Food, Crafts and Fun
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]

My daughter just turned six. She’s in kindergarten and in my opinion, she’s as smart as a whip. But do all Mom’s say that? But I’m serious. She really is too smart for her own good sometimes =o) She’s learning how to read now and it’s amazing how quickly she is catching on to all […]

It’s almost here – St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not super into St. Patrick’s Day but as a Mom I try to celebrate (and educate) my kids about most holidays and special events. That’s important, right? I wasn’t quite sure what to make for this special day. St. Patty’s Day sugar cookies are always a […]

I was feeling pretty guilty about my lack of party creativity for my daughter. The necklaces were pretty cute and I knew the girls would think they were fun but I was feeling bad for the boys. Plus I have this whole over-acheiver thing that I deal with. I have a hard time settling for […]

I think I must be craving Mexican food. First there was the Touchdown Taco Dip and then the Taco Soup and now this… Taco Rice and Beans. Yum! Again, it has nothing to do with the fact that I can plop a big blop of sour cream on this =o) I found this great recipe […]
[Continue reading...]My son made a Valentine for me at school. I know it’s not Valentine’s Day anymore but I’m just getting around to post this. (I’m a little behind!) It’s my favorite Valentine’s Day card of all time! I know we all feel this way as parents, but man, I just wonder every single day how […]

It’s been one of those months for us. The weather is cold (as it is for everyone) but lots of family and personal things going on right now. So comfort food for me is… well, comforting. You would think that I would crave sweets when I’m feeling frumpy or sad, wouldn’t you? I mean, sheesh, […]

Thank you for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers for my family. It’s been quite a week. Can you believe I haven’t baked anything in 2 weekends??? That’s got to be a record for us! Good thing I had this one done a couple of weeks ago… How is it that most of my posts […]

It feels a little unreal that I am even sitting here typing this. The reality that my Grandfather passed away on Monday hasn’t even sunk in. So I’m typing this in a bit of a fog. Wondering what to write and how to pay proper tribute to a man that was more than just a […]

We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]
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 […]

I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
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 – […]
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 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 son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]
