Food, Crafts and Fun
No, that’s not our Saturday morning breakfast, it’s a postcard. Yep, a postcard! But not the flat, semi boring, postcards. This is like a big, 3D, super cool postcard. And yes, you mail it just like that. When we made our Slice of Birthday Cake postcard I knew I wanted to make more fun things […]

Any recipe with the words pound and cake in it and I’m in. We love pound cake. I think my favorite recipe is still Grandmother Paul’s Sour Cream Pound Cake. It’s a family favorite and I make it often, but I’m constantly looking for a new pound cake recipe. Can you ever have too many […]

Who doesn’t love a good Rice Crispy Treat? And when I say good, I mean homemade, not store bought. The store bought Rice Crispy Treats taste so artificial to me. I know what you’re thinking. Artificial? Yes, artificial, weird, waxy. But homemade? Pure deliciousness! What could possibly make a Rice Crispy Treat taste better? Well, chocolate […]

Are you a camper? I assume everyone goes camping so it always surprises me when I hear people say they don’t. Being out under the stars with the smell of trees and a campfire are like therapy to me. When my kids were young I took them camping because it was something we could do […]

Summer for me and my kids means camping. Lots of camping! Unfortunately this year it’s not happening. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I wasn’t sure what the future would look like, and how I would feel this summer. So I cancelled our camping reservations and figured we’d stay close to home this summer. […]

After over three months of not baking, I’m back! Sorry for my absence. I’ve been dealing with some health issues and baking was just too much for me. In April I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s been a turbulent couple of months, to say the least. I’m tired… all the time. And for some […]

I’m sure my co-workers think I’m a dork always giving them gifts with puns on them. You know, the “donut you know how much I care about you?” or the “Here’s to a germ free year” gifts. They make me laugh so they’re stuck with them. And working in a school kind of gives me […]

My daughter loves all the emoji stuff out there. And, who am I kidding, me too. I’m pretty sure it’s not possible for me to send a text without an emoji in it. What? I work in a middle school. Give me a break. Here are some cute Emoji Lunch Box notes to put in […]

My kids love chewy chocolate chip granola bars. They’re easy to put in their backpack or lunch and it doesn’t really matter if they get squished a little. They’re still delicious. So why not make them? Homemade is just so much better than store bought in just about everything. Well, except clothes. I’m not making […]

Life has taken a crazy turn in our house. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on April 4th and have been living in a daze ever since. My kids have been my main focus for so many years that I worry about them almost more than what will happen to me. They’re stressed, rightfully so, […]

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 […]
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
I can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
I am totally loving all of the great April Fool’s Day things people have posted the past couple of weeks! I love the pranks but mostly I love the fun food. You didn’t miss our Fakin’ and Eggs I hope! (We’re all about fun food at our house!) So we wanted to pack in two […]

We have another fun and delicious Halloween treat for you today. Aren’t these little guys cute? I’m not sure what my favorite part of them is: the delicious white chocolate coating? Or the mouth watering Oreo Cream Cheese filling? Maybe it’s a tie. We found this recipe over on the The Recipe Critic PrintMummy Cookie […]
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. […]
