June 2, 2015. Preparing for Summer Camp. With June's arrival, it's time to prepare for summer fun. Camps are a great option for fun. Sleep-away, day, and family camps all provide enjoyment. We attend family camp every summer. In addition to that, our children will attend day camp when I teach a week at a science and engineering camp and again when I teach pioneer days. I can't wait! And I'm a responsible adult. That's why when I was offered the chance to review Mabel's Labels. Mabel's Labels are great&#4...

http://www.thissimplehome.com/2012/05/homemade-strawberry-jam-so-easy.html

May 21, 2012. Homemade Strawberry Jam {So Easy}. We took advantage of the early strawberry picking as a family. (We also learned that another few days may have been much better for much easier picking.) We brought home over five pounds of strawberries and intend to return again (without the children) to pick more. We have enjoyed the homemade strawberry jam by Derek's grandma for years. I consulted with her before making our jam. We used Sure-Jell. Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam. To make 2 cups of crush...

This Simple Home: Applesauce Tips (with Kids)

http://www.thissimplehome.com/2014/02/applesauce-tips-with-kids.html

February 3, 2014. Applesauce Tips (with Kids). Ten years ago I thought homemade applesauce was a delicious treat when we visited Derek's grandparents. Then I made some for myself with a hand-cranked food mill. A couple of times. Next, my neighbor. I make applesauce one bushel of apples at a time. (I do this two or three times a year.). You might be like Derek's mom and grandma who prefer smaller batches.). Clean your counters and make a working area for yourself and your helpers. Gather your supplies.

January 12, 2015. Book List of 2015. I've decided to keep track of all I read in 2015 in one blog post. The good news is I am finally keeping a list of books I want to read, too. I've gathered my to-read list for a while now from conversations, Facebook. Friends' blog posts, and even my pastor's sermons. For years, I've been collecting friends' recommendations on Pinterest. But I think this list will work more effectively. (What? Don't you use Pinterest for books? During 2015. Can I do it? By Matthew War...

July 27, 2015. How to Dip Candles. Children and adults alike enjoy homemade candles. The modern-day twist of using a slow cooker to made candle making quite easy. If you've ever wanted to make candles with a group, this is the way to do it. During a recent full-day pioneer program, the group of children loved dipping candles. Before we began, I read to them how Almanzo helped Mother Wilder make candles using molds and tallow (from Farmer Boy). How to Dip Candles. Cold water in a deep, open container.

August 19, 2014. Paper Towel Tie-Dyed Flowers. For sponsoring this post. To make your own easy tie-dyed flowers, begin by gathering your materials. Paper towels (sturdy like Viva Vantage. Water (in a spray bottle or eye dropper). We began by coloring our sturdy Viva Vantage paper towels with regular Crayola markers on a protected surface. Chose two or three colors that blend nicely. It's nice to leave a bit of white on the paper towel. Also consider coloring lightly, even with the side of the marker.
