Repurpose your Mason Jars with reCAP

We have an overabundance of mason jars in our home. Fortunately, last year, we were able to fill some of them! It was the first year that we actually had enough extra produce to do some canning! Believe it or not, we still have some cans that have yet to be opened from last season. When they are, I am excited to use my new reCap lids!

It sure can be annoying when you open a can and you have to keep messing with the thin lids and rings every time you want to use it's contents. reCap makes it easy to access your salsa, sauces, pickles, and, well, basically anything you have stored. I received two caps recently, the flip cap and the pour cap pictured above. I am presently using the flip cap to store candy and plan on using the pour cap with our homemade maple syrup.

I even received accessories for the flip cap that can turn your mason jar into a shaker, how fun!

Beginning this week, on September 15th, reCap will be launching a Kickstarter Campagin to raise funding for a child friendly cap called the reCAP EXPLORE. It will fit any Regular-Mouth standard Mason jar or even a plastic peanut butter container. It screws on easily and once a bug is found, your child can flip it open to catch it. They can even view it through a breathable magnifier. No more poking holes in a plastic container!

The campaign will run for a month, so stay tuned as I keep you updated on it's progress!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
