Ok, let’s face it, Smores are a typical part of our American culture for summer fun.  Most every child I know, has had a smore.  When you have little ones, it is a fun treat to make, but watch it when the marshmallow gets all gooey and stuck in hair ,or wiped all over face and hands.  Makes me NOT want to make them.  I usually only do, when I know they are going to go back into their kiddie pool or straight for the bathtub.  Here was some fun time roasting marshmallows last year.

Well what a difference a year makes, we now have 6 little ones that enjoy these treats and they can get messy.  Besides Dad usually has to catch the marshmallows because a child is cooking them and they light on fire.

Well Smores, no more.  We have found that by making campfire cones, they contain the mess and taste 10 times better.  Very simple to make.

When they are all heated up, unwrap and enjoy.  Everyone agrees that these taste the best!!

grammar course for high school for FREE

Over the course of our life, I have purchased numerous homeschool materials from textbooks to workbooks, video series to DVD’s.  After doing a multitude of things, I realized that I don’t particularly care for any certain one.  We usually start out strong on something and then after awhile quickly bore of it.  After spending hundreds of dollars on curriculum, I figured there has to be another way.  Then I realized that the internet is FULL of many FREE resources for you to be able to school your children, you just have to know where to look and find the TIME to do it.  Sometimes those two are hard to come by.
