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 […]

It’s that time again. Time for another Crazy Cooking Challenge. I have had so much fun participating with all the amazing bloggers in our quest for the ultimate choocolate chip cookie, the ultimate macaroni and cheese, the ultimate fudge recipe, the ultimate mashed potatoes and now the ultimate chocolate cake. 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. […]

Halloween means fun food, right? At least in our house it does. I have to spice it up a little for my kids. So how could I not make these bloody band aide cookies??!! I saw these over on Pinterest (who got them from Katherine Marie Photography.) Do you pin? If not, you are so […]
I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]
I’m not even sure I can type this post. I’m laughing too hard. ‘Cause seriously… this meal cracked me up. But even more hysterical than these totally adorable weenie men (that I found over on Casa de Luna) is the conversation that I had with my son. Are you ready for this??? My son: […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]
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 […]
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’m beginning to get a little tired of the rain around here. It’s May for heaven’s sake and it’s pouring outside. I want summer! I want to be able to open up my windows and smell the fresh air. I want to wear sandals and capris and not feel like I’m frozen. I want to […]
