A few "SWEET" things
What has been keeping me from "THRIVING" posts? Take a look at this sweet little thing...
This is Bridger, he's the newest and definitely the sweetest little addition to our family!
I'm pleased to say that my time away from blogging has not been wasted... First we welcomed little Bridger to our family 12 days over due and...
wait for it....
ON OUR ANNIVERSARY!!
These little boys have truly taken over our life!
But we wouldn't have it any other way!
Since Bridger was born we have thrown 2 birthday parties( Bentley is now 3 and Cody is 9), Celebrated Father's day on the subfloor of the Kitchen in the middle of a total floor renovation of the first level of our home...BY OUR SELVES (note: do not attempt this single handed a mere 3 weeks after baby is born!) along with family visiting, church, school getting out, and the regular stuff life's made of.... :) We are finally getting back on track and getting geared up for life as a family of 6 now!
I also bring with me a Sweet thing for your tummy!
Strawberry Bread
Right now strawberries are often found in abundance at the market or even your backyard and if you find yourself with more than you can eat, try this wonderful recipe from one of my gracious clients. She's a great cook and is also building her food storage and working on delicious recipes that appeal to a busy life and a hungry family!
For those of you who have been building your food storage for years might find yourself wondering what am I going to do with all this wheat and flour. This recipe makes a bread loaf into a delicious and simple treat.
If you haven't tried THRIVE strawberries yet you should. I love having Healthy foods like Strawberries in my food storage, along with bread we often make syrup, add them to oatmeal or cheerios, or grab them on the go for a snack.
THRIVE in the Kitchen is always looking for features of great Pantry's with preparedness in mind along with great recipe's made with THRIVE ingredients. Please e-mail Shelbi if you are interested in being featured! thriveinthekitchen@gmail.com
Teacher Apprciation! Tons of printables!
Our PTA sent home a Flyer for Teacher Appreciation week to give some ideas of what you could do each day to help recognize your teacher as the angel they are.
Here's Our Flyer: Feel free to use it if your school could benefit from it.
It was a generic flyer, but printed well in black and white.
Here is what the boys and I did for Each day...
Monday
 |
| I found this idea here and made my own tags :) |
Easy Idea:
I didn't photograph this, but the boys drew pictures or made designs with Elmer's Glue, and then sprinkled them with Glitter. We let this dry over night and I mounted it on colored card stock and put it in an envelope... anything with glitter on it is awesome, the kids loved it, and it will stand out as something that the kids took time to make :)
It was accompanied with this awesome cup of cookie dippers, that I had pinned on pinterest. We made our Cookies in logs approximately the size of the cup and drizzled chocolate over the top of them. Our PTA supplied a Latte Cart ( with decaf and Italian sodas available as well...) to the whole staff on Monday to kick off teacher appreciation week...so this cup and contents were very appropriate :)
My favorite part of this gift: The cheesy line: "With you as my teacher...I'll be a smart cookie!" I love it! I have the tags I used available here for download! Makes 4 sets of tags.
Tuesday
Being super prego... I whipped up the tag for this last minute and didn't get any photos....Just not enough energy :( sorry!
But attaching a cute quote to a Kabob Skewer and inserting it into a potted plant is a great way to make an inexpensive gift. I got awesome pots at a yard sale($1), (but I saw some cute ones at the dollar store too...) we divided up a bedding pack of plants so it was $1.45 for 4 plants and that worked perfect as we have 4 teachers to give to!
Wednesday
"be kind and be truthful
and your life will be fruitful."
Cody choose this out of several that I thought would have a good place in the Classroom!
It just happened ;) to go so very well with the theme which was a piece of fruit.
For all of my THRIVEing parents out there, a pantry can of fruit is a great healthy snack for teachers to have around and available with their busy schedules!
Thursday
 |
| My favorite :) |
I loved this one! It was my favorite! I have the tag download available here. I attached a small bag of Chocolate covered raisins, not to be confused with dirt... ( why those... because I love them and they are brown like dirt...but try c-covered almonds, nuts,bears or Brownie Mix with a recipe... anything.)
I also had my little one (3rd grade) write a note to attach about why he likes his teacher specifically.
If you want to print out 4 of these here is a file all ready to go.

