Food, Crafts and Fun
I love snail mail. I love getting it! I love sending it! I love everything about mail (except all the bills that I get. There’s nothing I like about that!) With all the changing technology it’s so easy to just send a text or an email. I’m guilty of that. But I’ve always been a […]

Well, crud. I lied. I thought we were done doing our Easter baking but when I saw the recipe for Creamy No Bake Mints over on For Such A Time As This we just had to make them. I love chocolate and mint together. And they are kind of Eater-y, right? I mean, I dyed […]

This might be the last of our Easter treats for this year. But seriously, don’t hold me to that. Sometimes we just bake on a whim so there might be more =o) So guess where I saw this cute idea. Give up? It’s another Family Fun magazine idea. I am totally in love with that […]

We’ve started making Easter goodies at our house (can you tell???). Any excuse for us to bake and I’m in! But it was Spring Break two weeks ago so my daughter wanted to help me do some baking. My son wanted to help “kind of” he said. But not if it interfered with his Wii […]

I don’t even need to tell you why I made these, right? I mean, look at them. How could they not be delicious? They have all the right ingredients: cookie, Cadbury Cream Egg, frosting and M&Ms. I’m drooling just typing that. They were pretty easy to make and I can’t thank Katrina enough for posting […]

Do you dye Easter eggs? Some people do and others (I’ve heard) think it’s just a big mess so they avoid it. We are one of those that do. My kids love dying Easter eggs. But what the heck do you do with all those eggs? We hard boil some. My son loves hard […]

I love Easter. I love everything about Easter. Call me crazy, but I do. Now that April Fool’s Day is over I can concentrate 100% on Easter. Yeah! My kids have already asked when we are going to dye Easter eggs. We might do that today in fact.One thing I can’t do is create things […]

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 saw this recipe awhile ago on the Pillsbury website (here) and knew I had to make it. I kind of have a thing for s’mores. Or maybe it’s just chocolate and marshmallows together. Either way, I love them. And this recipe surely didn’t disappoint! It was quite tasty (as I sit here and type […]

There are just certain blogs that I love. The recipes are good, I enjoy their sense of humor and the recipes are good. Did I already mention that one? Monster Mama is one of those blogs for me. I just love what Mickey makes and has to say. So when I saw this recipe on […]

Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s no secret that I love fun food. I love making it. I love serving it to my kids. It makes me smile. So this was right up my alley. And it’s kind of Halloween-y, right? Kind of? This recipe came out of the cookbook Simple 1-2-3 Cooking for Kids. Ingredients: * Jumbo past shells […]
I have a confession to make. You know those little recipe books that you always see in the check out stand? They are usually themed – Halloween, Christmas, cookies, crockpot recipes. You know the ones. I am addicted to them. Yep, I said it out loud. I love them. I love looking through them and […]
To continue our April Fools Day fun food extravaganza, we have a simple but fun one for you today – Peanut Butter Potstickers. They don’t totally look like potstickers, but my kids didn’t care. They loved them. And they were so simple to make. Thanks Party Pinching for this great idea. What you’ll need: * […]
I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
