L is for . . . Leftover Turkey Casserole and Lavaca, AR

My good friend Marcy Crabtree @ BenandMe  hosts a weekly Blogging through the Alphabet series that we enjoy participating in each week. I am hosting for her this week as she visits her family in Lavaca, AR for the holiday.

 Check out her post " L is for Lavaca" here if you want to leave her a Happy Thanksgiving message! She'll be back soon with her reviews, App schooling tips, and helpful homeschool advice.

 If you don't know Marcy, you're gonna love her. She's  "down to earth" good people - I've had the privilege of knowing IRL for several years. She reached out to me, a stranger, when I was homeschooling alone in a different state. I needed help and information to get my boys on track while we worked our way through a tough year for our family. Her kindness and wisdom meant more than she knew. She has a heart for the Lord and a love for others. I'm fortunate to call her friend. 

At our house - L if for . . . Leftover Turkey Casserole 




If you have a ton of turkey leftover - or even just a cup or two - you can turn it into this cheesy 
deliciousness.  I don't know about you, but I can hardly look at another slice of turkey - but this is 
a whole other animal (or so to speak). 

Get the full recipe here - feel free to link up your own recipe posts - new link up starts tomorrow and repeats  every Tuesday with our Kids in the Kitchen link up. Older posts are fine - no kids required in post pictures- just good family recipes which encourage the family to get back to the table together.

Blogging through the alphabet - K is for . . . .

If you've been following along with our weekly wrap - up posts, you probably have noticed that I've been centering our general homeschool week around a special letter of the alphabet. As much as I'd love to take credit for that idea - the inspiration came from my friend Marcy at Ben and Me .

I've found it a great way to help organize our studies and also to help my youngest with his letters. 

I love to piece together our studies using various bits of fabulous curriculum we've collected and this helps me to zone in on particular countries, meals, people and more - all beginning with the letter of the week. This week - we packed up the kids and headed for the great outdoors on a camping trip. We generally count our nature adventures as homeschool field trips! 

Marcy may be blogging through the alphabet - but we are homeschooling through it - all thanks to her and her too cool idea. Thank you Marcy! I'm happy to host the link up for you - this week and next . . . . .

We visited this lovely spot on our nature walk last week while camping in middle Georgia. 

We love spending time in the great outdoors. We visited the Aviation Museum and the Arts and Science Center where we enjoyed a walk on their nature trail. 

We love time spent around the campfire and in the woods together and we got to see the changing leaves! 

They were Kolorful  (just can't help myself) 

 K is also for kind friends - like Marcy!
