Popping Off
Looking for a fun activity for a birthday party, activity days, scouts or just for fun? This is it! We’ve seen versions of these poppers around in magazines and other websites but they were made out of heavy plastic cups. We made several of them to use as a possible activity for a preschool camp. They were fun, but so […]
4 Ingredient “Magic Shell” Chocolate Sauce
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 4 tbsp butter 1/2 cup coconut oil (secret ingredient) 1/2 tsp vanilla Mix all of the above ingredients in a saucepan or double boiler on low heat until incorporated. The sauce will be runny unless you put in on ice cream. ( Coconut oil turns to a solid at […]
Flip For These Flops
Pretend you’ve never seen these before…O.K… fine, but we love them. Kiddie flip-flops (or “bigger than kiddie” flip-flops) tied off with a cute bow. Ribbon that’s skinny or fat, two different colors or curly or straight. You can’t go wrong. Flip-flops for girls could match their fourth of July outfit, or even their swimming suit. I can picture some pretty sassy walks from little girls, as […]
Dip In
Years ago my “blog sister” asked if I had a quick and easy recipe for a treat she could take to a pot- luck type work party. I told her about a yummy fruit dip that was super easy and sooo good. I called her later and asked her if people liked the dip. She was still at the party […]
Three Thoughts
1) STRAP IT IN! I went to the grocery store and watched a woman as she searched frantically for her missing purse. She had turned her back to pick out some produce and when she turned around, her purse was gone. Some one was watching and patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity. All the woman in our family […]

Every boy (or girl) needs a sword that’s high on fun and low on “possible injuries” right? These fun pool noodle toys can be used in the pool […]
Let’s Go Fly A….Bag ♫
I looked out the window the other day to see a plastic bag floating up in the air over my fence. Connected to the bag was a piece of yarn. Connected to the piece of yarn was a little boy, my cute neighbor Caleb. He had made a kite! It worked like a charm and kept him entertained […]
Tortellini Soup
Eighteen minutes. I timed it. This “to die for” tortellini soup takes eighteen minutes from pot to mouth. Next time you go to the store, buy some frozen tortellini. An eighteen to twenty ounce bag will make a double batch, then the next time you’re in a pinch for dinner…..you won’t be in a pinch for dinner. I […]
When Life Gives You Lemons…..
A dear friend of mine had an incident the other day, the kind of incident that ends up with a tow truck. When I describe this friend to other people I use the word “warrior”. She truly puts me to shame on a daily basis. I wanted to do a little something to let her know we […]
