We’ve got our pumpkins (and one turned into a Jack-o-Lantern), we’ve made our Halloween decorations for the house, we’ve cooked our yummy pumpkin treats to eat, and we’ve bought candy galore for the trick-or-treaters. But we are not ready for Halloween at all. Why? No costumes. I am have been a complete slacker in the…
Halloween Craft Idea – Cheap and Easy “3D” Paper Pumpkins
Years ago, I made a wooden pumpkin craft at a church event. I have kept that pumpkin and displayed it every October-November since then. Last night, as I lay un-sleeping in my bed, I realized that I could re-create that craft for my kids with hardly any cost. I couldn’t wait to try it…
Pumpkin Pasties – A Harry Potter Recipe
When the last installment of Harry Potter came out in theaters this summer, my oldest daughter, KitKat, got together with a few dozen of her friends for a huge Hogwarts-worthy Harry Potter party. The kids all dressed up in costume and decorated the house like the Great Hall, and all the food they served had…
Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Why? Because I LOVE the USA! (Plus, the fact that the kids don’t expect candy or presents when they wake up on the morning of July 4th is a HUGE plus now that I’m a mom) We woke up early this morning to attend the annual 4th…

Wonderful Dessert: Chocolate, Cream Cheese and Cool Whip Layered Treat
I was talking about a favorite Spring-time dessert last week with some friends online, and promised that I would share the recipe here after the holiday. After eating a bowl of Wonderful for a before-lunch snack this morning, I remembered my promise. You will thank me later, I swear! This dessert is an old…
How to Blow Out Easter Eggs
My kids love decorating Easter eggs every year. For many years, we simply used the basic egg dyeing kits from the grocery store. In fact, we still use one or two kits every Spring to color the hard boiled eggs. A few years ago, though, we were introduced to blowing out eggs to decorate. These…
