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 can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
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 […]
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 have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
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 […]
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
Tag! I’m it! Yeah! I love to play games. I’m a kid at heart. I’ll admit it. So when Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie tagged me, I was thrilled and honored. Thrilled because, like I said, I like to play =o) And honored because I love her blog. She posts the best recipes! What […]
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 […]
