What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza?

• 2 cans of crescent rolls
• 1 pound of sausage
• shredded cheddar cheese
• 6-8 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pack of country gravy mix
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

My Favorite items to use for this breakfast pizza are:

• McCormick Sausage Flavor Country Gravy packet-I normally make sausage gravy from scratch. However, for this recipe it is important to have the right amount and consistency of gravy for your pizza. This McCormick mix makes the perfect amount for this pizza and the flavors in the mix taste amazing! Plus, for busy mornings, this saves you so much time by already being prepared for you!
• Fresh, local sausage-We get our sausage ground up by local meat departments or butchers, so we know what is going into the sausage (meat and seasonings, not a bunch of added preservatives and unnecessary ingredients). Trust me, it tastes way different than what you can buy at a grocery store.

What are the Steps to Making Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza?

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray your pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place the crescent roll triangles onto the pizza pan. Press down with your hands to join the seams and make sure the entire pizza pan is covered.

3. Bake crescent roll pizza crust for 9-11 minutes or until crescent rolls start turning golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, mix together the eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spray your skillet with non-stick cooking spray or butter and add the egg mixture to it. Cook on medium, stirring often until eggs are set to make scrambled eggs. Once done, sit these off to the side while you prepare the sausage gravy.

5. Add the sausage to a skillet and cook until no longer pink and sausage is cooked thoroughly. Add the country gravy packet directly to the sausage and mix well.

6. Pour the milk over the sausage and stir until mixed well. Cook on medium until the milk starts to thicken and has reached the desired gravy consistency.
7. Pour the gravy onto the crescent roll pizza crust. Spread out to make an even layer. Add the scrambled eggs to the top of the gravy.

8. Add 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, depending on how cheesy you want it to be.

9. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted through.
10. Cut into slices and enjoy!

What Should I Make to go Along with this Pizza?

This quick and easy Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza has all you could want in a homemade, soul-warming breakfast! It already has bread (crust), sausage gravy, eggs and cheese all mixed together. My family loves to pair this crescent roll breakfast pizza with a big glass of chocolate milk for the perfect breakfast! Trust me, after eating a slice or two of this pizza, your stomach will be so full and content that you will regret ever thinking of making something to go along with it!

Blackwater Falls State Park is located in the beautiful mountains of Davis, WV. Our family has been to Blackwater Falls dozens of times throughout the years, with our most recent visit being just last week. Before traveling someplace new, I always do my research to find kid-friendly activities, family-friendly dining, and read tips from other parents to make our trips easier.

I have compiled some information and tips to help you make the most of your visit to Blackwater Falls State Park with your kids. Keep reading to find out why it is one of the most visited state parks in West Virginia.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. All recommended products and services are based on my positive experience with them. Please read full disclosure for more information.

What to Know About Viewing the Falls

The main attraction of the state park is the magnificent Blackwater Falls. The waterfall is 57 feet tall and really is a beautiful sight to see! The water is an amber color due to the tannic acid from the fallen red spruce and hemlock needles. There are multiple ways to view the falls depending on your preference. You can see them from a distant, scenic view or experience an up close and personal view that is breathtaking.

The main trail to see the Blackwater Falls is the Blackwater Falls Boardwalk Trail. The trailhead starts in the parking area of the Trading Post and takes you to a viewing platform that offers great views of the falls. The trail is about 0.25 miles in length and has a lot of steps. There are multiple viewing platforms along the way and several areas to stop to take a rest and appreciate the views. It is not handicap or stroller accessible. The steps were great for my 6-year-old, but I had to carry our 2-year-old most of the way. If you have young kids, I definitely recommend a baby carrier to make it easier. There are some huge rocks along the trail that my daughters loved to climb on and made for a nice break along the way. The Boardwalk Trail is also where you will find the Blackwater Falls Almost Heaven Swing (see below for more information on these).

If you are not up to walking up and down a lot of steps, I would recommend taking the Gentle Trail. This is a short, paved trail that leads to a viewing deck overlooking the falls from a distance.

