We’re always looking for fun things to do during the summer break. I’m lucky enough to have the summer off so I get to play with my kids all day. This is so much fun (and can be totally exhausting if we don’t have things to do.) And super expensive. Here are some things we […]

Corn Dog Cookies
July 4, 2011 by
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 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 […]

I love it when I have the foresight to buy delicious ingredients at the grocery store to have in my pantry. So on days like this when I search for something yummy (and chocolatey) to eat and don’t find anything, I can make these – Homemade Milky Way candy bars! I first saw these over […]

June 28, 2011 by
I’ve always thought of myself as a coupon shopper. I would cut them out of the Sunday paper (when I would buy one), you know, and use them. But then my friend, Renee, schooled me. What was I thinking all this time?! I wasn’t couponing… I was just casually using coupons =o) Well, not any […]

I’ve discovered a new love. It’s Garlic Aioli Sauce. Holy smokes. I could seriously eat this on everything. it has taken the place of Ranch for me (which I put on everything.) This is even better. Mind you, my breath smells absolutely horrible after I eat a cup of it on my french fries. But […]

After all the prep, the birthday party has finally arrived. Invitations went out, goody bags were made, and finally the big day arrived. Here’s what the filled goody bags looked like.

June 20, 2011 by
It’s that time again… SUMMER TIME! Oh man. This is my favorite time of year. I’m not sure if it’s because of the sunshine or the fact that I don’t work during the summer and I get to hang out with my kids everyday and play. Maybe it’s both. But the one thing I have […]

June 18, 2011 by
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 […]
[Continue reading...]Pokemon Birthday Party – the Goody Bags
June 15, 2011 by
Apparently when you are a kid, goody bags are an important part of a birthday party. (Or so I’ve been told.) We try to do pretty cool goody bags filled with things kids actually want. Oh sure, we could go to the dollar store and buy a bunch of “stuff”. But I know with my […]
