My kids get to choose a recipe to make with me once a week and we call it “Cooking with Kids”. Today my son chose shaped eggs. They are so easy to make and so yummy! All you need is an electric griddle and some egg shapers found here, here, and here. We actually purchased …

I’ve always wanted a food dehydrator, but I don’t really have anywhere to store it and would only use it a few times a year, so I don’t really think it’s a necessity. I have made dried fruit and fruit leather successfully in the oven with cookie sheets and I think it’s a delicious …

My daughter woke up one morning and I noticed a giant hair knot that covered the entire back of her head (like dreadlocks but all folded under into itself). This photo wasn’t taken until after we got that folded part all out by pulling a few strands at a time and lots of crocodile tears. …

I have touted the uses of Apple Cider vinegar with the mother before here on my blog. I think it’s an amazing healer! I have since used it on blemishes on my face and they go away immediately as well as cold sores that also go away within 1 or 2 applications. I can’t believe …

It seems like every year, I get so busy before Easter, that I forgot to plan anything special and unique for our tradition of family easter egg dying. I have good intentions, but I never actually follow through. Well, this year, I’m starting early! Easter is starting early too, as in March 31st. I better …

I don’t do a whole lot of crafts. Not because I don’t want to, but just because I don’t really have the time. I would really like to do it more but life gets in the way! The last couple years when I was working full time, I really missed having the time to make …
