DIY Kid Crafts

Cereal Box Car Caddy

Looking for a project to do with your children? A birthday party activity for children who are a little older?  This craft is fun, simple and ends up being quite useful to boot. For younger children they’re fun to have in the car, doctor’s office , airplane , church or even a restaurant. If you’re a crafty or […]

Shamrock Brownie Cut Outs

I pride myself on trying to be a fun person.  That doesn’t mean that I’m fun all the time mind you.  You catch me from Halloween to Christmas and I will be on my “A” game, but when it comes to the other holidays, I struggle.  I was trying to decide what the equivalent of […]

Following a Rainbow Trail

Imagine coming home from an errand with your kiddos in the car… It’s March 17th.  Wait.  What the?….  Is that the end of a rainbow sticking out of your front door?  Yes.  Yep,  that is definitely a rainbow!  What’s going on here? You better be hopping out of that car to see what shenanigans have been going on while you were gone.

Top O’ The Mornin’ To Ya!

When my kiddies were small, a leprechaun used to come to our house and turn Cool Whip green!  Our leprechaun left a container of Cool Whip on the counter while we were gone.  Below you will find a note he left.  It’s such a fun thing to do and the kids literally can’t believe their eyes. […]

2 Ingredient Salt Scrub

Talk about getting back more than you put in…  I just made the easiest bath salt scrub. Seriously, no effort.  I made it in just a few minutes and then used it.  My own laboratory test. When I got out of the shower my skin felt FANTASTIC!   You’re hooked, I can tell.  You have your grocery list in your […]

Gift Ideas

Cold Hard Cash

When my children got older, it became more difficult to choose a gift when they were invited to a birthday party.  It was  easy when I knew every girl wanted a Littlest Pet Shop or Beanie Baby, and every boy wanted a Transformer.  But when they got a little older those in-between ages were perplexing.  You know,  it’s the age children can’t hide the let down on their […]

Lazy Girl Sticky Buns

I love to cook, and I can, but I am also l-a-z-y.  Sometimes I want to make something that only looks  like it was hard to do.  Maybe I secretly need the adoring looks from my children.  They are so few and far between when they get older.  Anyway, these sticky buns were DELISH.  I made them Sunday because I let […]

Jolly Rancher Rainbow Pops

My mom used to make red-hot cinnamon suckers for our birthdays.  She made one for each person in our class at school.  Keep in mind, this was in the 60’s and 70″s when no one cared that your treats were homemade.  Someone’s mom could have been making birthday cookies in a latrine with ten cats.   We wouldn’t […]
