall) where they produce thousands of berries. Until then, we will continue to get excited over...
A lot of the name brand marshmallows out there have a lot of ingredients that I don’t care, like gmo-corn in 500 different forms and food coloring. We were getting ready to go camping so of course we needed marshmallows to cook at the fire. I had the time and we went ahead and made...
Sometimes, the best Fathers Day gifts do not come from the store. Sometimes, the best Fathers Day gifts have nothing to do with purchasing something, but have everything to do with building memories. We live in a very consumer driven society. It is very easy to get into the mindset of, “There’s another holiday coming...
Moms always love getting something from their children that they made, whether it be a special card that says I love you, or a sculpture that’s made of mud. So, what could be better than a Homemade Mothers Day? As adults, it’s nice to give our mom’s something that they will appreciate on more of...
What could be better than 5 Cinco de Mayo Recipes? My son actually said to me today, “You must really love Mexican food.” Well, that’s because I’ve been cooking it a lot lately. I do love it. My sister-in law taught me a lot in the short time that we lived in the same house. ...
Each year, my kids and I choose one special dessert to make around Easter time. Easter goodies this year: Chocolate Easter Cupcake Sheep! This year my kids asked me how I could make a cupcake look like a sheep. It’s not exactly healthy, not at all…but we do not eat things like this too often....
It’s that wonderful time of year again, and although my kids want me to buy them toys, there are a number of other people in our life who would love to have Presents From Scratch. Homemade gifts show you took the effort and care to make something for that person, and you can tell them that...
I had a large jar with no lid (broken…boys…enough said) and a stack of pressed Fall leaves. What to do?? Make an Autumn Glass display jar as a fun Fall craft of course! I saw a similar idea on Pinterest where someone had used dried flowers to decorate a jar, so we decided that we...
