Apple Picks

I have lots of friends who have recently made the transition from 1 child to 2 (or more) children.  Sorta Crunchy’s advice for moms making the transition to having several children at home is great and there is lots of great advice in the comment section too!

I’m definitely going to be using some of these snowman printables from Confessions of a Homeschooler with The Littlest Apple sometime soon.  What a fun resource!

I’ve been wanting to make homemade vanilla extract for a couple of years now.  This guide from Passionate Homemaking makes it sound so easy!

These Butter Fudge Fingers from Your Homebased Mom sound delicious!  Maybe a contender for my Christmas Cookie Boxes this year?

I think my Tall and Creamy Cheesecake from last week is in for some stiff competition….in the form of this Cappuccino Fudge Cheesecake from Smitten Kitchen.  Looks amazing!

The best way to teach your children kindness is to model that behavior yourself.  Simple Mom has a great post about cultivating a life of kindness with your kids.
