Food, Crafts and Fun
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 was so excited when I received my Secret Recipe Club assignment this month. I’m always excited, but this month? Super excited! I saw the blog name, did a quick “whoo hoo” and immediately clicked on the link to head over to From Brazil To You to start reading. You see, I have a huge […]

It was all about mustaches in our house earlier this month. My daughter wanted a mustache party for her 9th birthday party and who am I to say no. (She was torn between a mustache party and a hamster party. Ummmm…. hamster? Yeah. So it was a no brainer that I steered her towards a […]

When Hostess said they were shutting their doors what was your reaction? Did you care? Were you like “what the heck?! Hostess has been around forever. They can’t stop making them!” I was totally the latter. I love Hostess. Not that I eat them that often. But it’s nice to know they’re there, right? You […]

We’re always looking for fun ways to give money as a gift. For this gift idea, we just modified our Christmas Money Gift Idea poem to a birthday one. Perfect! My daughter’s friend loved it and it was a little more fun than just getting cash in a birthday card. Right? I typed this poem […]

I’m on a quest. Not for the Holy Grail or eternal happiness. A quest to find the most delisiousness that you can dip in chocolate. I know! It’s a big one, right? I have a pretty high bar when it comes to desserts so maybe eternal happiness would have been easier. But what better way […]

My daughter has decided that she wants a mustache birthday party this year. I’m not sure what it is about mustache’s, but she loves them. And who am I do deny the birthday girl, right? We can have some fun with mustaches. I found these totally adorable Mustache Birthday Invitations over on Brass Peacock. They […]

When I saw the name of this cake on Pinterest I was curious to read why this was “Crack” cake. I’ve seen Crack Brownies out there and even made our version of them (found here). But cake? I was curious. And was I glad I looked! Just reading the ingredients made me want to make […]

How big really is a billion? That’s the question. I know the first thing that comes to my mind is “that’s a lot!” But “a lot” doesn’t even begin to cover it. And did you know that every year Americans leave a billion dollars on the table when they do their own taxes. A BILLION […]

We’ve already established we’re Rainbow Loom Crazy in my house. My kids LOVE their looms and have a great time making everyone bracelets. The Valentine’s Day Bracelet Cards were a huge hit in my daughter’s class so it only seemed natural (in a very Rainbow Loom Bracelet obsessed sort of way) that we would make […]

Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]
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 remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]
I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
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 […]
