Food, Crafts and Fun
My daughter’s favorite candy is candy corn. She LOVES it! But it’s super hard to find in stores if it’s not Halloween. So I figured there has to be a way to make it. How hard could it be, right? I mean, what is it? Sugar and more sugar. I can do that. (Well, at […]
[Continue reading...]I can only imagine that my Grandmother is looking down on me right now and shaking her head. I used to joke with her about saving all the tiny (and not to mention gross) pieces of soap and squishing them all together to make a big bar of soap. She used to say all sorts […]
[Continue reading...]It’s funny how excited we get when we win something. Well, I’m euphoric. I won my first blog award for my Marshmallow Cresent Puffs. It was the Tuesday Tastes People’s Choice Award over at Crazy Daisy. Thank you to Jasey and everyone who voted for this fantastic recipe! I really appreciate it!!!

I’m not exactly sure what to call this dip. The name that first comes to my mind is “bowl of total awesomeness that makes me want to actually eat fruit”. But that’s pretty long. So I guess I’ll stick with English Toffee Dip. A co-worker brought this into work a little while back and said […]

I love it when a friend emails me and asks if I’ve seen a certain activity or recipe that I can do/make with my kids. And I LOVE when the activity is free! I mean seriously… free rocks! So when a friend emailed me this site I did the “whoo hoo, free stuff” shout out […]

A while back my Mom brought over a plate of these delicious puffs. She said “try these and tell me what you guys think.” Well, my kids never got to try them because once I took one bite of them I scarfed down the entire plate. (I’m secure enough in myself to be able to […]

A couple of years ago I was looking for some place to take my kids that didn’t cost very much money. The beach is our favorite destination but it’s so expensive to stay there. I searched hotel prices and googled family destinations but didn’t come up with anything that was within my budget. Then a […]

I remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]

Once again Regal Cinemas is hosting their Free Family Film Festival this summer. This event has been going on since 1991 but it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I even heard of it. And did I mention it’s FREE?!?! Click on this link to find a movie theater near you that is […]

We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
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, […]
The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! I told you that I was going to make dinner time more fun and exciting. How fun is this idea?!?! My kids loved it! This idea came from the cookbook Just For Kids Collection. (If you missed my Octo-Dog post you MUST check it out here!) Here’s […]
I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
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 […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
I have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
