Whole Wheat snickerdoodles...

Last Friday, we decided to try to make some Whole Wheat Snicker doodles. I have always loved Snicker doodles, what's not to love??? Papa Bear and a few of the A's have always hated them, so I received mixed reviews when I suggested we make them! Papa Bear came home from work that night, and I showed him the cookies, and said do you like Snicker doodles? Papa Bear's response, No not really, but I like Peanut Butter Cookies!! {I believe there was a HINT HINT added there!!} Well he broke down, and started craving something sweet and yummy!!! He ate one and said, WOW those are pretty good. He ate another and said, Yeah those are good!!! {Okay maybe not his exact words, but it was close!!}
So here's the recipe I used, I found it on All Recipes. It's called
Here's the original recipe. I will add the changes I made to them after the recipe.
Original Recipe Yield 5 dozen

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 egg white
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter or margarine until fluffy. Add egg and egg white; beat well. Stir together flours, soda, and salt; beat into creamed mixture.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll in cinnamon sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Cookies will puff up and flatten as they bake. Cool on wire racks.
My Variations:
I used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, and Spelt Flour... absolutely no white flour. I have always wondered why people {and companies} insist on titling recipes whole wheat when they are not!??!
I used Pure Cane Sugar
I also added some vanilla
And I added 1/2 t Cream of Tartar. I read this in the reviews section.
These were very yummy!! The little A's especially enjoyed rolling them in the sugar and cinnamon. Of course when they were finished they also enjoyed licking their fingers!!
ENJOY!!

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

Our Morning Devotional..hopefully with more clarity!

I received a comment/question about our devotional time, Tracy would like me to give more details about our devotional time. {WARNING~ this post has become extremely LONG!!!} First off before I start into all that I'd just like to say I am so glad Tracy decided to comment, and especially with a question!! The main and only reason I blog is to inspire others, help others, and well sometimes it's as close as I get to adult conversation! I noticed that as of right now {as I right this} I have had 787 visitors to my blog... and only 2 people who have commented! The other one is my O' So kind SIL!! Please feel free to comment...because as it says on the Right Sidebar...I LOVE Comments!!! I also want to clarify and answer any questions that I might have stirred in your heads with my thoughts!!! So on with the Question.... We have ALWAYS had devotional time... it's changed and grown with our family. It's what we, Papa Bear and I see as the things our children need. Just be...

I am JUMPING OFF THE SHIP!!! So to speak...

What does that mean!??! What ship are you jumping from? Where are you jumping to? How are you planning on jumping?? Well let me tell you.... I am jumping into the great deep, dark and "unknown" world, I am planning on jumping Titanic style, Spread Eagle that is!!! No seriously folks, I have decided that for our upcoming curriculum, we are going to jump into the area of {dare I even say it??} Traditional Christian TEXTBOOKS!!!! {I can hear you all moan, and groan and say OH NO!!!!} Yes TEXTBOOK, tends to be a "bad" word in the homeschool world. It's one of those 3-letter words, okay so it's actually an Eight-letter word. I am not sure why TEXTBOOKS have such a bad name to homeschoolers. Actually I do, it has to do with the dumbing down of America. It has to do with short tidbits of information crammed into a lesson, bits and pieces of history... never knowing the whole thing. HOWEVER, you must also admit, that there are NOW so many choices in TEXTBO...
