Food, Crafts and Fun
Do your kids watch iCarly on Nickelodeon? My kids love it. One of the things that Spencer (one of the characters) makes is spaghetti tacos. My kids have been asking me to make them for some time but I just never did. They didn’t sound all that appetizing to me. Spaghetti in a taco shell? […]

I don’t know how I got so lucky. When I started blogging I never dreamed people would actually read my posts. I can’t believe how lucky I am. You all are so amazing and give me such great inspiration! I have been truly blessed with so many awards it makes my head swell =o) I […]

Yep, you read that right – Cheryl’s Stinky Cheese Ball. I got the recipe from Cheryl and she calls this her Stinky Cheese Ball. I work with Cheryl. She is a hoot! She is dry and sarcastic and the right amount of crude. I just love her. Twice a year she brings this to work […]

Christmas is over. I can hardly believe it. All the preparation and anticipation and it’s done so quickly. We had a great Christmas. It wasn’t super eventful but that’s how we like it. We played games and hung out with family. My kids said it was their best Christmas ever. That was all I needed. […]

Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t believe it’s here! The year has flown by. All the preparation and anticipation and it’s finally here. My kids are bouncing they are so excited! I haven’t done my blogging justice this holiday season. With both of my kids getting sick and me falling we haven’t done nearly as much […]

I saw these and thought they were pretty darn cute. I had been looking for a craft to do with my kids at our Christmas party but needed something fairly easy (there will be little ones there) but not “dorky” that the 7 year olds would like it too. A task harder than it sounds. […]

I can’t believe the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies Blog Hop is over. Twelve weeks! I have had so much fun baking along with all of you. It’s been great to see everyone’s creations and find so many new recipes that I can’t wait to try. I’m honored to have been a part of this […]

Christmas is going to be here in less that 2 weeks and I have nothing. No new craft ideas, no new recipes. I’m scrambling around trying to fit everything in before I implode from the stress of it all. I know, how sad is that, right? Work is so crazy right now. I work in […]

Have you ever been to Shari’s Restaurant? I’m not sure if it’s a local type chain or if it’s all around the US. We don’t go there often but awhile ago they were having a deal where kids ate free on the weekends. Needless to say, we were there every weekend while that deal was […]

Every year at my work we do a Christmas Fudge Throwdown. The staff room is filled with different types of fudge and the staff vote for their favorite. It’s all in good fun but some of the staff get pretty into it. By some of the staff I mean me. I’m the one who starts […]

I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]
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 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 […]
So what do you think? Have we been doing it up, Thanksgiving style? (Maybe not if you’re a grown up. But we don’t really have one of those in our house.) =o) But my kids have loved all the fun treats we’ve made so far. We tried our first Turkey Cookie. Then we sugar-ed it […]

I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
