Recently ,we had the opportunity to learn about Felicity Merriman for our American Girl Doll History Class.
.
It was so fun going back in time to Williamsburg, Va and taking a peek inside Colonial living and what it would have been like living in Felicitys time.
.
We jumped right in and started with making our butter and our spiced almonds.
.
The butter took lots and lots of shaking the heavy cream .. then letting it sit and then shaking throughout which gave us two products, A cream to use with our scones and then shaking some more produced the butter.
.
We also worked on coating the almonds in between the butter so we rotated everyone through to have a chance to make the spiced nuts.
.
While the spiced nuts cooked, we sat down to have our tea party . We enjoyed scones with raspberry compote( our version of the raspberry flummery) and the cream from our shaking. We also enjoyed Felicity’s Liberty Tea which is actually red Raspberry leaf tea without any added sweeteners. We also talked about proper tea service and table setting , something Felicity would have learned at her Tea lessons. It’s fun seeing how these simple traditions are carried through time.
.
Below are some helpful links, the recipes, printables , books and activities,I used in class⭐️

We harvested leeks from our garden this weekend and to say I was overjoyed is an understatement! We have tried to grow them before with no results and then this years harvest was amazing!
.
We were able to fill the freezer with chopped leeks to add to one of our favorite soups .. leek and potato.. Yumm!
.
The part of the leek that is generally harvested is the white bulb part, but that left all the leaves and so I wanted to know if I could use those .
.
I was happy to find out they can be used to make stock and there are several recipes where they roasted them. We chose to try adding them to stock.
.
If you have a favorite leek recipe please share in comments ❤️

Even Hagrid is getting ready for fall @universalorlando 🎃
Happy Friday ✨
.
If your at @disneyland this weekend keep your eyes out for this hidden wanted sign .
.
We love finding the hidden treats the @waltdisneyimagineering team leaves throughout the parks. It keeps our family guessing and we keep finding more and more thanks to a group of Disney loving friends who share with us✨
.
What’s your favorite hidden treat or aka Easter Egg in the parks?
It’s that time again to start planning and this year for my home management and family life , I chose the @the_happy_planner @disney planner✨
.
I am loving the layout and the beautiful dividers for the month. Since this planner will be mostly laid open on my counter all day every day, I knew I wanted it to be pretty to look at so I would want to actively use it.
.
Oh and did I mention that it might give off the slightest princess vibe? Ok it TOTALLY gives it off and with so much of this world trying to tell us what we aren’t it is such a sweet reminder that we are Princesses and it reminds me of my identity in Christ and how He sees me.. as a princess! So yes I’ll take that any day💜
We recently learned about Kirsten for our American Girl History class.
.
@americangirlbrand Kirsten series is a wonderful story with historical roots . Her story starts as a family immigrating from Sweden and gives you glimpses of what it was like to be on board a boat headed for America.
.
It was a wonderful read with some hard parts of loss and what is was like in that time era.
.
Our Tea Party was pioneer themed. We had heart shaped cakes , cheese and crackers.
The heart shaped cakes were based on the Little House on the Prairie and the heart shaped cakes that Laura received in her stocking. The pioneers treasured flour and sugar and so it was a fun way to incorporate this treat into the Kirsten Tea Party.
.
While the girls enjoyed their treats and tea, we shared our favorite moments from the books.
.
We then played a fun bingo with vocabulary words on the bingo sheet that were from the books. This was a fun part that really helped reinforce what they had learned and it gave the girls a chance to earn class money to use in the class store.
.
The girls also had the opportunity to learn to sew. They made aprons to match their dolls. This was the perfect craft for this time era since aprons were such a big part of the pioneers and their daily lives.
We then finished up by 🛍 shopping. The girls had the opportunity to use the money they had earned to buy items for their dolls ❤️
.
I am attaching some of the printables and the links we used for this class below. I hope you find it helpful❤️

We purchased the history packet here .It was a wonderful tool! It had the bingo and crosswords and so much more!
