Food, Crafts and Fun
School has started so you know what that means… packing school lunches. Ugh. That’s the worst past of the morning for me. Well, that and getting up. But we won’t go into that. We’re here to talk about school lunches. I have figuring out what my kids will eat for lunch. It’s tough! They don’t […]

I’m pretty sure I could eat Mexican food every day. We have some of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in the town that I live in. Authentic Mexican food, not American Mexican food. There’s a huge difference. And when the weather starts to change and it gets cooler outside at night, I just feel like […]

How many people own a bathroom scale? I didn’t for years (when I was much younger.) I never thought much about weight. Then the years passed and I got older and it started becoming something I had to pay attention too. It could be the fact that I love to bake and cook and, oh […]

My kids and I are HUGE campers! If you’re a reader of my blog, this isn’t new information. We have tons of fun campfire meals to make and I talk quite a bit (during the summer) about all the great things we do while camping. One of the best parts of camping for us is […]

I don’t care how old you are, this one is a MUST for everyone. Because what do you do when you’re bored? Why, launch water balloons, of course. At least if you’re in my family you do. I remember years ago when my brother came home from college for a break. We all went to […]

Can you say “perfect combination”? Apple pie meet snickerdoodles. Heaven! I knew these bars were going to be good but when I took them out of the oven and smelled their apple cinnamon-y goodness, I knew I was in trouble. I wasn’t going to work for 2 days. 2 days of being alone in the house […]

Happy first day of school!!!! Well, for us it’s the first day of school. I know lots of you went back days or even weeks ago. (Sorry!) Here’s another great Back to School Teacher gift idea. I work in a school and I love to give some of my co-workers a little something to start […]

I just love making my kid’s teachers a little something to start off the year. Nothing big, just a little token of appreciation. It just starts off the year in a positive way. But don’t worry, if school has still started for you it’s not too late to start the year off right. The first […]

Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
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 […]
I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
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. […]
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. […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
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 […]
