Food, Crafts and Fun
School starts for us on Tuesday… Tuesday! I’m not really sure I’m ready to go back to work and have the kids go back to school. I am… and I’m not. You stay at home Mom’s understand that one, right? But I’m really going to miss the summer and my time with my kids. We […]

School is about to start here. Ugh! Not that I don’t want my kids to go to school. That’s the great part. But that also means I have to go back to work. I’m not quite ready for that part. (Big sigh!) I wanted to do something for my kid’s teachers but I really didn’t […]

We’ve been on a cinnamon roll kick lately. Can you ever get enough? I’m swaying towards “no way!” I think my kids would agree with me =o) But it’s a lot of work making homemade cinnamon rolls. Don’t get me wrong, they are fantastic. But sometimes I don’t have a couple of hours to spend […]

We love cinnamon rolls. No wait, I don’t think that’s extreme enough. Let me try that again. We LOVE cinnamon rolls!!! If my kids would, I think they would eat them everyday for breakfast. But I’d like to think I’m a better Mom than that =o) I was trying to think what to make when […]

I got an email from my Mom awhile back telling me about a fun thing she found. It was The Secret Recipe Club. Intriguing, right? Her email didn’t say much, just had the link and said “let’s do this.” Well, how could I pass up that?!?! So I clinked on the link and was hooked […]

Every time we go to OMSI and play in the children’s activity room with slime the kids say “we need to make a bunch of that at home.” But then we saw this post and I new I couldn’t put it off any longer. (Especially since my daughter was sitting right next to me and […]

A couple of weeks ago I joined The Secret Recipe Club. It’s a group of bloggers/recipe lovers who sign up and get assigned a blog. Then we make something from that blog and write about it. Fun right? My first post is scheduled for this Monday (the 22nd) but then yesterday I received an email […]

It’s really no secret that we love Disney’s Family Fun Magazine. You’ve heard of it, right? Of course you have. Well, a couple of months ago they contacted me and asked if they could include a picture of Ellie and a little blurb about our Carrot Patch Cookies that we made (from their magazine.) And […]

My “To Make” list is huge. And it kind of cracks me up because some of the things on my “to make” list aren’t even realistic. I mean seriously, I can’t sew. I wasn’t born with that gene. So for me to save it and actually think I am going to make it is, well, […]

Yeah, you read that right – Dreamy Oreo Brownies. Don’t they just sound dreamy? Okay, maybe not yet. But wait until you find out what’s inside of them. Then you’re going to think dreamy! As soon as I saw these over on Cookies and Cups I knew I was going to love them. But then […]

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 – […]
I remember making this years and years ago for a friend’s children. It was pretty cool (I thought) so my kids and I thought we would make it again for some friends. It’s super easy and it’s fun to do! What you will need: * any kind of clear bowl. We used a fish bowl […]
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 […]
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 […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
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 […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
