Food, Crafts and Fun
My quest for learning how to decorate sugar cookies continues. Boy do I have a huge appreciation for those who can decorate the amazing cookies out there. (I have some pretty impressive ones on this Pinterest board.) Me? Well, let’s just say I’m still learning. I thought these (well, at least the ones I saw […]

Who doesn’t love cake balls? Ummm… no one! And who wouldn’t love to get a fun (and tasty) Easter gift of these? They were delicious! We gave them to my kids’ teachers and they loved them! Just add this cute tag found HERE. We’re linking to the parties found HERE.

We are huge deviled egg lovers. I think my son could eat them everyday (if I let him). My favorite were our BLT Deviled Eggs. (Heck, I could eat those everyday.) Make your deviled eggs how you normally make them. I know there are tons of different variations of how to make them. We just […]

Yeah, see how I typed in NOT after the title? That’s because this was a total flop. In theory, it was the coolest idea I’ve seen since our How to Separate An Egg Trick. (If you missed that one, you have to check it out. It’s pretty cool.) I tried twice but I just couldn’t […]

As soon as I saw these tubes of Easter Eggs at Target I knew I had to buy them. I’m always looking for fun things to send in the mail and aren’t these perfect?! By now the ladies at the local post office know me by the “strange” things I send in the mail. It’s […]

This is our last April Fools Day post for you this year (big sigh). But I had to do one more because I thought this was cute. My co-worker actually told me about this idea because she was going to do it. But then she had to go to a training today and isn’t at […]

It’s April Fools Day! Yeah! Happy April Fools Day to you all. Did you do a prank this morning on your kids? Maybe your co-workers? Come one. It’s not too late. I woke my kids up this morning and told them it was snowing outside. Aren’t I mean? They asked if we had school 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 […]

To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
I’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
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 […]
I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]
