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 […]

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 […]

I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
Tag! I’m it! Yeah! I love to play games. I’m a kid at heart. I’ll admit it. So when Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie tagged me, I was thrilled and honored. Thrilled because, like I said, I like to play =o) And honored because I love her blog. She posts the best recipes! What […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
Have you ever seen these things? They are egg molds? Egg what??? Egg molds! I saw them awhile ago and have been wanting to get them to try them out and here they are. Pretty cool looking aren’t they? You’re probably wondering why in the world anyone would want these things though, right? Well, I […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
