Food, Crafts and Fun
Who loves slushees? You can make these any flavor you want. We pretty much love them all but my daughter has a thing for Bubble Gum. So that was the first flavor we made. (Yes, we’ve made a lot of these since then.) The flavoring that I always use is from LorAnn Oils. They are […]

A co-worker brought these to our staff Christmas party and my first thought? Genius! Then my second thought? How have I never eaten these before?! So when another co-worker and I were planning a fundraiser/staff get together, these were on the menu (immediately.) And how can you go wrong with anything wrapped in bacon??? They […]

These cute cookies have been on my “to make” list for awhile. I thought they were so cute and they made me think of my Grandma Sara. She would have loved these! She loved tea and I remember, even as a kid, sitting down and drinking tea with her in her fancy china tea cups […]

Yep, we’re hooked on Loom Bands in our house. We’ve made more bracelets than one family ever should. But it’s fun, cheap, fairly easy and something my kids and I can do together. We sit on the floor in front of my iPad and look up videos on YouTube. It’s great family time! Why are we […]

Okay, don’t laugh. Yes, we made these. I saw a video on Facebook from Sabado Gigante and showed my daughter. That was it for me. She said we had to make one. Well, she actually said we had to make 3 of them. One for each of us. She said I needed one in my […]

It’s the third Monday of the month. Yeah. That means it’s Secret Recipe Club reveal day. It kind of snuck up on us this month. School has started (sigh.) Who else is running around feeling completely frazzled lately? Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with my kids going back to school. But that means I […]

We love root beer! Root beer everything! We’ve made Root Beer Float Popsicles, Root Beer Ice Cream, Root Beer Float Fudge, Root Beer Homemade Zotz Fizzy Candy and another version of Root Beer Float Cookies. (All amazing!) So when I saw these Root Beer Float Sandwich Cookies on Pinterest, what did I do??? Pinned it! […]
[Continue reading...]Guest post by Sara Stringer. Just under four months left before the Christmas holidays bring the whole family together to share a wonderful meal and some joy – and create new memories together. Families need keepsakes. Keepsakes work like glue: they keep things together: And a bit like sugar; they sweeten. Regardless of your role […]

Now that my son is in middle school (big sigh) he has a lot of teachers. Seven of them to be exact, plus a great school counselor. Sadly, I didn’t buy enough Ball Jars for our First Day of School gifts for all of them (plus my daughter’s) so we had to come up […]

Are you counting down the days until school starts? My kids are. They are so excited to start the new school year. (How are they related to me???) My son is going into middle school. Middle school! How did that happen?!?! We’re big believers in letting the teachers know they are appreciated. And the beginning […]

My kids and I watch a craft show every Saturday morning called Donna’s Day. Have you heard of it? It’s fantastic. She does crafts and recips and all sorts of great things for you to do with your kids. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are for the more Martha Stewart Mom’s out […]
I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
Because, really… isn’t everything better on a stick? Heck yeah! And how cute are these little mummy heads? I just loved them. We gobbled up our Mummy Twinkie Pops (holy smokes, were they good!) And we wanted to do another fun mummy treat this Halloween so we decided on these. Mummy Oreo Suckers Source: How […]
I mentioned in my last post for our Faux Deviled Eggs that I love April Fools Day and all the fun food ideas. Well, here’s another super cute idea. How about making a Chicken Not Pie for dinner for your kids. Did you catch that? Chicken Not Pie. I know, clever right? (Or were you […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]
I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