Friday
"It's so refreshing having a great teacher like you!"
I made this with 2 options and Cody choose the big circle tag. It's available to you either way.
We filled it with sugar free strawberry lemonade packets that you add to water that will be handy anytime.
I divided up a 100 package of Blank notes (check Ross or Marshells for great stationary at great prices) and gave them to all of the Boy's teachers including church, preschool and elementary. It was a fast easy gift and it was less than $1 per teacher, but very cute.
I attached another thank you note to many.
It's included in the Sheet of Tags below.
The sheet below is handy especially if you just have 1 or 2 children to give for. 1 sheet will supply a whole week +1 of tags for your child's teacher. I print at Costco Print and Copy and it's .25 a Color Copy.
If you want a weeks worth of teacher appreciation tags on one sheet click here.
Have a great week! Here's to being prepared today!

Free Printable Download ♦♦ Teaching Your Children
Setting the table will be much easier when kids can be self learners. Your table can be organized and functioning with this little guide. My boys always ask "what do we need for dinner" as the set the table, as if today we were going to use BBQ tongs and toothpicks
to eat our chicken and potatoes, as opposed to forks and spoons, and
lap up our milk right off the table (Which I'm sure they wouldn't mind
if given the chance! We are 100% boy at this house).
This little reminder has helped them to set the table without tossing the fork about and set each place looking nice and neat. Nobody sits down missing a fork, and cups aren't forgotten about till the last minute...maybe I'm the only one with lazy table setters, but if not I hope this helps!
The back of this handy place mat is a great thing for your children to study at breakfast or anytime. It's important for our children to know why we eat all the different foods we do, and what benefit they are to our bodies. It's also important for us to remember as we are storing food, that a well rounded diet is essential to our health and our children's development.
Enjoy talking about Health, foods, and preparedness with your children. Everything is made easier when our whole families are organized and on the same page.
Start at the dinner table this week, and Set the table today, Learn for tomorrow and get prepared for an emergency...Get the whole family on board!
Printing:
Using my local printer it was .20 for black and white 11X17 prints.
Using Costco they did full color for .69 for 11x17 prints.
I laminated them inexpensively with Contact paper, and it took me and my man about 15 minutes to double side cover 5 in contact paper.
Select your color option and download the appropriate files and send them to your printer!
Enjoy!

Lovely Cinnamon Rolls
So I posted the Idea I got off of pinterest for the Love heart cinnamon rolls.
What I didn't share how ever was the delicious recipe to go with them.
Not all Cinnamon rolls are created equally, and I don't think they are a "no fail" type recipe.
But a good recipe, correct amount of time to rise (2X) and a little attention to detail will make great rolls, that are worth the wait!
I'm sharing a Family Recipe with you.
My mother used to be hired to make these by the dozens and she'd wake at 4AM to get them started.
She gave me the recipe and I hope you can find some time to share the Love with your family!
Here they are :) Enjoy!
Pinterest Love
Pinterest is awesome!
I love seeing all the ideas, I think of it as the best of the best.
But mostly I like knowing where I got an idea, so If I need to go back to the website and figure it out I can! I'm sure the majority of you feel the same way. Here are some of my February must do's...and they were all done :) By Feb 1st :) I love that people started pinning Valentines Ideas in December so I could get my brain together...
I don't really have a place for 12 wreaths at my house so this one will double as a Valentine's wreath & a 4th of July wreath ( Take the bow out add a huge Blue bow with white stars).
I love taking an idea and making it much more cost effective and time effective. When I saw this I saw 2 variations, one woman had cut circles, and another stars out of felt. Both had used a styrofoam wreath, circle and Heart. I used a wicker circle from the dollar store, and about 3/4 yards of felt cut in to strips then into rectangles-- so much faster!! So I saves Loads of time! And probably at least 10+ dollars. Since my whole project was under $4-$5.
These rolls were a huge crowd pleaser!
"I can't believe I didn't think of this before"
Isn't that what you find yourself saying when you browse boards on pinterest?
I made them on the day of a huge snow/Ice storm here in Seattle. everyone was basically trapped at home, no school, and most didn't go to work. So It was a fun surprise for neighbors to get hot "lovely" cinnamon rolls.
The "Love" letters I made a few years ago, but the heart garland I saw for the first time on pinterest and I loved it! It was so easy to make and I ended up making it for a couple places in the house and as gifts for a few friends.
With so many Ideas out there I'm glad that there is a place to share the ideas!
I started a pinterest board for
Food storage ideas, Recipes and Emergency Preparedness.
I know it may not look as fun heart garland, but your family with thank you for it!
Follow me on pinterest and we can share these Ideas plus many more to bless your home :)
