I just love that word – phalanges. It’s fun to say. But technically this bling isn’t on the phalanges. That would imply that it’s actually on the fingers and toes. But that’s a much “funner” word to say than toenails or fingernails, right? So we’ll stick with phalanges. I realize it’s not summer time anymore […]

One of my all time favorite cookies is shortbread cookies. I love the buttery deliciousness of them and could eat way too many of them. But top them with milk chocolate and I’m in trouble. So when my kids and I found this awesome Wilton pan at my favorite store (that would be The Decorette […]

I’ve seen a lot of pumpkin variations out there in blog land. There are duct tape ones (which were pretty cool by the way) and glitter ones and painted and jeweled ones. I’m kind of the traditional orange pumpkin kind of gal. I like the carved basic pumpkin pumpkins. So I didn’t really pay too […]

There are a billion reasons why I love Halloween! Dressing up in costumes, watching all the little kids get excited, all of the decorations and festivities going on and the plethora of Halloween candy out there. I love Halloween candy!

This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
