Food, Crafts and Fun
Yep, we’ve gone from Christmas to Valentine’s Day. There’s no “in between” in our house. Our first Valentine’s creation of the year are these little Treat Purses. I love paper crafts. They make sure cute little gifts to give to co-workers or teachers or class mates. Add in Hershey’s Nuggets Chocolates and I’m in. Yum. […]

We’re always looking for fun ways to give money to family and friends. A check is nice, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not very much fun to open. Especially for a younger person (aka, a kid.) So when I saw this idea on Pinterest, I knew it was a keeper. Come on…. Money Fries!!!! […]

Is it sad that I’m sitting on the couch writing this blog post while watch Dog the Bounty Hunter? I know. Don’t judge! My son started watching at awhile back and got me hooked. Oh the things we do. But these little sandwiches? Delicious! Perfect for when you want something yummy but not really difficult […]

I wish I had posted this recipe earlier so you could have made this Christmas morning. It’s definitely a Christmas morning breakfast casserole because it is awesome! But no worries, you can make it on New Year’s Eve, or Sunday, or today, or for dinner. It’s that good. It’s super easy to make. (I love […]

Santa has been so busy this year. My kids wrote letters, but Santa forgot all about the time and his letters weren’t sent on time. So guess what? Santa decided to move into the 21st century and send an email. And it’s not just any email. It’s a personalized video email! Oh yeah, and did I mention […]

Who else is glad it’s Saturday today? It’s been a chaotic couple of weeks at work but yesterday was the last day of school for two weeks. Two weeks people!!! Yeah! Are you ready for Christmas? Only 5 more days. My kids are excitedly counting down the days. Me? Yikes. I have some wrapping to […]

Here’s another fun gift idea for Christmas. I took some of them to school to give to some co-workers and my kid’s teachers. Who doesn’t love hand soap, right? And if you work in a school filled with germs and goobers? Perfect. I found this great printable over on Lil’ Luna but it was a […]

Yes, I work in a middle school. So, yes, I think these are pretty dang funny. And, yes, I think they make the perfect gift for co-workers and my kid’s teachers. But what makes these bad boys different from the other poop gifts out there (like Snowman Poop)? Snowman Poop is just marshmallows. That’s it. […]

Typically I’d be getting ready for my monthly Secret Recipe Club post. But in December and January, our posting gets a little wonky to give people a break for the holidays. But a few of the Secret Recipe Club members wanted to get together and do a virtual cookie swap. Cookies people!!! Of course I […]

I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]
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 […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
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 […]
I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
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 […]
