Food, Crafts and Fun
It’s Secret Recipe Club time again. Did you miss us last month? We all took a month off so Amanda (the founder of this great club) could do some revamping. But we’re back and are you ready for this one?!?! My blog assignment this month was Male Cotte – A Little Blog That Feeds a […]

A friend at work turned 30 this year. 30! That feels like forever ago. But she was kind of stressing that she was getting so old. It just made me laugh =o) This is what we made her for her birthday. Cute, right? I found this idea over on the Cricut website. I just love […]

This was one of those “who knew” dinners. I mean, I knew I would like it but who knew my kids would absolutely love it! My daughter’s exact words… “if I could Mom, I’d marry it.” Ha! Not too far from us (well, almost 40 minutes, but who’s counting) is the best Japanese market ever […]

Whenever we go to Dairy Queen (which isn’t very often) my son orders the Brownie Earthquake Sundae. It’s ice cream, brownies, hot fudge and crushed up Oreos. It’s pretty much heaven in a bowl. This morning I asked him what we should make for a dessert and he said “Brownie Earthquake”. I told him we […]

How much fun are these? I’m thinking these are going to be little party favors at my daughter’s birthday party in March. She loved them that much! And who could blame her. I’m sporting one on right now =o) I first saw them on the Family Fun website. (Have I mentioned how much I love […]

Wow! That’s a lot of ultimates. […]

We kind of have a thing for rice crispy treats. And cereal. We love cereal. It’s kind of ridiculous. But did you ever watch Seinfeld? Remember Jerry’s kitchen and the huge array of cereal boxes he always had? That’s our house =o) I love choices and you never know what kind of cereal you may […]

Sweet Anne Design made these absolutely adorable labels for frappuccino bottles. I just love them! How can I pass them up? We made Halloween frappuccino bottles that I just loved. A co-worker has been giving me her bottles so I have a ton of them. So this was a no brainer for me. Of course […]

We have a lot of playdates with friends. It’s wonderful! We go to my work and the kids run through the school screaming, playing tag. They run until they can’t run anymore and then we make a craft. I love that both my kids love to make crafts. And this was definitely a fun one! […]

My kids have been invited to a birthday party … for a dog. Yep, you read that right. For a dog! I’d better be careful how much sarcasm I put in there. I would have totally done that for my dogs when they were alive. They were my first babies and I spoiled them rotten. […]

Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]
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 […]
I mentioned in my last post for our Faux Deviled Eggs that I love April Fools Day and all the fun food ideas. Well, here’s another super cute idea. How about making a Chicken Not Pie for dinner for your kids. Did you catch that? Chicken Not Pie. I know, clever right? (Or were you […]
My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]
My Mom called me the other day and asked if I would bring a fruit tray to the family gathering we were having. To me, this was an open invitation for some fruit creativity. I mean, I could have just sliced up some fruit and plopped it on a plate. But really??? That’s not how […]

I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
