Last week I shared my son’s M&M’s basketball cake that we made for his 7th birthday. Since his birthday fell during the week we did his sports party with friends this weekend and needed a little treat to give to them. Of course we thought of sports cupcakes. I will be sharing all of the fun we had at the party later this week. [Read more...]

Spring Food Art with Tyson Chicken Nuggets
If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time you know that we love to play with our food! I have a couple of picky eaters so getting them to eat can be tricky. I always have to laugh at the fact that if I make the food look like something fun, then they normally gobble it right down. Doesn’t even matter what it is.
As I mentioned earlier this week about my shopping trip and the random act of kindness that was done for me, we were completely out of food after being gone for Spring Break and Easter so I headed off to Sam’s Club to fill the shelves. You can read about my shopping experience in my Google + album.
Easter Bunny Pancake

Here comes Peter Cottontail! It just wouldn’t be a holiday for us without some sort of fun pancakes. We had Leprechaun pancakes for St Patrick’s Day, Groundhog pancakes for Groundhogs day, Cupid’s arrow for Valentine’s day, Santa pancakes for Christmas and even “Man”cakes for Father’s Day. So, naturally we would have to have an Easter Bunny pancake for Easter. Right?
As, with most of my pancake ideas, these are pretty self-explanatory from looking at the picture. I’ve decided you can make almost any type of object with pancakes, bananas, marshmallows and chocolate chips. Really, you should try it. [Read more...]
Edible Dinosaur Eggs

Easter time is here and my boys are really excited for next week. Not only for Easter but because we have Spring Break off the entire week before Easter. Since my boys have each gone through a stage where they were obsessed with Dinosaurs, I knew these Dinosaur eggs would be a fun Easter project for them. [Read more...]







I’m a mom of 4 boys, which also makes me a
nurse, referee, taxi driver,teacher, party planner, story teller, barber,dietician, baker, atm, maid, personal shopper, jungle gym, coach, puppeteer, motivator and negotiator. On the rare occasion that I get a moment to myself I like to sing, play the piano and guitar and just relax. I’m sharing my life with you as well as fun activities, crafts, recipes and ideas designed just for boys, in hopes that together we can, not only survive, but find joy in raising boys. So leave a comment and get involved. I’d love to hear from you!
