Did you cover your school books when you were in school? As a kid I religiously collected cool stickers (to use on brown paper) and wallpaper samples to cover my school books. Great importance was assigned to my choices. I’d be lugging and looking at those books all year long. No boring wrappers for me….
Teeshirt Restyle #1: Funky No-Sew Scarf
It happens every year. The kids grow out of tee shirts that I love. It makes me so sad sometimes – especially when the tee is something that I am sentimental about or was passed down to a couple of my kids. But really, who wants my kid’s grungy old stained tee. I couldn’t even…
Zombie Zucchini Invasion: I’m onto them
Consider this my garden update: I’m pretty sure these guys have a plot to take over. Sure they look friendly. But it’s not normal how fast they grow and how they just. keep. coming. Fifty lbs of them a week. From TWO PLANTS. It got me thinking about how Zucchinis and Zombies have a lot…
Simple Perfect Israeli Cucumber Summer Salad
My garden is giving it up right now and I am able to make my favorite salad in vast quantities.

No Melt Ice Cream Cones
It all started with a bag of Mega Marshmallows. We needed a party treat, and we needed it fast. What was in the house? Peanuts. Coconut. Mega Mallows. Chocolate… Ice Cream cones! It just so happened that the oversized marshmallows fit perfectly into the ice cream cones sitting unused in our pantry. Dunk Mega Marshmallows…
Peach Pop (Vodka) Slurpy
Here’s the scene: A very tired and haggard mom, four kids in tow, checks out at Trader Joes. The salesclerk looks over her purchases, sizes her up, and leans in for this tip: “You see those peach push pops you’re getting for the kids? Keep a few for yourself. Dunk em in some vodka. Trust…
Red White & Blue Cake Bombs for July 4th
Forgive me please… but these little cake balls really are the bomb! You can use your favorite cake ball recipe for these but I used a BabyCakes Cake ball maker to bake the balls. I’m all about easy and prefer plainer, fluffier cakeballs to the frosting mixed-in cake balls. For the cake batter I “doctored”…
Drive Through Kid Bike Wash Sprinkler DIY
I wish I had come up with this one all on my own. But credit must be given where credit is due and in this case, it is due to Family Fun Magazine. You can download the basic bike/kid wash plans here. I should note we left out the gate (which is in the plans)….
