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.
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
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 […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]
I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
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!
