I shared this briefly in my Apple post. It was a fun way we discovered to send apples to school or work without them turning brown. The boys call them “magic” apples – you take off the rubber band, and they fall open. All you do is use the slice the apple almost to the bottom, so the skin ... Read More »
I got my dehydrator from a friend a few years ago, and I love it. There are so many different things you can do with a dehydrator. FruitWe love to do apples, bananas, peaches, strawberries and blueberries. There are lots more that we haven’t tried yet. It’s really nice when you find a whole bunch of fruit on clearance (ie. bananas) ... Read More »
I learned how to make these chains years ago when I worked at the library, and we needed to decorate for Halloween. The other kind of loop paper chains get kind of boring after a while, and these ones look really neat. They’re pretty easy to make, and would look great in a classroom or in your windows! All you ...

This last costume came together rather easily. We had the black cape from a few years ago. We had just gotten the batman t-shirt from a friend. So all we needed was a batman mask. I did a Pinterest search for some ideas. The one we ended up liking was a broken link, so we just had to ... Read More »
Before I tell you how you can #FinishYourKitchen with a $10,000 kitchen makeover, I just have to tell you this: My dishes are clean now. Sparkling.

So this post ended up being a bit of a cheat. I looked on Pinterest, and saw some really great ideas for a Captain America shield, using either a Frisbee or a Flying Saucer sled. I kind of looked into each of these ideas, but I didn’t want to spend much money. I figured I’d have to buy the Frisbee (ours ... Read More »

So I know that this series is “Superhero” Accessories, and a pirate isn’t really a Superhero. But our youngest wanted to be a Pirate for Halloween, and when he realized that his brothers were all Superheroes, he decided that he would be a “Super Pirate.” I’m not sure how that’s different from a regular pirate, but it’s good enough for him! ...

As I had mentioned earlier in my #KINDERmom post, our boys are obsessed with Superheroes. Today as we started putting together Halloween costumes, I found myself on Pinterest looking for inspiration for some accessories for our Superheroes. I don’t want to have entirely store-bought costumes, but I also don’t have the energy to make four complete costumes myself. So we ... Read More »
I think that we can all agree that Pinterest is full of amazing & fun food ideas for kids. In the average day, I’ll admit – I just don’t want to spend the time to make these fun treats. However, one a week for the past few weeks, we’ve been doing some fun treats for snack or lunch – and the ... Read More »
