My Mom called me the other day and asked if I would bring a fruit tray to the family gathering we were having. To me, this was an open invitation for some fruit creativity. I mean, I could have just sliced up some fruit and plopped it on a plate. But really??? That’s not how […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]
Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]

Omgosh, I can’t believe that Cathy is your mom! I just left a comment on your Sopapilla Cheesecake bars the other day, not even realizing the connection. Gosh, no matter how vast, the blogging world is still small 🙂
And I absolutely LOVED your mom’s Danish Puff. It was gone in no time flat and I’m thinking about making it to bring to my parents house this weekend!
What wonderful idea! I am going to take it a step further. My daughter is in West Virginia attending graduate school. She has been pretty homesick. I think we will make Seattle bottles! I also think it will be a fun surprise to send friends far away.
Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful ideas.

I have also been going to the Oregon Coast my whole life, I love it so much- so relaxing and beautiful!! What a fun gift to send to someone! Very cute project! ~April
Very cute idea! Did the bottles do okay shipping without any extra packaging?
What a super neat idea!! I am pinning it now.
What a FUN idea! My munchkins would be thrilled to receive something like this!