Activities for Kids at Blackwater Falls

Sled Run

Blackwater Falls State Park is home to the longest and fastest Sled Run on the east coast! Imagine sledding down a huge hill, racing against your friends and family and listening to the laughter of your kids while having a blast in the snow. The best part is you don’t have to drag your sled to the top of the hill each time. You hop on your sled at the bottom of the hill and ride a conveyor belt all the way to the top. There you go just around the corner and the fun begins! Our family had such a fun time doing this and we can’t wait to go back this year! The sled run is open December-February, weather dependent. I recommend booking your tickets online ahead of time to ensure you get the time slot you want. Each year, you can find the exact opening and closing dates of the sled run on the park’s website.

Nature Center

Blackwater Falls State Park is home to its very own nature center. The Harold Walters Nature Center offers free to low-cost programs and activities for both kids and adults. Their educational programs are meant to teach guests of the park more about nature, animals, and the world around them. Some examples of their programs are group hikes, crafts, movie time, bird identification, and programs based on animals that call Blackwater Falls State Park their home. You can check their website ahead of time for a list of scheduled activities if interested. Our family loves to incorporate travel into our homeschool curriculum and we plan on participating in some of the programs at the nature center as part of science for our daughter this year.

Enjoying the Great Outdoors

If you’ve been a parent longer than a few minutes, you know that kids love to explore! There are so many places for both young kids and teenagers to explore at Blackwater Falls. With over 20 trails to choose from, hiking is a great option for kids to explore. We always make frequent stops along the way on our hikes when the kids find something interesting, they want to check out. Sometimes the journey of the hike is just as fun for the kids as the end result or location.

If hiking isn’t in the cards for your family, there are plenty of flat, open areas for your kids to explore. As parents, sometimes we think we have to fill our schedules with fun filled activities all day long to keep our kids occupied. Children learn by playing and exploring the world around them. What a better place to learn than a state park filled with grass, rocks, leaves, trees, streams and waterfalls?

What Season is Best for Visiting Blackwater Falls?

Any season is a good time to visit Blackwater Falls. You can walk down the trail to the Falls year-round, weather permitting. To help you decide when to visit, we will highlight the main attractions and our best tips for each season.

Summer

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, you can swim at Pendleton Lake located in Blackwater Falls State Park. Looking for more summer water activities? You can rent kayaks, canoes and paddleboards for fun on the water. If you prefer a laidback lake activity, you can go fishing at the lake for trout, bass, catfish, and bluegill. There is plenty to do during the summer months and this makes for a great family vacation.

Fall

If you have never been to West Virginia in the fall, drop what you are doing and schedule your visit now! The fall foliage is beautiful, and you will see why West Virginia is referred to as Almost Heaven. Fall is a great time to explore the trails and nature. Especially if you don’t do well in the higher temperatures and humidity of summer.

Winter

If you are looking for adventure in the snow, Blackwater Falls has several options. They have over 10 miles of cross-country ski trails. Rent a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis and hit the snow-covered trails for an awesome adventure and some great pictures.

The Blackwater Falls sled run is another great activity for everyone to participate in during the winter. See Sled Run above for more information.

We have been to Blackwater Falls many times in the winter and the Falls are beautiful with the snow and ice on the trees and rocks, highlighting the water. However, the temperatures are cooler on the main trail leading to the falls and most of the trail is shaded. The steps and rocks can become very slippery in icy conditions. I would recommend checking before taking small children down the main trail in the winter.

Spring

The spring weather is perfect for a visit to Blackwater Falls. Beat the heat and go before the hot temperatures of summer arrive. Spring is a great time to visit with kids and lots of local schools visit during the spring months for field trips.

Where to Stay Overnight

There are so many activities to do at Blackwater Falls State Park, that you might want to consider staying for a few days to make the most of your visit. There are several options for accommodations, both at the State Park and off-site.

The lodge at Blackwater Falls consists of 54 rooms and is a great choice if you prefer a hotel-type stay. It has a restaurant on site along with other amenities such as free wi-fi, television, and an indoor pool and hot tub.

