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:

Excellent & affordable math program for kiddos: A+ Interactive Math

Hi friends, I want to tell you about this great math program I've discovered that's beneficial for both homeschool & public school students alike. If you have a kidddo that is struggling a bit in math, perhaps they have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the subject, struggle to grasp math concepts, finds some topics confusing or just plain out "doesn't like math", I think this program could be a perfect fit for them. With A+ interactive math your kiddos have access to the math help they need & you have the key to a wonderful resource that will help you both achieve your math goals and give you some peace of mind knowing your kiddos are getting assistance that will help them thrive in math. They provide a multi sensory, all encompassing program that easily caters to children of all learning abilities & those with special needs as well by incorporating multiple learning styles. The owner/creator, Vinod spent years researching the best methods f...
