Food, Crafts and Fun
I started doing a Dessert Auction with some friends and co-workers last month to raise money. Not to buy groceries (ha!) My kids and I are planning a volunteer trip to Peru next summer. We’re going to go for 6 weeks and work in one of the orphanages there. I can hardly contain my excitement! So… […]

I was a little reluctant to try these brownies for one reason only. The picture that is all over Pinterest for these is the same picture that I saw when I saw the 37 Calorie Brownies. Yep. Same exact picture. And if you haven’t read about our 37 Calorie Brownies yet? You need to. Then […]

Yeah! It’s Secret Recipe Club reveal day today. I love this day. I love finding new blogs (or reading one’s I have already stocked and favorite), making new recipes, and then sharing them with the other members of group C. I know. Simple, right? Don’t judge. This month my blog assignment was Feast on the […]

I’m not a huge breakfast food fan. I’d much rather have a sandwich or some casserole than pancakes or things like that. But when coffee cake is involved, I’m all for it. Coffee cake has to be right up there with donuts for me. Love it! And this did not disappoint my sweet breakfast tooth. […]

Did you think I disappeared? I’ve been a little MIA this past week. It was a tough week for me and getting on the computer just wasn’t in the cards. I’m still trying to figure some things out but am slowly getting back into my routine. One of the many things I like about my […]

Here’s our last Teacher Appreciation Gift idea. Again, so easy and so cute. We used recycled Frappuccino bottles but you could use plastic soda bottles and cut the tops off, fill with Kisses, and then tape shut. Tape the labels found HERE onto another piece of cardstock and there you go…. (Hershey) Kisses for […]

Teacher Appreciation Week is officially underway in less than 8 hours. Have you made anything for your teachers yet? If you need some fun ideas, you can see some here. At my kid’s school they send out a little piece of paper to all of the parents with different gift ideas for the teachers. I’m […]

I love this simple gift idea. We made them for my kid’s teachers this year but they don’t have to be just for teachers. We made these cute labels and printed them out on cardstock. You can download the printable HERE. You can use any Burt’s Bee product. We chose the tinted lip balm. Who […]

I just love the Frappuccino bottles out there. A co-worker drinks the drinks and brings the empties to me. Perfect for me because I don’t drink coffee (and even more perfect because I don’t have to pay anything for them.) Sweet! And don’t they make cute gifts? We made these tags for Teacher Appreciation Week […]

Teacher Appreciation Week is a time for us to show teachers how much they do for us and our children. This year it is May 5 – 9 and we’ve been busy in our house coming up with ideas to celebrate the hardworking people who work with my kids everyday. I saw this very cute […]

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 […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
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’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
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 […]
