I cook up a MEAN holiday dinner. Ask my sister (the only one who lives on the East Coast, that is) and all of my brothers in law. I know how to set out a delicious smelling and delicious tasting spread. I do not, however, know much about decorating. Despite the fact that I do…
Magic Ketchup – Part Science Experiment, Part Magic Show
I found a little science experiment on sciencebob.com and thought that it might be fun to try it out with my 7 year old. No, it’s not science fair time. Just time for some good, clean fun. Pin It Here is how you set up the experiment: Supplies: Plastic soda bottle (1 liter or…
3D Art Project for Kids
I admit…I’m a sucker for fun and easy (and, yes, MESSY) arts and crafts for my kids (as long as they are easily cleaned up). I don’t always show off the creations that the kids come up with. Let’s just say that I’ve got some pretty creative kids at our house. This weekend, the kids…
Mini Doughnuts for Valentine’s Day
These might possibly be the cutest and easiest little treats for Valentine’s Day. My kids have gone crazy over these miniature donuts (or doughnuts or however you care to spell them…). My teenager even commented that they were surprisingly yummy. Pin It The best part (beyond how cute they look?) is the fact that they…

Snowman Pretzels – Snow Day Treats
This Winter, thank goodness, has been mild, but I haven’t forgotten the Winters of the recent past that forced the seven of us to stay indoors (cooped up and in close quarters) for days on end. Snow Days are inevitable during January and February in Washington DC, and as a mother of 5 living in…
Gingerbread Houses – Wordless Wednesday
I found the perfect gingerbread kit for my family this year – instead of one big gingerbread house, the kit included FIVE mini houses…one for each one of my kids. They loved having their own little houses to decorate (and I loved not having to listen to the kids fight over who got to do…
Cleaning my Car – Cargo Tote and Coupon Organizer
My car is not the picture of organization. In fact, it usually takes me weeks of dealing with messes, trash, and loose junk that really should be taken back into the house before I break down and clean it. The biggest problem is that I don’t have anywhere to keep (and organize) the things that…
DIY Phineas and Ferb Halloween Costumes
My kids are last-minute costume-pickers. They tend to change their minds on what they want to dress up as all October long. Luckily, the characters that two of my kids decided to be at the very last minute this Halloween turned out to be very easy (and cheap) for us to put together. DIY Phineas…
