Fun Snack Time with Printable Valentine Bingo Boards
Do your kids love to play with their food and then eat it? Normally this is a behavior that I discourage at our dinner table, but when it comes to snack time, why not? When the kids are out of school, or when they get home from school I like to have wholesome, delicious snacks for them to have. If I'm able to combine snack time with play time, then I'm basically "Mom of the Year!" Honey Maid Go Bites are the perfect snack for kids because they are made with 7g of whole grains, 5g of protein … [Read more...]
Robot Valentine’s Day Mailbox
My kids love going all out for their Valentine's Day mailboxes. Once Christmas wraps up discussions begin on what theme they want their mailbox to be.

My son was very excited when the idea of a robot got brought up. It seemed easy enough, so here is how we created it using our Silhouette Cameo . The Box The box that we used for our robot is … [Read more...]

You’re the Star of my Show Valentine
It may be true that at your child's Valentine's Day party there is going to be so much junk food that you don't want to contribute to that with the Valentine they hand out.