If you are looking for a comfortable stay but aren’t the hotel type, a great option is their cabins. They offer several variations including classic cabins and vacation cabins. The amenities differ per cabin type, so be sure to check what each offer based on your preference. The cabins are available year-round and make for a great family getaway. They also offer several cabins that are pet friendly.

If you are looking to get a little closer to nature, you can camp at Blackwater Falls. The campground is open from late April through October. They have campsites for both tents and travel trailers available.

If these accommodations aren’t your style, there are many choices to stay outside of the state park. There are plenty of vacation properties nearby that you can rent from VRBO or Airbnb. These are especially nice if you are traveling with a large family or have special accommodation preferences. Wherever you decide to stay, you will be close to scenic views and surrounded by nature.

What are the Almost Heaven Swings?

The Almost Heaven Swings are handmade, wooden swings that are placed at some of the most beautiful and photogenic scenic views in the state. They are only found in West Virginia and make traveling within the state much more fun for the kids.

If you are traveling across the state of West Virginia, it makes for a fun adventure to “check off” these swings one by one off of your list. Our girls get excited whenever they spot an Almost Heaven Swing and run to get their pictures taken on them. We plan on visiting as many of the Almost Heaven Swings as we can over the next few years.

For complete details regarding these swings, including all locations and maps, please visit the West Virginia Tourism website. They describe the locations of these as the most Instagrammable spots in West Virginia and I wholeheartedly agree!

Recap

Traveling with kids to Blackwater Falls State Park doesn’t have to be complicated. There are plenty of activities that are family-friendly to enjoy at the park. Decide what season works best for your family by reading our above tips and book the trip! If you are short on vacation days and can’t make a long vacation out of it, a weekend trip is great! If at all possible, you can take a trip in the winter, we highly recommend the Sled Run. Of course, no trip to Blackwater Falls State Park is complete without taking one of the trails to view the beautiful, Blackwater Falls.

With prices of everything going up a lot of people are looking for ways to save their money. As a stay-at-home mom, I am constantly looking for ways to stretch our budget. Whether it be cutting costs, using coupons, or shopping the clearance sections. One way our family saves money is by using the Upside App.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. All recommended products and services are based on my positive experience with them. Please read full disclosure for more information.

What is Upside?

The Upside App is an app for your phone that gives you cash-back when you purchase gas from specific gas stations. There are also various restaurants and convenience stores that participate. When purchasing gas, you receive so much back per gallon (example: 10 cents per gallon cash back.) Restaurants and convenience stores usually offer a percentage back (example: 10% cash back.) After you earn enough cash back, you can cash out into a gift card or directly into your bank account.

Is the Upside App Just Another Scam?

I know what you are thinking, this is probably just another one of those apps that wants to collect my information, and I can’t actually earn any money from it. Trust me, my husband and I thought the same thing before doing our research into the Upside App. However, I am here to tell you that this app is not one of those scams! We have personally been using this app for a few years and have cashed out several times.

Is the App Easy to Use?

I think the app is very user-friendly and is easy to get started. After downloading, there are a few simple steps that you will need to do in order to earn cash back. (See How Do I Get Started Using Upside below for information on how to earn an extra 15 cents per gallon.)

1. Open your app and click on Find Offers at the bottom of the app. You can also find offers by searching an area on the map. The app will show you all available offers in your area.
2. Click on the offer that you would like to use. Click Claim.
3. Head to your gas station that you claimed the offer for and purchase your gas. Afterwards, you select your card that you made your purchase with and select “I’ve paid.”
4. That’s it! They usually process your cash back in 2-4 days.

Things to Know Before Using Upside

Although the app is easy to use, there are a few things that you should know in order to get the most out of the offers.

