    Pumpkin Investigation Science Activity

    September 28, 2022 / No Comments

    The best science activities in my personal opinion are the ones where kids don’t even realize they are learning about science. As a lot of you know I have always had one child here who is a reluctant science student. My oldest is all hands on science and social science and always has been. My youngest however finds it abstract somehow and never really enjoyed the topic. So, hiding some science activities under the guise of play always made the most sense for them.

    10 + Simple Uses for Common Food Scraps

    October 25, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Food waste is one of the biggest contributions to landfills. One of the ways you can prevent food waste is to reuse food scraps when possible. There’s so much waste that can actually be diverted from landfill when you know how and when to reuse your food scraps. Post may contain affiliate links as a service to readers.

    Free Halloween Mandala Pumpkin Colouring Page

    September 30, 2020 /

    If ever there was a year when we all needed a relaxing hobby, this was the one. I have spent many mornings in the past six months working out and we all have been crafting, doing puzzles and colouring occasionally too. That’s why I thought this Halloween Mandala Pumpkin Colouring Page might be just right for you. Colouring isn’t just for kids after all. Colouring as Both a Craft and Relaxation Technique As everyone knows, we have all been through the ringer this year with the pandemic, but even so, we have found many ways to adjust and be resourceful.

    Comforting Cranberry Walnut Pumpkin Bread Topped with Streusel

    August 19, 2020 /

    I am a huge fan of cranberry and pumpkin separately, but throwing them both together? Sure, why not?

    Pumpkin Treats Almost Too Good To Share

    September 28, 2016 /

    I was an adult before I grew into my love for all things pumpkin. As a kid, pumpkin never appealed to me as a food, or a flavour. It was fun to carve and sometimes a treat to make pumpkin crafts, but I would never have eaten pumpkin treats.  Adulthood has some benefits and thankfully tastebuds mature sometimes. Even if you all like different things in your family, that’s okay, because some things are too good to be shared – like these pumpkin treats This roundup of beautiful pumpkin treats knocks my socks off. I probably wouldn’t have thought to put together Cranberries and Pumpkin. But these cranberry pumpkin muffins…

    Soft Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

    December 21, 2014 /

    These are inspired. I wanted to make sugar cookies one day this past week and I was on a baking kick. And my favourite cookies ever are the soft ones that you buy at the grocery store, but I wondered if I could make something similar and add pumpkin. I was also on a pumpkin kick last week because who doesn’t love pumpkin flavour? There’s something so wonderfully fresh and comforting about pumpkin spice foods and baked goods. So I decided to try to create some awesome pumpkin sugar cookies and let me tell you these turned out so good!! I started with a basic sugar cookie recipe and then…
