My neighborhood has never done the Boo-ing thing so I thought I’d get it started this year. (At least I don’t think we have. Know one has ever booed me so they better not be doing it without me.) Because, have I mentioned that I love Halloween??? I’m not sure if I have mentioned that […]

If you haven’t guessed by now, I love brownies. Well, maybe everything chocolate. But brownies are right up there with donuts. (Oh man, don’t get me started on my love for donuts.) So when I saw this recipe over on Tiffanee’s blog One Crazy Cookie I about flipped. The pictures looked so darn good. I […]

When we were driving home from school this week we noticed some of the neighbors had put up their Halloween decorations. Yeah! That gives us the green light to get to the decorating!

What? Booger? Yep, you read that right. Booger. This is Booger Pie. Seriously! I didn’t make it up. (I know my co-workers are all thinking I made this name up but I didn’t. Really!) I saw this great post over at The Speckled Dog and had to make it. I mean really. How could I […]

I don’t know about you but I love the taste of white chocolate and raspberries together. It’s heaven in my mouth. Except for one small problem. I don’t like raspberries. The seeds get stuck in my teeth and then I have to pick them out and I feel like Gramma from The Beverly Hillbillies. It’s […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]

My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