1. You need to claim the offer before you make your purchase. This is probably the hardest part for me as I often forget to claim the offer before getting gas and then I am out of luck. The good news is that you have 4 hours to make your gas purchase after you claim your offer.
2. It gets tricky if you try to combine an Upside offer with other discounts. Their terms state, “If combined with other discounts, cash back offer may be reduced by up to 5 cents per gallon.” I have had mine denied because I used the app alongside a fuel rewards discount. I found that I normally end up saving more money by using the Upside app alone.
3. You must use a credit or debit card to make your purchases. This makes it really easy for you to claim your cash back. You can easily add your cards to your Upside Wallet so that you don’t have to manually enter them or remember to take pictures of your receipts.
4. If you want to cash out your earnings and you only have a small amount, there might be a fee taken out of your account. As of the time of this writing, as long as you are cashing out at least $15 at a time, there are no fees associated with it.

How Much Money Can I Earn?

The amount of money that you earn is based on how much you use the app. If you are good about remembering to claim your offers, you will start earning money in no time. The cash back amounts that the gas stations and restaurants offer change often. Sometimes you might only earn 1 cent back per gallon. However, I have seen up to 26 cents back per gallon several times! There are several factors that determine how much you earn, such as frequency of gas purchases, how many gallons you purchase at a time, and the number of participating locations in your area.

Is it Worth It?

Are you going to get rich from the cash back that you earn from the app? No, of course not! However, it is a simple way to earn money for making gas purchases that you were going to make anyway. Why not get some money back for it! You have several different options to select from when cashing out your earnings. You can have the money sent to your PayPal account, directly to your bank account or pick from a variety of gift cards. For something that just takes up a few minutes of your time, the amount earned is worth it. We like to cash out for gift cards to restaurants that we can use while traveling to save money while on vacation.

How Do I Get Started Using Upside?

Download the Upside App from the App Store or Google Play Store. After downloading, open the app and set up your account/profile. Use my referral promo code of YQVS6 as a special bonus to get an extra 15 cents back per gallon on your next offer! Before claiming any offers, you will need to apply the promo code in a few easy steps.

1. On the main screen of the Upside App, click on the 3 lines icon at the top right corner of your screen.
2. Click on Profile.
3. Click on Promo Code.
4. Enter code YQV26 and select Done.

After entering in your promo code to get your bonus, you will need to make one purchase of at least $10. You will then receive your bonus discount of 15 cents back per gallon! What are you waiting for? Download the Upside App now, enter the promo code, and start earning cash back now!

Are you considering starting a new blog but have no idea where to start? There are TONS of opinions out there on the internet and a lot of them have conflicting information. Before starting my blog, I did a lot of research and learned helpful tips from many different experienced bloggers along the way. However, the most important information that I learned is how you can legally protect yourself and your blog.

If you are in the beginning stages of setting up your blog, the words “legally protect” might sound daunting. Don’t give up yet! I’ll show you how in just a few simple steps you can legally protect your new blog. The best part is you can complete this step in less than 30 minutes! Later in this post, I will share my review of A Self Guru’s legal bundles that make this process simple.

Disclaimer

Before we get too far into this post about protecting your blog. I want to say that I am definitely not a lawyer and am not offering any type of legal advice. If you have legal questions or concerns, it is always best to contact a legal professional. Please see my Disclaimer page for complete details.

What Pages Do I Need to Legally Protect My Blog?

There are 3 important pages that you need to include on your website in order to legally protect your blog.

1. Privacy Policy
   • This is a mandatory legal statement that lets visitors to your site know what information you are collecting about them and how you are using their personal information. This is REQUIRED by law to disclose.
2. Disclaimer
   • This page is there to protect you from someone suing you after visiting your website and suffering a negative outcome after taking your advice or from an affiliate product that you recommended etc.
3. Terms and Conditions
   • These are the rules and regulations that you have for your website and the visitors that come to it. It helps protect you legally by protecting your website from copyright infringement from others stealing your content. It allows you to write out your terms that each user to your website must abide by.

Can’t I Just Make Up My Own Legal Pages?

Instead of paying a lawyer to write up these pages for me, can’t I just make my own? No, I definitely don’t recommend this! Unless you are a legal professional, you probably don’t keep up with the latest changes and legal terms that you need to keep yourself from getting sued. Can I just copy someone else’s pages? This would be considered copyright infringement and could get you into legal trouble. You already have enough on your to-do list for starting your blog. Don’t make this part harder than it has to be!

