Food, Crafts and Fun
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 […]

We needed another fun gift idea to give to the school counselor at my kid’s school. Being a school counselor is a lot different from being a teacher. We (I say we because I’m a school counselor) get to deal with all the “yuck” in the school and it can be both rewarding as heck, and […]

School is almost out here in Oregon. I’m not sure who’s more excited in my house, me or the kids? I get the summer off so I’m pretty sure it’s me. But we wanted to send off my kid’s teachers with a little something this year that says “thanks for all you do”. We found […]

This time of year means lots of things for us: the end of the school year, summer vacation, and my son’s birthday. I’m pretty sure for my son this time of year is heaven – a trifecta of awesomeness, if you will. This year’s birthday party theme is Nerf Wars. He’s turning 10 so we […]

Okay, first things first. What do you think? Yowza! It’s such a different look. I feel so… fancy =o) For my birthday my Mom gave me a blog makeover. Yeah for me! What an amazing gift! And Jeni over at The Blog Maven did such a great job. I can’t even thank my Mom and […]

There’s just something about miniature food that makes me happy. I love it. I think it’s because when I eat miniature food I have this false sense of eating less. You know, if you ate 3 full sized cookies that would be bad, but if you ate 10 miniature cookies it wouldn’t seem so bad. […]

I’ve never really given gluten much thought until recently. We all know people who are gluten intolerant but to truly think about what gluten is and what foods contain gluten? Yikes. I was shocked. Very simply put, gluten is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grains (barley and rye.) […]

It’s the third Monday of the month. You know what that means. It’s Secret Recipe Club reveal day. Yeah! I love this day! Call me a dork but I look forward to this day all month. It’s fun. It brings me joy. Don’t judge. My blog assignment this month was Julie’s Eats & Treats. With […]

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 […]
Did you read the title and think “what the heck?” If you did, you’re not alone. When I first heard of roasting Starburst candies over the campfire I was pretty skeptical. Number one, there’s no chocolate so that usually rules me out. And number two, what the heck? How would that even work??? But when […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
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 […]
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 […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
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’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. […]
