Here is how we did it: BOOK REPORT MOBILE Supplies Needed: Hanger Printer paper Construction Paper or Scrapbook Paper Elmer’s glue Ribbon, Twin or yarn Instructions: After you have gathered your facts, printed and cut them out, lay them under your hanger on a table or flour.

How to Cook Meatloaf without all the Grease

When I was younger meatloaf wasn’t something my brother and I enjoyed. It was made in a bread pan baked nearly covered in its own grease. Times and cooking techniques have changed, now meatloaf is one of our families favorite dishes. Why? Because I learned how to cook meatloaf without all the grease. Back in the day, Mom would come home from work to make a delicious home cook meal, my brother and I was hungry and ready to eat it. On our plate sat delicious mashed potatoes and green beans then a slab of meatloaf. Looking back I felt so bad it really wasn’t her cooking, she made delicious meals. The meatloaf was so entrenched with grease, that was all we could taste. We couldn’t taste all the spices and herbs that went into it. When I got married, my husband wanted to try the meatloaf. So I tried a couple times using the bread pan method and just couldn’t eat it. Then along the “air cooker” and my imagination begin to wond...

Home Buying Tips for New Parents

The home buying process can be incredibly difficult and complex, especially if you are a first-time home buyer . Add first-time parents into the mix and the situation can get a lot stickier. Not only are you worried about the location and affordability, but now you need to think more about safety and walkability, the school districts, and your house size for a potentially growing family. Add in a mess of other factors that you’ll never think about until you’ve lived through them (the best way to learn is renting a home or apartment with your kids before buying a house ), and it’s easy to make a mistake no matter how thorough you’ve been. Thankfully, we’ve done the research and put together a few tips so that you can feel confident in your search for a kid-friendly home.
