It’s emotionally and physically exhausting. If we could help just a little bit to take away some heartache, then they would be a better teachers for our kids.

Do you make homemade pizza at your home? We just started making our own during the quarantine months in the spring. I’ve had to do some trial and error recipes until we found one that we really like. It’s a mixture of a few recipes put together. Depending on how many people you are cooking for, depends on how much of the sauce you’ll want to make. I would error on more and then just fridge it until the next week!
Staying organized can be quite the task when you have a family. Kids come home with papers, invitations, permission slips and more. I get so frustrated with papers! I’ve decided we need one central location where we can see these important papers and be organized all at once. These family command centers are awesome.

Do you guys remember in elementary school when you used to get homemade peanut butter bars? I sure do! We would get a bar and a carton of milk. I would always hope to get the biggest bar out of the group. Yes, they were that good. In today’s schools they don’t get these homemade bars anymore. They are pre-packaged treats that aren’t near as good. So, I’ve decided I need to make these as an after school treat for my kiddos. I found a recipe that I love. However, I’ve changed a few things and made a different frosting to make them absolutely delicious. I always get compliments on them. So thank you Six Sisters Stuff and Aunt Cindy for your recipes, because when you pair them together you get perfection.
