Easy Cinnamon Roll Recipes for Every Occasion

Published on September 26, 2025September 23, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

Did you know that October 4th is Cinnamon Roll Day? Well, they are pretty good, so I can see why they have their own day, but we don’t need a special day to eat them around here. We do have them requested pretty often for special days though as my older kids don’t get to have them as often as the ones who still live at home.

Here are our favorite Cinnamon Roll Recipes:

Sourdough Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Everyone’s Favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls – NO SOURDOUGH NEEDED

My Kids Surprised Me With Their Knife Skills!

I used to think letting my kids near sharp knives was a recipe for disaster. Turns out, it’s the exact opposite.

When kids learn real knife skills, they actually become safer in the kitchen. They gain confidence, take ownership of meals, and (bonus!) start helping with dinner instead of just asking when it’s ready.

That’s exactly what this free knife skills class for kids delivers: practical instruction, real safety techniques, and fun activities that make kids excited to cook. My kids surprised me and so will yours!

Special Holiday Meals: A Hobbit Inspired Menu w/printable menu

Published on September 18, 2025September 28, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog5 Comments

My family loves the Hobbit books and movies, so when I saw that there was an actual ‘Hobbit Day’ on September 22nd, I had to make a note of it on our Fall Perpetual Meal Plan. Last year, we were in the middle of wedding prep, followed by hurricane prep, so it kind of got forgotten about. This year, my kiddos have not let me forget!

We worked together to make a menu so that we can celebrate… we might even watch the movies, if we can! We might also enjoy our Elevenses outdoors under our garden arches… so many ideas. Our kids love reading and we love to encourage them so this is a cute way to keep that spark ALIVE!

2025-2026 Homeschool Curriculum: Montessori Integration

Published on August 28, 2025August 28, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

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.
