Making Memories With Your Kids
Food, Crafts and Fun
Every November, the day after Thanksgiving, my kids wake up and excitedly search the house for Zachary, our Elf on the Shelf. You can read about Zachary HERE. Then the day after Christmas, Zachary goes back to the North Pole to spend the rest of the year with Santa. What a great tradition.
This summer Zachary sent my kids a post card!
How cool is that?!?!
Thanks to East Coast Mommy for this one. You can go there to download this free postcard. Yeah!
Happy Summer, from our Elf on the Shelf.
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
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 […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
We have another fun and delicious Halloween treat for you today. Aren’t these little guys cute? I’m not sure what my favorite part of them is: the delicious white chocolate coating? Or the mouth watering Oreo Cream Cheese filling? Maybe it’s a tie. We found this recipe over on the The Recipe Critic PrintMummy Cookie […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
What a cute idea! My kids would love a postcard from Ruby, our Elf-on-the-Shelf!
I’m sending this to my grandkids. Their parents have fun with the Elf on the Shelf. Very fun idea.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This is too cute! I downloaded it. I am going to send it to our family in New York!
Oh, how fun!! Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!!
What a great idea! Keep the kids in the spirit all year round (and remind them that someone is watching – lol!) We got an elf on the shelf for our daughters first christmas last year, obviously she is too young to understand, but i can’t wait to start the tradition soon!!
What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing!