Is There an Easy Way to Protect My Blog with these Pages?

The good news is that it is super easy to add these mandatory legal pages to your new site! Amira from A Self Guru makes the whole process a breeze. She is a lawyer who specializes in legal pages for websites, including the 3 required ones above. I personally used her services for creating the legal pages for Our Adventures in Parenthood blog.

There are several different bundles to choose from depending on the needs of your website. I started out with the Starter Legal Bundle, which at the time of this writing includes the 3 required templates (privacy policy, disclaimer, and terms and conditions) along with 9 bonus templates! If your website is more advanced and you need more templates, you probably want to consider one of the bigger bundles, such as the Premium or VIP Legal Bundles.

If you do not need an entire “bundle” of legal templates, you can purchase any of her templates by themselves. She has a variety of templates to meet your needs such as Sweepstakes, Sponsored Posts Contract, Affiliate Agreement and so much more!

How Easy Was It to Set Up Your Legal Pages?

After purchase, I was immediately emailed my account information and log in information. I was in my account within 5 minutes and was able to immediately start personalizing my templates for my website. She makes to so easy that almost anyone can do this! All you have to do is fill in the highlighted areas in each template (see picture below). She even explains what to insert into each highlighted area. Afterwards, all you need to do is copy and paste the template into your page you created on your blog or website.

I was done with personalizing my templates and adding them to my website within 30 minutes! This might just be the easiest part of starting your blog! When checking out, I received a special offer to purchase her ADA & WCAG Compliance Bundle. I purchased this and was easily able to add my accessibility statement to my website.

You Can Earn Your Money Back!

If you are willing to do a little work and promote Amira’s templates through her Affiliate Program, you can earn your money back for purchasing the templates. (There is no purchase required in order to join her affiliate program and results depend on your work, traffic statistics etc.) She shows you how to easily set up your affiliate account and start earning money right away! She offers an unheard-of affiliate commission of 40%!

Recap

I had no idea where to start with how to legally protect myself and my blog when first starting out. I thought it would be this daunting task that would take me hours and hours to complete. After using these templates, I 100% recommend A Self Guru’s legal bundles to make this process easier on you! I now feel a sense of relief knowing that I am protected and that the process is complete. If you want to feel that same sense of relief knowing that your new blog is legally protected, I recommend you check out her legal templates here:

As busy parents, mornings can turn into a whirlwind very quickly.

What Ingredients Do I Need to Make a 5 Minute Breakfast Sandwich?

• English Muffin
• 1 Egg per sandwich
• Sliced Cheese
• Canadian Bacon (or any other breakfast meat of your choice)

My Favorite items to use for these sandwiches are:

• Thomas Light Multi-Grain English Muffins-At just 100 calories per muffin these are the perfect “bread” for these sandwiches. I have found that the Thomas brand English Muffins last much longer than other comparable brands
• Jones Dairy Farm Canadian Bacon-The serving size is 3 slices and has 10 grams of protein per serving. It is 97% fat free which makes it a great choice for a breakfast meat. I personally only use 1 slice of this per breakfast sandwich, but you can add more if desired.
• Velveeta Slices Original-Each slice only has 35 calories, and it melts so easily in the microwave for this recipe.

What are the Steps to Making 5 Minute Breakfast Sandwiches?

1. Spray your ramekin or small bowl with non-stick cooking spray. I love using my ramekins for these because the eggs don’t stick to them, and it makes the perfect size egg for my sandwich every time.

2. Add one egg to your ramekin and stir it up thoroughly with a fork.

3. Microwave the egg for about 20 seconds. Check the egg for doneness and add more time as needed. My microwave usually takes about 40 seconds for the egg to be done completely. Egg will be set and will slide out easily. (Be careful as the ramekin might be hot!)

4. Meanwhile, you are going to go ahead and prep the rest of your sandwich. Split the English muffin in two and add your cheese and Canadian bacon to it.

