Ever since I made Peanut Butter Baklava I’ve been on a little Baklava kick. It was so dang delicious that it’s about all I think of. Yep, I’m having Baklava dreams. I daydream about it at work. When I’m making dinner all I can think about is that I need to make more and quick. […]

Who doesn’t love a good slow cooker recipe?! It’s truly the best of both all worlds – you come home from work and your house smells wonderful, you don’t have to turn on the oven for hours and there aren’t a bunch of dishes to clean up afterwards. Win, win in my book! We had […]

It was Teacher Appreciation Week last week last week and my kids wanted to take some brownies to their teachers. […]

I love pasta salad but for some reason I don’t make it nearly as much as I should. (Or would like.) I’m not sure why because it’s so easy and perfect to have in the fridge. I can take a bowl of it to work for lunch and as is right in the world. =o) […]

We had time to do one more little idea for our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. Again, simple and easy. And a free printable. Bonus! We printed out the tags from 3 Boys and a Dog (or you can find it here too.) I bought some of the Lucky Charms Bars but you could buy […]

Here’s another fun and simple idea to do for your kid’s teachers. We made some brownies and printed out these tags from Happy Home Fairy. I wasn’t quite sure how to wrap up the brownies since it’s been pretty warm here lately and the brownies had a chocolate, fudge type topping (of course.) So we […]
[Continue reading...]The Story Zymbol™ was ‘accidentally’ created when company Founder Sally Short was doodling, and wrote down the phrase ‘LOVE IS ALL U NEED’ stacking each letter on top of the next, and then adding a peace sign to complete the design. Sally then sent the design off to be cast as a ‘Love and Peace’ […]

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 […]
Because, really… isn’t everything better on a stick? Heck yeah! And how cute are these little mummy heads? I just loved them. We gobbled up our Mummy Twinkie Pops (holy smokes, were they good!) And we wanted to do another fun mummy treat this Halloween so we decided on these. Mummy Oreo Suckers Source: How […]
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. […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
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 […]
Are these the cutest cookies EVER?!?! Not to toot my own horn. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t invent this recipe. I just stole it =o) But how could I NOT steal it, right?!?! After I saw this cookie on Raina’s blog The Garden of Yum I knew this was the next cookie I was […]
I love that I found these over on Mom Endeavors. I knew immediately that this was a Halloween snack we had to make. Super easy which means little helpers can do this one all on their own! What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
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! […]
