Strawberry Pudding Poke Cake

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog7 Comments

I haven’t made this in a while and although I was pretty sure of the ingredients I dug the recipe out of my old recipe box. Nothing says summer like this fresh cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream!

This is so much better than strawberry shortcake in my opinion. I would love to have this set of bowls to serve it in. This is always a hit when I take it to get-togethers.

You can see this post HERE about the last time the kids help make this dessert. Continue reading “Strawberry Pudding Poke Cake” →

Easy to Make Fall Acorn Craft

Homeschool: Acorn Crafts

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

What a better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with some fun crafts? This week we are doing some different Fall themed crafts so I’ll try to take some pictures and post them so you can use them in your home as well. Most kids love art projects and my kids love ones that involve scissors and glue. (They love glitter too but I’m not that brave today…lol.)

This idea would really work for just about any shape you like for any season… just find or draw your shape and let the kids decorate with torn paper, paint, buttons, beads, or things they might find on a nature hunt. Just have fun with it!

Pigs in a Blanket

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog5 Comments

This recipe is as old as I can remember. You can also use canned biscuits in place of the crescent rolls. This is a recipe the kids love to help with!

The minis are perfect for appetizers or snacks… I have to keep an eye on them when I am making them as they tend to disappear as soon as they hit the serving tray! Continue reading “Pigs in a Blanket” →
