Food, Crafts and Fun
One of the things I love about summer is going camping with my kids. We’ve been going for the past 5 summers and we just love it. It’s one of those “I am woman, hear me roar” types of moments for me. I’m a single Mom and have been since my kids were 1 and […]

Are you the type of woman who has one purse and that’s what you always use? Or do you own several purses and change them with your outfit or mood? I have a couple of purses but I only use one until I’m tired of it and then I put it in my closet and […]

My Mom recently turned me on to the King Arthur website. It’s my new favorite! So when my daughter had a friend stay the night I had a good excuse to make something wonderful for breakfast. Not that I wouldn’t make something wonderful for my kids alone. But it gave me another excuse to make […]

I love Fair food. I’m not sure what it is about it. Maybe it’s all the grease (cringe). But it’s tasty! Funnel Cakes are in that category of deliciousness for me. Who doesn’t like fried dough covered in sugar?! (That really wasn’t a question. If you don’t, please keep that to yourself.) My son had […]

Who doesn’t love getting flowers? I haven’t met a person yet. Flowers are just so cheerful (not to mention beautiful!) I have a lot of family who live out of state and I am constantly struggling with what to send them on holidays and birthdays. I can come up with tons of ideas but then […]

My two favorite things, crafting and giveaways! (Man, throw a brownie in there too and I’d be in heaven!) =o) Kelly Kits is an amazing company geared towards art play. But how is Kelly Kits different from the other crafting kits available on the internet? Kelly Kits is a “club”, for lack of a better […]

My kids and I just love root beer floats. I mean, seriously. Root beer and ice cream? Heaven! I just love the way the ice cream freezes the root beer. Oh yum! So as soon as I saw this recipe over on Dreaming of White Chocolate I ran to my somewhat local baking store, The […]

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 […]
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: * […]
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 […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
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. […]
