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 saw this idea on one of my favorite blogs, The Pumpkin Patch, and had to try it out with my kids. Oh my gosh! It really works!!! It’s really easy to make and so much fun. Here’s what you’ll need: ** 1 Tablespoon self rising flour ** 1 Tablespoon salt ** 4 teaspoons water […]

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 […]

I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]
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 […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
My Mom called me the other day and asked if I would bring a fruit tray to the family gathering we were having. To me, this was an open invitation for some fruit creativity. I mean, I could have just sliced up some fruit and plopped it on a plate. But really??? That’s not how […]
I was feeling pretty guilty about my lack of party creativity for my daughter. The necklaces were pretty cute and I knew the girls would think they were fun but I was feeling bad for the boys. Plus I have this whole over-acheiver thing that I deal with. I have a hard time settling for […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
Oh, the pressure. My son’s request to make “fun food” every Saturday night for dinner is already getting to me. How do people come up with all these ideas??? Well, however they do it, I’m just grateful they do. That way I can copy them and my kids think I’m amazing =o) Jill over at […]
The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
