Nothin' Says Lovin' Like an Easy Bake Oven!

This past week my sweet Princess needed some good baking therapy after losing her little pet mouse. So I got out her Easy Bake Oven and away we went!

She was so excited to whip up those mixes! She made us all dessert for after our dinner that evening. So sweet!

She chose to make brownies for her dad and me, a chocolate cake for her brother and a yellow cake for herself.

We had a great time together in the kitchen~it was some quality *girl* time! She couldn't wait until dinnertime came so she could present her desserts.

And I must say, they tasted way better than the mixes I used as a child:) And the frosting was much prettier!

My Easy Bake Oven looked like this:
And, oh, how I loved that thing!

Did you have one as a child? Did you just love it, too?

Her baking looks Oh So Yummy!
I never had an Easy Bake Oven. My daughter on the other hand did. She & her dad spent more time baking with it than her and I. What is nice is that you can buy cake mixes such as Pillsbury brand etc and make the baking items right from those mixes and not have to spend and arm and a leg on the actual EBO brands. There are recipes via google if ya search.

She is so cute! And yes, I had an easy bake oven. I'll never forget it. I wanted one so bad! My brother was outside and saw my mom open the trunk and there was the oven. He was good not to tell me but after Christmas he told me, "there's no such thing as Santa." How do you know? "Because I saw your oven in the trunk before Christmas." It was a bittersweet moment. I really didn't want to let go of my belief but I was having doubts and he confirmed it. Went on to really enjoy the oven though! Had fun baking cakes. Don't think mine looked that good either. Thanks for the happy moment!

Thanks for the reminder that you can use regular mixes in these. I keep forgetting that! I'll be looking those up:)

Merry Christmas!

The Reading Game: A Review

I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute ...

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat ...

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will ...
