Food, Crafts and Fun
We just loved this cute Valentine idea when we saw it over on Make It Do. What a perfect gift for my kid’s teachers, don’t you think? Have you noticed that we are into all this corny stuff? I like the goofy sayings. These were so easy to make (double bonus!) We used Rolos (my […]

I just thought these were too cute to not make. Little Gnome kisses! The idea came from my favorite kid friendly go to craft site, Family Fun. I just love that site (but I’ve said that a thousand times.) They were easy to make (minus the burns from my darn glue gun.) All you need […]

Are you a scrapbooker? I am. I love it. I’ve been scrapbooking for years. It’s totally therapeutic for me to sit there and “zone out” and get into my creative groove. =o) The one part about scrapbooking that I don’t like, though, is the amount of “stuff” that you have to have. There’s papers and […]

I absolutely love casseroles! I don’t know what it is about them, but they rock my world. But combine this love with a small amount of pickiness and I have a hard time finding really good casseroles that I love. When a co-worker emailed me this recipe I quickly read all the ingredients and did […]

We’re on the search for the perfect Valentine’s Dad candy or cookie. Something to mail to my nephew. At Christmas time I told him that he was officially a member of the Dessert of the Month Club. That means Aunt Erin has to send a dessert to him every month. The only problem is, he […]

It seems crazy that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. Heck, it was just Christmas! I have a love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I love doing things with my kids and making crafts and things like that. But the adult part of Valentine’s Day kind of makes me want to barf. I know. I’m sorry to […]

Bacon + cheese + cresent dough = heaven in my book. These were so easy to make and they were so good!!! I was kind of amazed at just how good they were. I ate the entire batch. Really. I’m not just saying that. I ate the entire batch! Yikes! I got this recipe from […]

I saw this great idea on Pinterest. Doesn’t everything come from Pinterest these days? It’s so easy and I absolutely love it! Okay, back to the idea. Scrabble tile coasters! How cute are these?!?! Do I say that about everything? I do. Apparently I’m pretty free with my love of food and crafts. Well rounded […]

My kids LOVE soft pretzels dipped in cinnamon and sugar. When we go to the factory outlet mall, that’s our treat. We don’t go very often though. And they ask for them… often! So I googled soft pretzel bites and found this recipe on Two Peas and Their Pod. It looked reasonable. (Not super easy […]

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
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, […]
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 […]
A friend of mine at work bought this amazingly awesome ice cube tray mold for me. I thought it was a giant compliment when she said “I saw this and thought of you.” Seriously! How cool is that! I love it when people see weird but extremely cool things and actually think of me. What […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
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 love that I found these over on Mom Endeavors. I knew immediately that this was a Halloween snack we had to make. Super easy which means little helpers can do this one all on their own! What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
