Food, Crafts and Fun
For week 3 of the Twelve Weeks of Christmas Cookies I decided to make these bad boys. I saw them over at Sinful Southern Sweets where she called them Bad Day Brownies. I would call them Bars of Pure Awesomeness! They are quite tasty and how could they not be. They are filled with these […]

My kids and I are having so much fun decorating for Halloween. We’re crafting and baking like crazy and I am amazed how many free crafts I can find out there to make. This one was the best because it was totally free. Yep, free! We go through a ton of milk jugs but I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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! (I hate to be the first person in the neighborhood with holiday decorations up.) Is that weird? We don’t do a ton […]

Ha, ha. Get it? I crack myself up sometimes. But maybe that’s not a good thing because it usually means I’m tired and have had a hard day. I think it’s both today. Anyways… enough about that. Are these cute or what?! I first saw these last year when I was visiting my favorite store, […]

The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]

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 […]

I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]
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. Along with the Bloody Band-Aid Cookies that we made. It originally came from Katherine Marie Photography. Super simple but the […]
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 […]
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 – […]
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 love that I found these over on Mom Endeavors. I knew immediately that this was a Halloween snack we had to make. Super easy which means little helpers can do this one all on their own! What you’ll need: * stick pretzels * white melting chocolate * raisins * milk chocolate melting chocolate Arrange […]
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 […]
Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]
