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 […]

I have decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
Have you ever seen these things? They are egg molds? Egg what??? Egg molds! I saw them awhile ago and have been wanting to get them to try them out and here they are. Pretty cool looking aren’t they? You’re probably wondering why in the world anyone would want these things though, right? Well, I […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
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 […]
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 […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
