Messy Party Ideas

August 27, 2012 · by amft · 25 Comments

Last week we had an end of summer party, messy-style. The kids invited a few friends to the party. Kids love to get messy and dirty; this party not only allows it, but encourages it! Grab hold of your party hats folks…this post is full of tons Messy Party Ideas!

Since it was sill hot outside, we started our party inside. They

colored pillowcases. Using permanent markers and fabric markers the kids let their creative juices flow while they colored their new pillowcases.
made gak. Each of the kids got to pick their color and take home their creation.
decorated the ice cream cake. All the toppings were laid out and they decided how to decorate it.

By this time, it had cooled off a bit and the backyard was shaded. The kids still had no idea what was coming. The kids changed into their swimsuits and headed outside. Outside got a bit wild and really messy.

The kids decorated cookies and yes they were able to eat them before supper. Check out the awesome tray I just got from Zak Designs…it’s beautiful, sturdy, and big enough to carry out all the cookie supplies. Love it!
The centerpiece was a paint can filled with fresh bright flowers and a few paint brushes from the dollar store. Cute!
The backdrop is an old sheet sprayed with paint give a messy feel to the party.
The table was covered with a cheap plastic tablecloth…a must for any messy party!
The place settings are from Zak Designs too. The messy wet paint look is the perfect addition to the party.

After cookie decorating and eating came the best messy games.

Water bottles were filled with washable paint, then thinned down with water. The kids were given the bottles and a few rules, then they went crazy spraying each other, the backdrop, the playcenter. This was their favorite activity by far.
Giant bubbles a little plastic swimming pool with string and hula hoops.
Water balloons.
The last activity was the water hose and trampoline. It cleaned up the kids and burned off the rest of the energy.

We headed inside to changed into dry clothes for supper.

Gourmet Garden Giveaway

August 19, 2012 · by amft · 89 Comments

I love using fresh herbs, but I never use up what I buy before they go bad.

I use Gourmet Garden off and on over the years, but last May (at Camp Blogaway) I was reintroduced to them and they are probably by far my favorite item in the fridge. I have started using them all the time. Here are some of my favorite recicpes to use the herbs in:

Guacamole

Garlic Dill Veggie Dip

Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic Butter

I know what you are thinking. Herbs in a tube? Trust me…you will never know they came from a tube. My top reasons for loving Gourmet Garden Herbs:

last 3 months in the refrigerator
last 6 months in the freezer
1 tbls GG herbs = 1 tbls fresh herbs
no added flavors or colors
no HFCS
most without allergens
gluten and MSG free
non-GMO
herbs are organically grown

My grocery store only carries a few varieties, so I was quite surprised to learn that there are 12 varieties including garlic, ginger, cilantro, red chili, basil, and lemongrass. I would love for you to give them a try, so I am offering one lucky reader a variety pack of their own.

My only suggestion….they need a jalapeno variety!

Copy Kids DVD & $25 GC to Whole Foods Giveaway

August 5, 2012 · by amft · 104 Comments

Have you heard of the Copy-Kids DVD?

If not…you have to check out my review from a couple months! It is a great video for kids under about the age of 5. I think we all know kids learn by copying other kids their age…so why not have them watch a video of other young children enjoying various fruits and vegetables?!?!?

My son loves this video and even gave some new veggies a try after watching. WOOHOO!

Copy-Kids is offering up a copy of the DVD plus a $25 gift certificate to Whole Foods (so you can get some fresh fruits and veggies for your kiddos) for one AMFT follower! I am so excited for this giveaway….it’s such a great package!
