So, I was going to just give out these lame dollar toys for my non-food Halloween treat this year to kids that would rather not have candy (long story, but I didn’t want candy most of the time). Nothing seemed very cool, though, until I decided I’d make something. And that something was a mini-invitation to…

Desperate times, my friends, desperate times. I had a toddler that was bored, the internet was out (meaning no Netflix) and the plethora of toys at hand were somehow not meeting her needs. But I had to cook dinner. There were people coming. And I’d promised steak, potatoes, and an apple pie. Not an easy…

I really should have named this post: “How to Keep Kids Occupied while Cooking Thanksgiving Dinner” or at least, how I hope to.

I’m way to lazy to head to the store and although lemon is not my favorite scent (that’s watermelon) or…

My 13 year old was washing his hands the other day as I came around the corner into the kitchen. I wasn’t sure what he was doing, so I asked (because he seemed to take an inordinate amount of time). He paused and mumbled, “I was playing with that pink clay.” I tried so hard…

This past few weeks have been hard. My daughter was so sick and I needed some way to keep her from getting bored. Even though the weather was really nice and we’d normally have played outside, we were stuck indoors. Enter the play dough days. It was like every day, I came up with a…
