Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
A lot of people are searching for homemade Christmas presents or something that they can give to neighbors, teachers, etc. that they made that is useful and meaningful. Bridget G. in our group presented this craft. We made this craft at our MOPS meeting Monday morning and all the moms loved it. It was really …
Oh goodness it has been forever since I posted a craft. I have several and just never got around to posting them. Here is something that caught my eye in Parents magazine (that magazine says some weird things sometimes, but they do have good Gymboree coupons!). It was pretty straightforward. Since the holes can’t be …
This week is Halloween and I made a lunch for Maddox last Friday that I thought would be a fun idea for some. Most of us have or have seen the cheap little orange pumpkin trick-or-treat pail at the stores. I used this for a lunch box instead of his normal lunch. Since I bring …

Tomorrow: I promise to post chocolate chocolate cupcakes with creamy filling. I’ve already posted the chocolate cake here on the Angry Birds Cake post. Just for you Uncle Ray! **Update** Honey Maid is now making Angry Bird Graham Crackers!!! I wish these had been around last year for our party. What a cool treat?! …
After browsing Barnes and Noble, I came across Mary Abreu’s “Little Girls, Big Style” and fell in love with all the cute dresses, shirts and pants. I think what also helps is the modern patterns and styles used throughout the book instead of the old, quilting type fabric that remind many people of sewing. The …
If you have any questions at all, please ask! I know I could spend a month writing about what I do and not cover it all here. I am just giving a basic list of what has worked for me. There is a plethora of books and blogs that instruct on how to take good …
