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 […]

I just love that word – phalanges. It’s fun to say. But technically this bling isn’t on the phalanges. That would imply that it’s actually on the fingers and toes. But that’s a much “funner” word to say than toenails or fingernails, right? So we’ll stick with phalanges. I realize it’s not summer time anymore […]

We started putting all of the Halloween craft supplies away last weekend. But before we did we had to make one last project. I saw this over at the Family Fun site. I don’t know why I don’t go there whenever I am looking for a craft to do. They have such great ideas! Materials […]

One of my all time favorite cookies is shortbread cookies. I love the buttery deliciousness of them and could eat way too many of them. But top them with milk chocolate and I’m in trouble. So when my kids and I found this awesome Wilton pan at my favorite store (that would be The Decorette […]

Are you tired of cookies yet? Nah. Me neither. Who gets tired of cookies? I mean, really! My son and I were on a search last weekend for a particular cookie that he wanted me to make. (That post will come later.) When we were googling we came across this recipe. It sounded so yummy […]

I’ve seen a lot of pumpkin variations out there in blog land. There are duct tape ones (which were pretty cool by the way) and glitter ones and painted and jeweled ones. I’m kind of the traditional orange pumpkin kind of gal. I like the carved basic pumpkin pumpkins. So I didn’t really pay too […]

There are a billion reasons why I love Halloween! Dressing up in costumes, watching all the little kids get excited, all of the decorations and festivities going on and the plethora of Halloween candy out there. I love Halloween candy!

I love Halloween! Have I mentioned that? Yep, love it! And how could I not when this is what decorates my kitchen? Cool, right?! Dirty Q-Tips! Ha! I saw these over on Pinterest too.

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 […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are comfort food to me. I love them! My kids love them! And I love that my kids love them! But I wanted to kid it up a little. (We eat meatloaf a lot.) So I made my regular meatloaf. It’s nothing uber fancy. I buy the spice packet at the […]

What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
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, […]
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 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 […]
