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. […]

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 […]

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 pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]
I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]
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 love that I found these over on Mom Endeavors. I knew immediately that this was a Halloween snack we had to make. Super easy which means little helpers can do this one all on their own! What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
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 […]