5. Flip over the ramekin onto the bottom portion of the English Muffin to add the egg to it. If your egg is a little runny on the bottom when flipped over, you will want to microwave your sandwich as an open-faced sandwich until your egg is completely set.

6. Put the sandwich together and microwave just until your cheese starts to get melty and your Canadian bacon is warm. Usually, 20-30 seconds is perfect! Enjoy!

Can you freeze these breakfast sandwiches?

Busy parents are always looking for ways to save time in the mornings and I completely understand! However, I have never tried to make these ahead and freeze them. I have made other breakfast sandwiches and frozen them before, so these should be no different. I would just cook the eggs as directed and let cool completely before assembling the sandwiches. Be sure to wrap the sandwiches tightly before putting in the freezer to avoid freezer burn and drying out of the sandwiches.

Are you tired of wasting your money on play dough for your kids, just to have them leave the lids off and end up throwing it away?

Let me start by saying that this can get messy! If your child does not like to get their hands messy or sticky or if you are afraid of a little cleanup, then this project is probably not the best fit for you. However, if your kids love hands-on activities and find joy in making something fun to play with from scratch, then keep reading.

During the process it can get a bit messy. However, I was pleasantly surprised at just how fast it was to clean up. I simply washed the bowl and spoon as I would my regular dishes and they can clean quickly. After the kids were done playing, I wiped the table up with baby wipes and it was good as new.

What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Shaving Cream Fun Dough?

• 1 cup glue
• 1/2 cup shaving cream
• 3 cups cornstarch
• Few drops of food coloring (optional)

Tip: The above amounts make enough for one or two kids. If you want to make a bigger batch, just multiply the above recipe.

What are the Steps to Make the Dough?

1. Start by adding your glue to a big bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice. Stir until desired color is achieved.

2. Add shaving cream to your bowl and mix well.

3. Gradually add the cornstarch to the bowl, stirring constantly.

4. Add more cornstarch as needed until the desired consistency is achieved. I ended up adding a good bit more so that the dough was not so sticky and was easier to play with.

5. You’re all done! Let your kids have tons of fun!

How to Store the Fun Dough After Use

When your kids are done playing with the fun dough, be sure to store it in an air-tight container or zipped storage bag to keep it from drying out.

I want to start out by saying that our family is so glad that you are here!

My husband and I have always loved to travel together and have been packing as many vacations into our schedule as we can make work. Once we decided to start a family, we decided that we wanted them to see the world too! As a family of four, our vacations look much different now than when it was just the two of us. They are packed with lots of extra restroom breaks, pit stops for snacks, and tons of kid friendly activities. Most importantly, they are filled with so many family memories that will never be replaced!

We have discovered that life is too short to keep putting off that dream vacation. Try not to wait until retirement or when you meet a certain goal. The time to travel is now! Even if you can’t afford a five-star luxury vacation, you can plan a trip that meets your budget and current situation.

We are here to help! As we document our travel journeys throughout the United States and around the world, we hope that they not only encourage you to take the trip but to spend quality time with those that you love while you still can.

Let us Help You

When we are not traveling, I am a stay-at-home, homeschool mom who loves keeping our girls busy with lots of creative and hands-on activities. As busy parents, we all know that sometimes it is a struggle to just keep our sanity throughout the day as we juggle all of the tasks of parenthood. It is even harder to find the time to research, plan out and actually do activities with our kids. Hopefully this blog can help you take a few items off of your never-ending to-do list by being a resource for activities that you can do with your kids or simple recipes that you can make that your whole family will love!

Finally, as we document our family’s journey on Our Adventures in Parenthood blog, our hope is to encourage others by making vacation planning easier with helpful tips and tricks from places we have been and products that make our life easier, sharing our favorite recipes that the whole family enjoys, and by sharing fun kid’s activities with you that can be used to enhance your homeschool journey or just for creative ideas to do with your kids!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our blog and for joining us as we navigate this journey of parenthood alongside each other as we go on awesome adventures with our kids!
