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 […]

Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
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 […]
This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]
Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
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 […]
Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
I mentioned in my last post for our Faux Deviled Eggs that I love April Fools Day and all the fun food ideas. Well, here’s another super cute idea. How about making a Chicken Not Pie for dinner for your kids. Did you catch that? Chicken Not Pie. I know, clever right? (Or were you […]
