Food, Crafts and Fun
It’s never a good sign when it’s 8:30 am and I’m almost finished with a diet Coke. (Or maybe it is, I guess it depends how you look at it.) =o) Yesterday morning I was woken up at 6:00 am to “Mommy, mommy. Knock knock. Mommy, knock knock.” “Mommy, you’re supposed to say who’s […]
[Continue reading...]My daughter is turning 7 today! Holy smokes. Where did the time go?!?! So in honor of her (and to try out the new rafflecopter widget) we’re having a giveaway! Yep, one lucky reader will win $10 into their paypal account. That’s 10 free dollars. I know it doesn’t seem like a lot but we’re getting […]

It’s no secret that I love chocolate… and chocolate and raspberry together? Oh man. I’m hooked! I absolutely love that combination. When I made our chocolate covered raspberry jellies I was in heaven. But they were a little messy to make so I wanted to try something a little different. Last year we made homemade […]

Sometimes I wonder if I make these delicious breakfast treats for my kids or for me. For argument sake… we’re going to say I make these for my kids. Yah, that’s what I do. And it’s no secret that we love pancakes. The cinnamon roll pancakes we made were amazing. My kids request them […]

This week is Classified Employees Week in the schools. Classified employees are all staff who work in the schools who aren’t licensed teachers. That’s a TON of people! And we can’t NOT celebrate them! They are the cooks who work in a hot kitchen everyday and the instructional assistants who help all of our students […]

Did you know that today is Platypus Day? Yep, you read that right… platypus day! Agent P. is being celebrated today and we’re helping him. Why? Well, because we love Phineus and Ferb. That’s why. Because who doesn’t love Perry??? If I were super talented (which I’m not), I would create one (or more) of […]

I had all these great plans this year to make some things for Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Oh yeah. We were going to make some cookies and snacks and maybe a craft or two. Then what happened??? No really, I’m asking… what happened??? Now it’s the day before and we’ve done nothing. Crud. But we still wanted […]
[Continue reading...]Every 3 or 4 weeks some friends at work and I get together and we make cards. Each of us designs one and then brings the materials for everyone to make the same card. It’s awesome! It’s relaxing and fun and we all leave with beautiful cards that we can mail out. I just love […]

This was my son’s request, pancakes with sprinkles. Where did I go wrong? Oh wait… where did I go right?!?! That’s my boy! Just like his Mom. =o) It’s breakfast but just pimped up a little. Kind of like our Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Amazing! So I searched Pinterest (my new food and craft searching tool) […]

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 […]
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 […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
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 […]
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 […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]
Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
