Food, Crafts and Fun
Let me first start this by saying I’m not a lucky person. Things don’t just fall into my lap. I work hard for what I have. I wish I were one of those people that are just lucky. You know who I’m talking about. They have a great job because they were in the right […]

A friend of mine at work bought this amazingly awesome ice cube tray mold for me. I thought it was a giant compliment when she said “I saw this and thought of you.” Seriously! How cool is that! I love it when people see weird but extremely cool things and actually think of me. What […]

The first week of school is always so hectic. I know for me it is. So I decided to wait until the second week before we gave my kids’ teachers their back to school gifts. We made them these cute pencil holders. They were really easy and didn’t cosy much at all. What you’ll need: […]

When I saw this amazing recipe over at Sinful Southern Sweets I knew I had to make them. I love brownies with cream cheese frosting. It’s a weakness! And with a third layer? Pure heaven. So I made a pan of these thinking I’d take them to my first day back to work. But I […]

Holy smokes. It’s the first day of school already. Where did the time go?! If you read my last post you know I’m not super excited about it being school time again. Oh sure, I love my job and all but come on. Summer time rocks! So it’s back to the grind today so I […]

I can hardly believe it’s about time for school to start up. My first reaction is “ugh”. Because this also means I’m back to work now. Yep. I had to go back to work this week. No more summer break. No more sleeping in until 6:30am (yep, that’s sleeping in for us.) No more crafts […]

In keeping with my whole s’more theme this summer I thought I’d make these. I’m not sure what to call it so we’ll call it a s’more brownie pie. I though they were pretty darn tasty but the real test was if my kids liked them. I don’t like to make many desserts that my […]

We love summer time! Have I mentioned that before? Not just because the sun is shining and we get to play outside (although that’s pretty awesome!) We love it because we get to stay home all summer and play! I love it! So on one of our camping trips this summer we stumbled upon a […]

In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]

Owls and Halloween. Who ever decided these two things go together? Well, if you google it (which, of course, we did) it goes way back. Like, way, way back. According to Haunted Bay, the Romans were one of the first cultures that viewed owls as spooky creatures. The owl symbolized death, doom, or destruction and […]

I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
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 […]
The other day my son said to me “Mom, we should have every Saturday dinner a fun dinner. You know, like the Aliens and race cars that we had.” Bless him. I love that they want to help me in the kitchen and eat fun things. So we decided to make something similar to our […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
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? […]
