Hip Homeschool Moms. A Vibrant Community for Homeschooling Families.
Are you looking for an easy breakfast or snack for your family? We moms are busy folks, and sometimes we just need to have something on hand for mornings when we’re headed out the door to play dates, co-op, sports, lessons, or other commitments! These muffins are perfect for making the day before and having…
Are you trying to eat whole foods or just eat healthier foods with natural ingredients and less sugar, dairy, and wheat? If so, make your own granola! You can eat it as a snack just like it is, or you can put it in a bowl with a little almond milk or coconut milk and eat it…
Since it’s the holidays, you probably have a party to attend or pot-luck dinner at your church. Or you may just be going to visit a friend or take a treat to a friend or relative. But if you prefer to eat “real food” instead of processed foods, it can be hard to decide what…
With dairy-free, sugar-free options required more and more these days, it can be difficult to find desserts that replace the deliciousness of the dairy and sugar-filled versions. Recently, a friend shared her version of this one for chocolate ice cream, and it’s been a WINNER! It’s simple, not too expensive, and simply delicious. It can…
It’s my favorite time of the year. FALL! I love everything about it – a new school year starting (we homeschool year round, but start fresh again every fall) which means new beginnings and back to routine, the cooler weather, the bold colors in nature, apple picking, hay rides, corn mazes, and yes, even football!…
Since the coming month is the month of chocolate, love, and roses, I thought it would be great to share a delicious homemade chocolate recipe…with rose petals! Nothing spells love like homemade, and it’s even better when you can combine love, chocolate, and herbs together! Who doesn’t love chocolate? To most of us it…

I have to admit it. I am completely addicted to salsa. I cannot get enough of it. I love to put it on my eggs in the morning. Eat it as a snack in the afternoon with some pita chips. It goes so great on our favorite Mexican dish, or even as a healthy alternative…
Can I just say that I can’t believe how popular s’mores are? We were just at the grocery store and I noticed how every product has a “s’more” flavor. No kidding! Pancakes, cereal, granola bars, ice cream, snack mix, Oreo cookies, and more! Did you also know that Monday, August 10th is National S’more Day?…
I went through this phase where I added coconut to everything. I confess I love coconut -and chocolate. One of my all-time favorite coconut creations is my Chocolate Coconut Muffin Recipe. It’s actually a pretty healthy recipe too, when using good ingredients! For something kind of fun, here’s a puppy chow recipe which was a really…
Summer is almost here, and that means many families will be taking time off from homeschooling to enjoy lazy days, vacations, swimming, trips to the beach or the zoo, and lots of other fun summertime activities. At my house, my teens seem to always be hungry! During the summer, though, it seems that they are…
A while back, I came up with a yummy and very easy recipe for lunch or a snack for the kids. It’s not exactly health food, so I probably wouldn’t serve these often. They are, however, a fast idea for a busy day or a fun treat for a play date. All you need is…
