Easy Orange Creamsicle Cookies

Do you enjoy orange creamsicle popsicles as much as my family does? These cookies taste just like them, and they are a huge hit with the kids!

My family made our own EASY recipe-

Sugar cookie dough
1/3 bag of white morsels
3-4 tablespoons of Tang orange-flavored drink

Mix well and bake at 350 for 12 minutes. That's it!

These are perfect for Halloween, Fall parties, and even my UT friends in Knoxville. Yummy!

Journal Jar

This photograph and activity is provided by Organized Christmas.

I recently found a creative way to introduce children to writing- journal jars!

A jar is filled with simple, kid-friendly questions that turn journaling sessions into FUN! CLICK HERE to print off the colorful writing prompts. Next, cut, fold, and place them in a jar. Have your child pick a prompt each day. He can tape it on top of a page in a blank book and write his answer. He can even add illustrations.

I plan on using this writing activity during the summer months. Happy writing!
