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) […]

Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]
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. […]
Tag! I’m it! Yeah! I love to play games. I’m a kid at heart. I’ll admit it. So when Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie tagged me, I was thrilled and honored. Thrilled because, like I said, I like to play =o) And honored because I love her blog. She posts the best recipes! What […]
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 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 […]

What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]
