Food, Crafts and Fun
My daughter and I have decided we love anything EOS (or lip balm). We gave out some cute lip balm gifts at Christmas time. Now it’s almost Valentine’s Day and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to find a few EOS printables out on the web and give them as gifts to teachers. Thank you to […]

Store bought Valentine’s cards or homemade? I think that’s the first question you have to ask yourself. The second question? How fun are all of these ideas?!?! Oh wait, that’s not a question, that’s a statement. Because, come on, these are some great ideas you and your kids can make for their classmates. Thanks to […]

Do you buy the little boxes of Valentine’s cards for your kids to give to their class or do you make your own? I, personally, don’t like the little store bought ones. They are pretty cheezy and let’s face it, kids don’t really care about the little cards, they like the candy or little gift […]

It’s hard to believe I’ve been a part of the Secret Recipe Club for 3 1/2 years. Holy smokes! Where has the time gone?!?! My first official Secret Recipe Club post was back in August, 2011, where I posted Mt. Bachelor Bars. It’s been so much fun discovering new blogs and recipes. Over the years […]

Donuts are my kryptonite. Seriously. I absolutely love them. Typically I shy away from making them because a baked donut? That’s like saying low fat dessert. Something doesn’t quite roll off my tongue with those. But my kids had friends over for a sleep over and I wanted to make something fun for them. Yowza! […]

For some reason I always have thought my Wilton Cookie Press was a Christmas cookie press… only. Why haven’t I branched out to other holidays??? Because let’s face it. These are adorable. Thank you to Baby Living Mama for this idea. The recipe is the same as the recipe on my Wilton Cookie Press box. […]

This… Things you’ll need: Hershey’s Nuggets Chocolate Valentine card stock Pretzel Bags Double sided tape (this Red Line Double Sided Tape is my favorite and works great) Alphabet […]

We’ve made Pop Tarts before and absolutely loved them. Who doesn’t love a good Pop Tart??? We’ve even made them over a campfire. So making them for Valentine’s Day was a no brainer. Heart shaped, filled with Homemade Jelly? Yes, please. They are super easy to make and taste so much better than the store […]

It’s Secret Recipe Club time again. That means I have been assigned a “secret” blog and have to make a recipe from it. I love this because I love reading new blogs and trying new recipes. My assignment this month was Annie’s Noms. Hello! Delicious! Annie is the genius behind the scene and what she […]

Over the winter break my kids and I went to the beach for a few days. The beach is my refuge. I love it there. Even in the winter when it’s col, windy and rainy, there’s no place I’d rather be. (Well, maybe a beach that’s hot and sunny???) While there my kids and I […]

Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
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 […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
