A Fun Stocking Stuffer Idea: reCAP Mason Jar Lids

Mason Jars. If you have one, you have dozens. Whether you can produce, meat or jellies, they are a neccesity to have on hand. But, once the goodness that you spent hours canning has been consumed, you are left with shelves upon shelves, or boxes upon boxes full of unused jars.

At this point, you can choose to leave them in your basement for the next over-abundance of harvested goods or, you can get creative! reCAP can help! They provide a variety of different lids that can fit perfectly on your wide mouth or regular sized mason jars.

In our home, we have both the flip lid and the pour top. You can read my review here. My daughter used the flip lid cap for a few weeks when she had it filled with her favorite candy. It helped prevent the candy from spilling everywhere and provided easy access to her special treats!

The pour top lid is great for sauces, dips and drinks.

Usually when I can something, I try to fit what I need for a single serving in one jar. But that is not always the case. If I have a salsa, for example, I am not going to use it all in one sitting. Having a plastic lid that doesn't get old and rusty like the metal ones is useful and easier to get on and off! I also like the variety of colors which can help you organize, visually what you have in your cupboard. And, for the fun of it, they even have a glow in the dark lid!

These lids make perfect stocking stuffers. The packaging is attractive which makes it seem like the perfect gift.

This would also be a perfect gift for a grab-bag type Christmas party. Everyone would be fighting over this gift, for sure!

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...
