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 […]

Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
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, […]
Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
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 […]
