This weekend was spent camping at a Christian Karate camp that my 3 oldest children were attending.  I’ve not had a lot of time and energy to spend crafting a new blog post, but I thought I’d share some little tidbits of our weekend. We brought our pop up along while most of the other “campers” were tent camping.  On Saturday morning, we were impressed to see somewhere between 30

10 Reasons my Children Don’t mind being Unsocialized….er uh…. homeschooled! I know that I have both homeschoolers and nonhomeschoolers who read my blog.  If you’re a homeschooler, you know that “What about socialization?” is a very common question that we get.  If you’re a nonhomeschooler, you may actually be wondering about socialization.  It’s a valid question, with a very lengthy answer that I won’t get into too much right now,

A couple of years ago, began our journey with orthodontics.  I was told that my son (12 years old at the time) needed an oral surgeon to remove an impacted tooth (which means it was stuck under his gums…because another tooth was blocking it’s way up).  We got to the oral surgeon and he said he wasn’t going to remove the tooth because it would shift the teeth around too

  This post is in honor of my dear father-in-law, who is always in shock that  I could live life without purchasing paper towels.  I’m sure there are some of you that are reading who feel the same way.  Let me tell you a little story. When I was growing up, we always had paper towels, but I wasn’t allowed to use them as much as I thought I should.

I was a brave soul.  I found a recipe for this Cheesy Chicken Pasta.  I’d never eaten it before, but it sounded so good, I decided to make it for a friend who had just had her baby.  I made a double batch.  One for her family and one for ours.  I’m just hoping her family liked it, because everyone but one person in our family LOVED it.  The one

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

  • rayzn2angelsfrom Freezer to Slow Cooker Series

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
