I do not buy play dough at the store. Store bought play dough seems to dry up too quickly and most of it just smells bad. I have been making play dough from scratch for years and not only does it last forever, but I add different extracts so that it smells good. My kids […]
Every Christmas, the kids and I try to decide what presents to give their teachers. This year we are trying to cut down on costs, so we are making them all kinds of Christmas goodies - chocolate covered pretzels, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies and M&M brownies. These are all things my kids can make […]
By the time I was 9, I could whip up a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies. I go in spurts getting my kids in the kitchen and teaching them how to cook. I have a friend who happens to write a great baking blog who is very good at getting her kids in the […]
My kids get out of school on Wednesday and they are SO excited! We love the holidays around my house and I was trying to think of some fun things I can do with the kids while they are out of school; not places to go, but things to do around the home like crafts, […]
One year for my daughter’s birthday, we did a Nostalgia toy theme. My husband and I remembered how much fun we had with these toys and we knew that she would love them too.
Besides, all the toys and characters I played with and loved are back. It’s amazing! I think my kids are getting tired […]
The kids and I made a couple of the recipes from the Better Homes and Gardens New Junior Cookbook I wrote about last month. I thought I’d share a few of the photos out here of our baking day!
We started off with the Creamy Berry Cups. The recipe called for mini-phyllo cups. […]
It’s popsicle season! I picked up these popsicle molds a few weeks ago, and we filled them with a little grape kool-aid, froze them, invited a few friends over and shared a treat! What I like about the homemade popsicles is that you can determine how much sugar is actually in them. […]
I was really excited to find the Better Homes and Gardens: New Junior Cook Book while walking around Barnes and Noble the other day. I like glancing through cookbooks for fun and inspiration, and I’m always interested to see what they feature in the ones that are designed for kids. As I’ve said […]
My kids love getting cookie cutter sets as gifts. In the past, we’ve received an animal set, a flower set, a sports set and of course the Christmas cookie set. A few weeks ago, my youngest received the 50-piece Wilton cookie cutter set that includes the entire alphabet, all of the numbers, and […]
Randa of Free Stuff 4 Kids asked about the recipe that I used for the alphabet/shapes/blob pretzels, so I thought I’d share a couple of them out here for all of you. (Thanks for your patience, Randa!)
First off, though, I forgot to mention the first time that the idea for the alphabet pretzels came […]
Chatting about kids’ toys, games, books, and just fun stuff to do.
