Food, Crafts and Fun
I have a confession to make. I’ve gained a few pounds over the months eating all the delicious treats my kids and I make. Yes, it’s true. But here’s another confession, I’m kind of a stress eater. So it hasn’t helped that my life has been a tad bit stressful for the past nine years. […]

I absolutely love trail mix. But I have a confession… I don’t like the trail mix with dried fruit and all the “health” stuff. I know, weird, right? Well, that’s me. So when I saw a sweet and salty trail mix on Inside BruCrew Life I knew I wanted to make something similar. It looked […]

We sent out the Lego Invitations And made the Lego goody bags We made our Lego Cookies And now we’re ready to party! We are fortunate enough to be able to have parties and craft days at my work (which we love). Lots of running around (and lots of noise) and it’s not in my […]

I had high hopes of making the world’s coolest Lego cookies known to man. Well, that didn’t totally happen but my kids were pretty happy with what I finally decided I could (and had the time) to make. I found this idea over on Cake Central. I think they’re pretty cute. I used Sue’s recipe […]

Do you love apple fritters? My Dad does! When he heads to Washington for a shoot he tells me about this amazing bakery/restaurant that he stops at and orders an apple fritter the size of a dinner plate. It makes my mouth water! So when I saw this recipe a year ago (yes, a year […]

I love cheese. I do. I love it all. Well, not the fat free cheese. That doesn’t do it for me. If I’m going to eat it I want it to be delicious and tasty and make my tummy happy. If you’re a cheese lover like me then you’ll love these tasty crackery treats. We […]

Goody bags are an important part of a birthday party (so say my kids.) I love making goody bags! And these were so much fun to make. (Although it’s getting more difficult as my kids get older to come up with great ideas.) I don’t like all the cheap, useless things in goodie bags. My […]

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 […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
I can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
I was feeling pretty guilty about my lack of party creativity for my daughter. The necklaces were pretty cute and I knew the girls would think they were fun but I was feeling bad for the boys. Plus I have this whole over-acheiver thing that I deal with. I have a hard time settling for […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
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 […]
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 […]
Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
