Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Good morning! School is out for summer and that means craft time! I have been trying to come up with a few decorations for my new classroom next year and found the perfect paper to make a Magnolia Wreath. This paper is in the “Earth” pack from Michael’s Craft Store. Of course, any dark/medium …
Hello! Here is an easy and fun art project for those stormy summer days. String art is very popular right now and can be used to make anything from your initials, to objects, to this “magic” eye. As they say: everything old is new again! We made string art in Algebra II/Trig back when I …
I am super excited to show you this DIY canvas wall!!! The possibilities are endless and the result is SO much fun. Photo canvases are cool… and very expensive. Even a small 12″ photo canvas can run around $40 each. This canvas wall cost about $50 for EVERYTHING. They are so much fun to …
There are few foods yummier than peanut butter. Covered in chocolate, hidden in smoothies or eaten straight out of the jar, many people eat it even on a daily basis. Entire cookbooks are dedicated just to this one ingredient! Today my friends, we take it up another notch. Another reason to consider making homemade peanut …

This is a little off-topic… maybe considered “a craft”??? But hey, it took me nearly 20 years to figure this out and therefore I figure I better share it with everybody! During the winter, my feet get well… dry… flaky, cracked… really not pretty. After going through many products over the years, I finally found …
So, it’s been almost 7 years of children in the house. They really did a number on my seat cushions, but they weren’t destroyed or anything. Since the youngest is 3 years old, I thought it might be time to redo the cushions. Instead of buying a whole new dining set, of course. This was …
After finding out how easy it was to make a homemade chocolate pudding mix, I thought it would only be right to make vanilla as well. Now, we don’t eat vanilla pudding often, but there are a myriad of applications like adding pudding mixes to cakes, or making a very quick pastry cream, or using …
I took a quick photo of my daughter with one of my new backdrops and just had to post it 🙂 Plus, this is a kid-friendly food blog post, so I thought it would be okay. Yep, that is a backdrop! I don’t have any props – just gave her the chair from her room …
