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: * […]

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 decided that April Fools Day is one of my favorite holidays. Sounds a little strange maybe but fun food and me? Yep, we go together like peanut butter and jelly. And April Fools Day screams fun food. So what do you think about our Deviled Eggs? Who doesn’t love deviled eggs, right? Oh […]
The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! I told you that I was going to make dinner time more fun and exciting. How fun is this idea?!?! My kids loved it! This idea came from the cookbook Just For Kids Collection. (If you missed my Octo-Dog post you MUST check it out here!) Here’s […]
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’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 […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]
We have another fun and delicious Halloween treat for you today. Aren’t these little guys cute? I’m not sure what my favorite part of them is: the delicious white chocolate coating? Or the mouth watering Oreo Cream Cheese filling? Maybe it’s a tie. We found this recipe over on the The Recipe Critic PrintMummy Cookie […]
