D.O.T.S.- Depend on the Savior

My church  has a group for the teenage girls (called Young Women's) and every summer they go to camp! It is so much fun- I have lots of great memories of my years at Girl's Camp. 

I had a request to create a handout containing the "Footprints in the Sand" using DOTS as that is their theme this year :

D.O.T.S.- Depend on the Savior

- isn't that great?? 

I love it!!

There are steps the girls can follow:

D- daily prayer
O- obedience
T- thoughts/ journaling
S- scripture study

Isn't it just tooo much fun????

SO I created a bookmark:


 (sized for a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper)


and buttons!! 
These are sized for 1 1/2 inch buttons

you can download them in the main theme

or in the actions

Hope you enjoy them too!!! I just thought this was so cute and clever!

What are your favorite girl's camp memories?

Monkey Bread


One of my favorite childhood memories is making and eating Monkey Bread with my mom!! 

Now I have actually heard this called different things but Monkey Bread is by far the funnest:)

It is so simple, so yummy, and a great treat to make with your kids!!

Ingredients:
3 tubes refrigerator biscuits (I use the cheap ones- they work great)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cube butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

You will also need a Bundt pan to bake this in:)

1. cut  the biscuits into fourths


Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Dump in biscuits and let your adorable helper do the coating!

 Little fingers are prefect for this job


Place in bundt pan
 Also a great job for your little helper:)
Dump extra cinnamon and sugar on top- we need a ll the sugar right!! 


Next get your butter and brown sugar in a bowl ( I re-use my cinnamon and sugar bowl)

 Melt the butter- okay you could probably melt the butter before adding the brown sugar...

Mix them together to look like this:

 Pour evenly over the cinnamon-sugar coated biscuits

 Hmm doesn't that look good?? 
Add your walnuts if you want them
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes

 Let cool for 5 min. then invert on pan or plate

 Try your best to not burn yourself as you try the first bite
Then decide why not and go for it:)


hmmmm hmmm good:)

Easy, fast and good- the best combination!!

Enjoy!!
