Food, Crafts and Fun
I am a huge lover of smelly things. Wait, let me rephrase this. I am a huge lover of things that smell wonderful. I love perfume and lotions and body wash and candles and everything else that smells delicious. I’ve passed my love down to my kids, which I absolutely love. When my daughter is […]

One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
[Continue reading...]What does your purse look like? Is it old and ratty? It is too small to fit everything in it that you want? It is an endless pit of “stuff” that weighs 25 pounds? Being a Mom I am constantly amazed at what I find in my purse. Or constantly asked “Mom, can you hold […]

I just love wonderful smelling, pampering products! Whether it’s lotions, perfume, body wash or chapstick, if it smells good, I love it! There are so many areas that I “scrimp” on when it comes to me. I spend my money on my kids (I’m pretty sure I’m not alone here) but this is the one […]

What is the number one thing about carrying a purse that you hate? For me, that’s an easy question to answer – putting my purse on the floor when I go places. How gross is that! But what do you do with your purse when you go to a restaurant? Or what about when you […]
[Continue reading...]Del Monte Fruit Cup Snacks are a must in my house. My kids love them and I feel good about packing them in their lunches. Del Monte peaches and Mandarin Oranges have always my kids favorite… until now. Del Monte has just introduced two new flavors to their already delicious line up: Del Monte Diced […]

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 […]

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, […]
[Continue reading...]Yep, you read that right, Mr. Lid. What the heck is Mr. Lid? Well, let’s start from the beginning. We’re all friends, right? So I can share with you all what my plastic container cupboard looks like, right? No judging, folks! I know, right? I straighten it and organize and do all of that […]

October has been an absolute blur for me. I hate that. My family has been dealing with the loss of my Grandmother so this month’s Secret recipe Club reveal day seemed to just appear out of no where. good thing I had my recipe picked out weeks ago from my assigned blog Life’s Simple Measures. […]

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. […]
Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]
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 […]
In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]
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 […]
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. […]
Oh, the pressure. My son’s request to make “fun food” every Saturday night for dinner is already getting to me. How do people come up with all these ideas??? Well, however they do it, I’m just grateful they do. That way I can copy them and my kids think I’m amazing =o) Jill over at […]
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 […]
