Food, Crafts and Fun
I don’t know about all of you but I am so ready for Spring. Here in Oregon, though, that means rain… and lots of it. But after a lifetime spent here, we’re all used to it. At least it’s warm rain. (Is there such a thing???) So let’s get spring going, and kick off with […]

This idea is all over Pinterest and I just loved it. But what I don’t love? When I click on a picture on Pinterest and it takes me no where! It just goes to the picture. I want the website and a tutorial on how to make said awesome idea. Ugh! So I had to […]

I saw this idea years ago and thought it was pretty cute. Simple (which always catches my attention) and different. It’s a candy holder. Cute, right? I bought these little feeders at Wilco. Yep, you read that right. Feeders! They are chicken (or chick) feeders. At least I think that’s what they are called. I’m […]

I have to be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve ever had a scone. They’ve never really appealed to me. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because everyone says they are great with coffee. I don’t drink coffee. Maybe it’s because they don’t seem sweet enough, more like a buscuit. And let’s just be […]

I’m always looking for fun ideas of things to make for teacher gifts. Nothing huge, but little “you are awesome” type gifts so they know how much we appreciate them. This was perfect. Easy (super easy) and fun and made of candy. Is there anything better? Edible Easter Baskets Source: Mrs. Happy Homemaker * glue […]

We are bath product snobs in my house. No, let’s rephrase that. We’re bath product aficionados. That sounds much better right? We love things that smell wonderful and I’ve passed that love on to my kids. When it comes to body wash, we have about 15 different scents to chose from each bath. My daughter […]

A Brownie Zinger??? What the heck, right? What’s a Brownie Zinger? That’s exactly what I was thinking not so long ago. Then Ruth’s Kitchen introduced me to them. A Brownie Zinger is basically the crunchy tops of their (Ruth’s Kitchen) famous brownies. They are like a brownie and a crunchy cookie combined. You get the […]

Who knew they made Carrot Cake M&Ms. No, that’s not a question. That’s a statement. Who knew! I saw them over on Inside BruCrew Life and was intrigued. I say intrigued because I wasn’t totally sold on them right away. I mean seriously. Carrot Cake M&Ms? If you know me at all you know […]

Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]

This was one of my first posts (and it’s a pretty poorly done one.) So I thought I would repost this. It’s one of my son’s favorite meals and he asks for it all the time. I’m not sure if he likes eating the hot dogs and noodles or if it’s just the way he […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]
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 […]
