Food, Crafts and Fun
If you love Deviled Eggs and Pasta Salad, this is a delicious combination of both. I’m pretty sure I ate almost the entire batch – it was that good. I changed the recipe a little bit. Last summer we made Bread and Butter Pickles that are amazing. We sliced up Walla Walla Sweet onions and […]

Last year Camilla at Culinary Adventures with Camilla rallied some blogging friends to help her celebrate her 15th wedding anniversary. She was only looking for fifteen cheesecake recipes. But we posted waaaaaay more than #FifteenCheesecakes. It was such a hit and we all had so much fun that she decided to see if she could […]

Deviled Eggs are one of those things that I make all the time. My son loves them and couldn’t probably eat them every day. I just assume everyone knows how to make them since I’ve been making them since… forever. But over the years I’ve discovered not everyone feels the same about deviled eggs. I […]

It’s hard to believe it’s the first Monday of March. I know I’ve said this before, but seriously, where has the time gone? On Thursday my baby girl turns 11. ELEVEN! It feels like just last week that I was holding her in my arms and rocking her to sleep. Now, at 4′ 8″ tall, […]

Classified Employees Week starts on Monday. We make a lot of Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas to say thank you my kid’s teachers. But we can’t forget about all the other staff at school that make a difference in our kids lives. All of the instructional assistants, custodians, cafeteria workers and secretaries need a thank you […]

If you know me at all, you know I love holidays! I love making fun food on April Fool’s Day, green food on St. Patrick’s Day and absolutely anything Spring-y or colorful for Easter. So when the Secret Recipe Club put out an all call for and extra reveal day to help celebrate St. Patrick’s […]

Life has been super stressful around here lately and what better to serve than delicious comfort food. That makes everything better, right? Anyone? Well, it’s either that or a 1 pound box of chocolates. This recipe is an amazing cross between a delicious, cheesy lasagna and the ease of spaghetti. It’s perfect! Cook your spaghetti […]

Years ago someone told me the perfect “cure” for dry skin is to rub baby oil on your skin after a shower, before you dry off. Genius idea, actually, and I’ve been doing it ever since. Then, one day I discovered sugar scrub. It’s a loofah and moisturizer in one and man, oh, man, it’s […]

Valentine’s Day kind of snuck up on us this year. Every year we try to make our own Valentine’s for my daughter’s class. (My son is in middle school now and said he’s too old for Valentine’s. Sigh.) But, on the plus side, that’s 30 less Valentine’s that we have to come up with and make. […]

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and what better way to spread a little Valentine’s Day cheer to your kids than with lunch box notes. I love lunch box notes, and better yet, my daughter loves lunch box notes. We’ve made quite a few different kinds. You can check them out here. To print […]

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, […]
Are these the cutest cookies EVER?!?! Not to toot my own horn. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t invent this recipe. I just stole it =o) But how could I NOT steal it, right?!?! After I saw this cookie on Raina’s blog The Garden of Yum I knew this was the next cookie I was […]
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 […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
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 have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
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 […]
