Do you like natural peanut butter? I could eat it

Do you like natural peanut butter? I could eat it with a spoon. 😋 We make our own by blending peanuts, and a tiny amount of oil, in a blender. The peanut butter that you grind at the health food store is 100% peanuts, but my blender isn’t as powerful as the commercial grinders, so a little oil smooths everything out. It’s so easy to make with kids! I updated the recipe, and put it on the front of the blog. Grab 2 cups of roasted peanuts and make some this week! 🥜 .

Have you ever made cream puffs? I think they are one of those desserts that seems complicated to make, but is actually pretty simple! Only a few ingredients to make the dough, and you can fill them with whatever you’d like. Our favorite fillings are chocolate mousse or homemade whipped cream. .

I just finished cleaning 3 bathrooms, putting away laundry, and vacuuming the upstairs. Sometimes I wish we could go back to this. Definitely less house to clean and less “stuff”. It was 🙌🏻 This was taken 3 years ago today, when we were living on the Air Force Base. We had sold our home and lived in our RV for 3 months before moving to a Virginia. I loved it!

AD: I need to hurry and pot those hanging baskets

AD: I need to hurry and pot those hanging baskets before he picks all of the flowers for me. He is so sweet and brings me flowers every day, usually dandilions, but he was pretty excited about these ones. I'm just glad I get to play with flowers instead of mow the yard! https://lnk2.io/wJj62pW #Automower #AutomowerFirst @HusqvarnaUSA

I love this little prep station next to my stove. Everything is right there within reach. And the next time I share it on here it will have subway tile behind it! The tile is up, it just needs grout. Have you been working on any home projects? We have a chicken coop in the works as well. 🐓 .

She said that she thinks she'd rather cook than sew, but was kind enough to work on this little shirt with me anyway. 😂 Such a beautiful young lady! The Anything But Basic Tee pattern from @dibyclub is free, and probably the most thorough pattern I’ve ever used. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it! We will be making more of these, in different styles, for sure! Such a quick and easy sew.

My kids love that I have a list a mile long of blog posts that I’d like to overhaul with new photos. This was one of them, and they were excited to see it make it to the top of the list. The same recipe for French bread that I’ve used for over ten years, but with fresh photos and a video. 🙌🏻 This recipe makes two loaves of delicious chewy bread. SO good! 🥖

This morning, I got up early and went shopping. #ad I picked up Jimmy Dean® Frozen Sausage, Egg and Cheese Croissant Sandwiches for my boys and me, as well as everything else on my list. A warm croissant packed full of delicious meat, cheese, and eggs. We enjoyed them for a late breakfast, but they'd be delicious for lunch or dinner as well. Like many moms around the world, I found myself starting the homeschooling journey with my children two months ago. I’m finding myself saying things like, “No, books based off of your favorite cartoon characters are not nonfiction,” and other phrases, as we navigate this new situation. In the mornings, I get up earlier and eat breakfast, while I plan a few fun things to add to the online curriculum from the school district. It’s actually been fun to be able to think of things I think my children will enjoy. Our daily bingo cards have been the biggest win over here. What has been a win for your family during this challenging time? If you're looking for creative ways to spice up pantry meals, head to @foodlion and check out their selection of Jimmy Dean products, like Jimmy Dean® Fully Cooked Links and Jimmy Dean® Sausage Rolls.
