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 […]

I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
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 […]
Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
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. […]
I was feeling pretty guilty about my lack of party creativity for my daughter. The necklaces were pretty cute and I knew the girls would think they were fun but I was feeling bad for the boys. Plus I have this whole over-acheiver thing that I deal with. I have a hard time settling for […]
Because, really… isn’t everything better on a stick? Heck yeah! And how cute are these little mummy heads? I just loved them. We gobbled up our Mummy Twinkie Pops (holy smokes, were they good!) And we wanted to do another fun mummy treat this Halloween so we decided on these. Mummy Oreo Suckers Source: How […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
