Delicious Pumpkin Scones

 Hi friends,

 If you are looking for a yummy fall treat to bake for your family these pumpkin scones will be the perfect fit!
This delicious recipe comes from my aunt J who is an incredible cook and loves to bake up yummy treats to share with family and friends. A few years ago I planned and hosted a surprise tea party for my grandmothers 85th birthday and of course a tea party wouldn't be complete without yummy food! My aunt happily baked up these amazing scones along with her exposition scones (recipe and more info about the tea party can be found on my instagram @thishomeschoolerslife.   ) for the party.  They are always a big hit & devoured quickly ;)  I knew I had to get her recipe to bake them with my kiddos  :)  


Pumpkin Scones: 

2 Cups Flour

7 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon Cloves

1/4 teaspoon Ginger

*Mix all the above ingredients & cut in: 6 Tablespoons Cold Butter

* In a new bowl combine: 

1/2 cup Canned Pumpkin

3 Tablespoons half and half

1 large egg

*Combine ingredients into large mixing bowl. 

Form gently into a ball. Pat out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into wedges or rectangles using a pizza cutter/slicer.  Place onto a sprayed/greased cookie sheet or on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper 1-2 inches apart.

*Bake for 14-16 minutes at 425 degrees (15minutes seems to be our perfectly baked golden number ;) ) 

*Remove from oven, carefully move onto cookie rack to cool. 

*Serve with home made Devonshire cream & homemade jam :)  (recipe for Devonshire cream here: https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/easy-homemade-devonshire-cream-recipe.html

The journey that brought me to homeschooling: part II

Hi friends, Today I thought I'd share about our journey to homeschooling with you. I've had a few inquiries on my Instagram account about what got me into homeschooling lately and I'd love to take you on the journey with me while I reminisce :) So lets go back to the beginning, a little over 9 years ago my kiddos and I were living a completely different life. We were barely hanging on by a thread and just trying to survive another day. That's life, living with an abusive alcoholic and meth addict. I am so grateful and beyond thankful to say that my kiddos and I are survivors of domestic violence/abuse and that we are here, thriving and living an incredible life. One that God has brought so much restoration and healing to, we are safe, happy, healthy and loving the life we are privileged to be living. If you or anyone you know happens to be in a horrible situation, living with a violent partner I encourage you to seek help when it's safe for you/them to do so and t...

Scrumptious Snickerdoodle Cake

 Hi there friend, We are celebrating my son's birthday this week & his first request was for this homemade cake to be at his party. The recipe was gifted to me from my Aunt J several years ago after it was an instant hit at a family gathering. My hubby isn't a huge chocolate fan (shocking, I know!😉) so this has become his favorite desert that I make & is quickly becoming one of my kiddos faves and I think it will become one of yours as well. It's a delicious combo of light fluffy cake & creamy homemade frosting with an amazing snickerdoodle flavor.  If you love the taste of a snickerdoodle cookie this cake will delight your tastebuds and if you like baking but don't have a lot of time this is the perfect match on both accounts.  Simple to make & savory to the last bite.  It fits the bill for every birthday, holiday, special family event, is sure to be a crowd pleaser and a hit at any potluck, casual gathering & party. I hope you & your loved ...
