The party planning continues. I made some of these Pokeball cookies and my son thought they were super cool. We are thinking we would make more and put them in the goody bags. They were easy to make since the frosting pattern is a simple one. I’m not a great froster. (That’s a word, right?) […]

For months now I have been thinking about all the cool Lego things that I could make for my son’s birthday: food ideas, treat bags, etc. I love all the planning that goes into my kid’s birthday parties. Well, I love seeing their faces, I think that’s more like it. We had a completely successful […]

I’ve been wanting to make this ever since I saw the picture on the Fall/Winter 2008 Season’s Best cookbook from Pampered Chef. Well, it took me almost 3 years but I finally made it. And now I’m thumping myself in the head and thinking of how many of these I could have eaten in the […]

I told myself that I wasn’t going to make any sweets this weekend. Not that I don’t crave them daily. I just thought I’d spend the time cleaning instead of making another mess. Well, that went out the window as soon as I looked through my June/July issue of Taste of Home Magazine. They had […]

Mickey over at Monster Mama calls this Texas Chicken Brittle. But that name scares me =o) I’m not sure what I would want to call it but let me tell you – it’s sweet, it’s salty, and it’s a whole lot of yum. Look at the ingredients, how could it not taste delicious? But maybe […]

Have you ever seen this before? Is it the strangest thing ever?!?! It looks like it should be in some Star Wars movie or something. (Or do I just not get out enough???) I saw this over at the local fruit and veggie stand. It’s awesome! (The stand, that it.) I wasn’t sure what it […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
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: […]
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’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 […]

One of the best things I’ve done with my kids is taking them camping. I was a little afraid the first time we went. It was just me and my two, very young, children. We had so much fun. Now, 5 years later, it’s the highlight of our summer when we go camping. We load […]
My kids and I watch a craft show every Saturday morning called Donna’s Day. Have you heard of it? It’s fantastic. She does crafts and recips and all sorts of great things for you to do with your kids. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are for the more Martha Stewart Mom’s out […]
