BFS Assignment #7

Posted in Blogger Friend School

First before I do my assignment...Thank you, Tamara,  for hosting BFS!  It is so fun and creative!  I enjoy reading everyone's assignments and getting to know other homeschool mom's is always such an encouragement to me!  I'm keeping you and all the families in CA in my prayers as you all return and get life back to "normal".

Since I love to bake and cook...guess what I'm going to post?   I got this recipes from Allrecipes.com  I haven't tried it yet...but I plan too very soon...for more pumpkin recipes...go to BFS pumpkin recipes...I have a yummy pumpkin Cheese cake recipe over there, as well as a pumpkin ribbon cake...

Thanks for all the great recipes. I like your blog. Our family loves to travel as well, although we have not seen as much as you yet. Isn't traveling with family so much fun? I am hoping to make it out to Walnut Grove, MN this year since we are studying the Prairie Primer which is a study through the Little House on the prairie book series.
