I love popsicles just as much as my kids. They would eat popsicles every day if I let them, but then they go bouncing off the walls because most of them are filled with dyes and sugar. Making your own at home is healthier because you can control what goes into them, and (in my […]
My kids are really into pirates, fairies, and Peter Pan these days and so I promised them I would surprise them with a fun after school snack one day soon. They still don’t know that I’ve been secretly working on this fun {and tasty} Pirate Munch Party mix for them. I think it will totally […]
Hi, it’s Carlyn from East Valley Mom Guide, filling in for Wendy today. I just wanted to share a lunch I made for my boys inspired by Disney’s Frozen. The movie just came out on DVD and Blu-ray, so my boys and I will be watching it until we have the whole thing memorized. I’m […]
So, it’s your happy happy happy birthday! There is only one party for you….a Duck Dynasty Birthday Party. I love themed parties, but I don’t enjoy the price tag of buying a ton of logo’d items for a 2-3 party. It’s just not budget friendly. However, if you are a Duck Dynasty fan there are some […]
Oh my goodness…these are so stinkin’ adorable and were so much fun to make. Last week was fall break and my kids had some friends over and for an easy craft and snack, we all put together these Spooky Halloween Candy Trees. I’m pretty sure you know that I love this time of year and I […]
School starts next week…my baby is heading to pre-K a couple days a week and my oldest is going into 4th grade. Where has time gone? I’m kind of picky when it comes to the kids school lunches. I think they need to be healthy for learning…no junk, no sweets…there is a time and place […]
Last weekend we had a few friends over for a fun end of the summer vacation party. Even though most of the summer it’s well over a 115F here in AZ, the evenings in our backyard are beautiful. Once the sun goes behind the house the yard cools off and it’s perfect for a backyard […]
Have you heard that Iron Man 3 is coming out soon? Another movie with Robert Downey Jr. {swoon} Well, my friend Ashely from Cruncy Frugalista got invited out to the premiere and hang with MY sweetie and left me here to make this slow cooker snack mix. So not fair! So not fair! But I’m […]
I’m always searching for creative ways to teach my children Bible stories. My kids learn better with hands-on activities while we are talking and then being able to visualize what we are talking about. I first heard about Empty Tomb Rolls several years ago and I know they are all over the web now, but I’ve got […]
Leprechauns! Love ‘em or hate ‘em? They always show up at our house sometime before we wake up on March 17th. The leprechauns cause all sorts of mischief at our house. This year the kids and I decided we would set out some leprechaun bait and try to catch them. Do they come to your […]
I think I have created a monster! Making individual serving cakes in a coffee mug with a cake mix in the microwave is nothing new. However, many of the recipes call for regular cake mix plus the addition of angel food cake mix (for the egg), put it the microwave on 50% power for a […]
I’m always trying to figure out how to get healthy foods into my kids, but I have to stay on my toes or they get bored. Unfortunately, many of the Pina Colada Fruit Dips call for instant coconut pudding, which is not healthy at all. I knew I could make a similar tasting dip without […]
I think these Christmas Marshmallow Pops are just adorable and so easy. It’s a perfect activity for the kids. Let them make up a bunch to give to their friends for the holidays or take them to school for a special treat. Or just make up a bunch to share with your friends! Christmas is […]
It’s only one week after Thanksgiving and I just couldn’t hold off any longer…my first Christmas recipe of the year! This is such a fun and easy recipe/craft project to do with the kids. Okay…secretly…I had a ton of fun decorating my own too and enjoyed eating one (or two) of them myself. I love […]
I really enjoy oatmeal cookies, but I am so tired of the normal oatmeal raisin cookies. So when I got a box of beautiful perfectly ripe mangos I knew I had to turn them into cookies! Oatmeal Cookies! So, I enlisted the help of my 3yo, grabbed the mangos, and my new fav…Irish Oatmeal…and started […]
I am totally in love with FlatOut Bread. We’ve been using it up a storm, including the Pinwheel Lavash Flatbread, so I had to share my latest creation with you. The kids loved it and satisfied their need for a sweet treat after school and after dinner, but I loved it because it was actually […]
I think it’s safe to say everyone is back to school now! So now the question becomes what to feed these hungry guys and gals when they get home from a busy day at school….right moms? It can be a tough decision because it’s often really close to supper time. I know that if I […]
I know what you are thinking! I do, really I do! You are thinking that I post way too many Rice Krispies treat recipes. LOL! I can’t guarantee this will be my last, but probably my last for awhile. I still had some ingredients left over from the last challenge that I needed to use […]
Are your kids like mine? My kids will eat anything if it’s dipped in chocolate. They love pretzels, but they love chocolate even more. So, when I surprised my daughter with this after school snack she was over the moon. I may have even snapped a picture and sent it to my husband at work. He asked […]
Isn’t this Winter Wonderland made of Rice Krispies Treats adorable?!?! I could not be more excited to share our final Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Challenge with y’all after what has been such a fun and creative year! For the last challenge, we wanted to focus on the kids again! During this time of year, we all […]
