Food, Crafts and Fun
(Sorry for my pictures on this one!) This another recipe that I took to the beach for our family vacation. I made it before we left so I could just put it in the oven for dinner and wouldn’t have to do any prep work. It was a perfect recipe for that! And it was […]

My daughter asked me if I would teach her how to make homemade macaroni and cheese. It was like music to my ears. I love that my kids want to cook and bake with me! We search Pinterest for a good Mac and Cheese recipe and this is the one she picked. My kids are […]

This is another dessert that I took to our family beach trip. That’s why the pictures aren’t very good. Sorry about that. I made it quickly, then packed it in the cooler to take. I almost forgot to take a picture while we were there. Partly because we were having to much fun, and partly […]

Definitely not the prettiest dessert we’ve made. Sorry about that. But what it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in taste! It was delicious!!! Everything about it. Well, except for my pictures, of course. The cake was moist and tasted fantastic, and the frosting? I could have eaten it by the spoonfuls. […]
[Continue reading...](This is a post by Sara Stringer) Last year my husband and I came into some money and decided to buy a bigger house. We were lucky in that we got a good deal on a four-bedroom in a great school district with a deck that went on for miles, and enough yard for our […]

Here’s another cute and fun money gift idea. Because, again, who doesn’t love to get money as a gift?! My friend’s daughter graduated from OSU so we made the tag orange and black, tied a black ribbon around the top and filled a jar with change. You can get the free printable tag […]

Who doesn’t love s’mores, right? They scream summer time to me: camping, beach fires, good times and lots of fun. But they are messy to eat when they goo all over the place. Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with a little goo. But sometimes, like when I’m driving in the car and I […]

We all love to get money as a gift, right? I mean, come on! Who doesn’t love money?!?! But just putting a check in an envelope isn’t any fun is it? Maybe to get it, but if I’m going to give money as a gift, I want it to be fun. Yes, you read that […]

4th of July is right around the corner. Do you celebrate? BBQ? Light off fireworks? I’m not a huge 4th fan/celebrator. We typically go to a friend’s house and swim and light off fireworks, but it’s not a red, white and blue celebration. (Which is fine by me.) It’s low key and perfect. But this […]

Our vacation to Cancun was amazing! (You can see some of our fun pictures here.) Sun, beach, pool activities, good food and amazing blended, fruity drinks! Can you even go wrong with that combination??? Thank goodness for all-inclusive because I started adding up what it would have cost me to keep my kids hydrated for […]

It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]

One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
