Food, Crafts and Fun
Oh my gosh! Are you ready for another totally fun thing to send in the mail? And how perfect are these for Valentine’s Day? Do they look like real sugar cookies? Ha! They’re postcards! They look like cookies, don’t they??? I love them! I can’t wait until my friends and family open their mailboxes and […]

I have a love/hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I mean, I’m all for Holidays. Any reason to sit around and eat chocolate and I’m in. But Valentine’s Day? It’s a single person’s nemesis. I mean really. What better way to point out the fact that you have no one. That’s the hate part. Wow, I’m […]

It’s no secret that I love to send snail mail. I send out cards at every opportunity. I just think it’s nice to get something in the mail other than bills. Right? But what’s better than a card? I’m here to tell ya’! How about getting an Ice Cream Sandwich Postcard in the mail? Yep, […]

We’re not big football fans in my house. Meaning, we never watch it. EVER. But on Superbowl Sunday we flip back and forth to catch the score and see what great commercials they have come up with. Don’t read too much into this. It’s not like I want to know the score. I just want […]

A friend posted this on Facebook so I instantly saved it to my wall. It linked back to a Facebook page and I’m not totally sure how to do that on here so I’m linking to a link I found on Pinterest here. I was more than a little skeptical when I first saw this […]

At my work Christmas party we do a gift exchange. It’s always a hoot and by far the best part of the party. But each year I struggle with what to buy. I want it to be perfect and highly “steal-able”. (It’s one of those gift exchanges.) The booze and the coffee are always big […]

If you love fudge as much as I do, you can’t get enough. I love that there are so many flavors out there and my new mission in life is to try them all. Yep, a fudge marathon. What do you think? Yeah, you probably shouldn’t answer that. On my quest for the perfect fudge […]

Did you miss my Secret recipe Club post last month? Me too. Group C took the month of December off so we could celebrate the holidays and not stress about what to make and post. It was a great break (and holiday) but now we’re back! My assignment this month was Lisa’s blog, Authentic Suburban […]

How fun are these? A friend asked me to watch her kids the other day so she and her husband could spend the day together to celebrate their anniversary. How could I ever say no to that! And I just love her kids! I always like to plan a fun craft to do (to help […]

I’m not sure about other parts of the country but where I live, loom bands are the rage. Both my kids got one for Christmas (yes, even the boys are loving them) and it’s been a bracelet making factory in my house ever since. If you haven’t heard of this new fad, a Loom Band […]

What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
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. […]
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 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 […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]
The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
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 […]
