2025-2026 Homeschool Curriculum: Montessori Integration

I know I posted our 2025-2026 Curriculum and plans earlier but I’ve recently gotten a Montessori program for our youngest, Shyanne, who has special needs. She really seems to thrive with this approach and we all really LOVE it. We still love our CHARLOTTE MASON and this seems to fit in well with it.

Everyone’s Favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

This may not be one of the easiest recipes on my blog but they sure are delicious! My oldest son requests these every time he comes home so we really try to make them happen. They are a favorite ‘go-to’ for special days and we recently had them for breakfast before the latest baby shower. We also had them for breakfast before the wedding last year.

Forgive the cover photo as I used leftover icing to ice these with… I’ll try to get a better photo the next time I make them 🙂

Everyone’s Favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

This is a multi-step process and need a little preparation but they are so worth all the extra effort! These can make any day a special day and we often have them on the mornings of special holidays or events.

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 5 c.  Flour (If using self-rising flour you can omit the next 3 ingredients)
  • 2 c. shortening or butter
  • 2/3 c. sourdough discard
  • 1 1/2 – 2 c. Buttermilk (you can use regular milk and add 1 T. Vinegar)
  • 1 ½  t. salt
  • 2 T. honey (optional)

You can wait and add these right before baking but I usually add them while I make everything else… adding it later will help them to be extra fluffy!
