Baby (gift) Makin

We showered Baby Wyatt last weekend and I got my craft on!!

I used a wooden letter from Michael's and ModgePodged it with paper to match his nursery

I covered a travel wipe container with fabric and ribbon to match Baby Wyatt's diaper bag.

And using MLB fleece, I made a 'no-sew' blanket to represent the rivalry between Wyatt's Mom and Dad. Depending on who is playing/winning, you can pick your side. This was super easy!!

Peanut Butter Puzzle Time

I found this fun sandwich cutter and thought it would be great to add the edible paints that I saw over here.

You can probably guess the results...Caden wants a peanut butter puzzle sandwich for EVERY mean now...sometime without color

Fizzy Paint Fun

We trying to check off our summer bucket list but it seems like we've been SO BUSY , it's been difficult. This was a perfect activity for both my boys for different reasons. My 3 year old monkey LOVED mixing the baking soda, cornstarch and food coloring while my 8 year old artist/scientist LOVED the painting and popping. I found the idea over here. I highly recommend it!!

Patriotic Breakfast

We kicked off our Independence Day with the good ol Red White and Blue

Cream Cheese on Cinnamon Swirl Bread topped with strawberries and blueberries...YUM!

Star Spangled Strawberries

Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a family favorite. This year for the 4th, I was trying to find a way to use the fun mold that I picked up at the dollar store...so here are the results...
Star Spangled Strawberries



I sprinkled blue sugar on the bottom of the ice cube tray. (I put more sugar in the second batch to get more blue)

Then I poured the melted white chocolate

and plopped in the strawberries..be sure they are dry!

Let them chill in the fridge for a few hours to get nice and firm and pop them out carefully.

Cheers to Friendship

A while back, I got together with a group of friends from elementary school. We met up in Tahoe for a week of Girl Time. I made these glasses to toast our years of friendship. It's hard to believe we've been friends for nearly 30 years. I'm a lucky girl!
