We’ve been school shopping all week long. You probably have too. Have you noticed that some of the items on your kids school lists they may not be using at all? We have coloring pencils in our list and unless your kids are in an art class they may not be using them at all. One of our girls will be using them and then some. She loves art and enrolled in an art class. What’s on your school list that you may not be getting, or at least not yet?

One thing I know for sure is that this berries vanilla pies are on your list and you must give the recipe a try. It’s super easy to make and perfect topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
