Printable Labels for Easy Homemade Food Gifts

-

The last few years, I've had months of Christmas posts (see them all here).  This year, I only have a few contributions; although, it's still several weeks until Thanksgiving so we'll see what happens when we get closer to Christmas.  I put together this post last year after Christmas and have been sitting on it to finally share with you today.

After putting together the Quick and Easy Food Gifts with Printables blog post a few years ago, I had to make another one this year!  The first article focused on store-bought foods to which you can easily add a printable (and sometimes punny) label.  Today's post is about easy homemade food gifts you can assemble for friends, families, and acquaintances.  As a bonus, all of them fit in a quart-size mason jar!



- Pumpkin Butter from Minimalist Baker in a Mason Jar with an Adorable Chalk Label from Lily and Val.  Great for new moms as pumpkin can help increase milk production, especially when paired with oatmeal.

- Nativity Story Trail Mix from A Hundred Affections.  Teach someone else the story of Christmas with this interesting snack mix.

- Mason Jar Recipe Card from I Should be Mopping.  Free printable to place with any recipe on our arsenal.

- Snowman Hot Chocolate from Skip to My Lou.  I absolutely love the adorable marshmallows, which make this hot cocoa mix extra special.

- White Christmas Cookie Mix and Printable from Sassa by Parties.  Perfect for the long winter nights after Christmas when you still want a sweet treat.

- M&M Christmas Cookie Mix from Chelsea's Messy Apron. This classic mix uses classic chocolate candies to put together a sweet treat.

- Peppermint Scrub from Moms 4 Real.  An allergy-friendly alternative to food gifts and good for energizing thoughts.

- Shake and Pour Pancake Mix from A Few Shortcuts.  Pair with a book like If You Give a Pig a Pancake for some fun family gift.

- Simmering Spices from The Cottage Market.  Put together a packet of spices to make someone's house smell like a Christmas home.

When I rebranded this blog from "In Our Pond" to "Homeschooling My Kinetic Kids" this year, I wanted to add more content for high-energy kids.  Some moms and I were talking this morning about dealing with stir-crazy kids in these winter months.  After I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for the FB group, I decided the list would make a great blog post!  I try not to do things the easy way in my blog, so I made a list of 100 activities. 1- breath holding contest to practice for summer swimming 2- cartwheels 3- make a balance board with a board and a can 4- stretch with exercise bands 5- wheelbarrow races down the hallway 6- put on a circus or play 7- paint a picture with your feet 8- handstand contest 9- pretend to be an animal 10- make a ring toss game with paper plates 11- 52 card pick-up 12- push an ice cube with your nose across the kitchen floor 13- play concentration ( instructions ) 14- wresting 15- speed cleaning contest 16- relay races 17- skipping 18- kitchen f

Homeschooling with Laura Ingall's Wilder and the Little House series

-

The kids and I started reading "Little House in the Big Woods" last week for the first time.  They're really enjoying hearing about life in the "old days" and all the ways that things were done differently 150 years ago.  It's been a very special time, too, because we all pile on the parents' bed for reading time and have some quiet time as part of our day.  It's been a great way to reconnect with them. Many of these ideas came from my own reading of the series; however, where possible, I've added links to give you more information about them.  Many of them can be done without extra supplies and don't involve other people, so their perfect for living "self isolated" like a pioneer. 1- Preserve Meat In my search, I found a blog and podcast called "Pioneering Today."  She has a post about salting, fermenting, and other ways to preserve meat.  The very first chapter of "The Little House in the Big Woods"
