Fire-Free S’more Rice Krispie Treat Recipe

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

Don’t you just love the beginning of summer?  Almost overnight the stores are suddenly stocked with red-check tablecloths, freezer pops, hot dogs and boatloads of these… I just can’t help myself.  We don’t even have a fire pit but somehow I couldn’t stop my hands from adding these scrumptious s’more supplies to my cart last week.

Tackling Laundry Mini-Tip 5

Friday, May 14, 2010

Ok, ok.  I know I said I was done talking about laundry but four tips just seemed like a weird place to stop.  Sorry, these things bug me…I can’t explain it.  Additionally, my site is having issues displaying posts on the home page lately (big changes are coming soon) so I thought I’d add one [...]

When it comes to April Fools’ Day, we like to keep it pretty simple.  This year, my husband and I snuck into our kids’ bedrooms at night and signed their faces with washable markers (I made sure to to it in pink and add hearts – just to bug my boys).  Our kids quickly retaliated [...]

I hate emptying the dishwasher.  It seems like such a tedious task to me.  A few months ago I decided to put an end to this daily annoyance by making dishwasher-emptying a designated kid job.  The solution had both good and bad results.  Although I loved having the dishes put away everyday, I hated wasting [...]

Easy Idea for Managing Kid Towels

Saturday, March 14, 2009

I am convinced that the person who invented towel rods did not have children.  Not only are they tough for little hands to reach, but they’re only designed to hold one or two towels.  When you’ve got four kids sharing the same bathroom you need a better way to keep soggy towels off the floor.

Valentine’s day is just over a week away and chances are your kids have a big list of Valentines to create this weekend.  Usually, that means you have two options – you either fork out several dollars per child on a generic, cheaply-made store set or you spend your entire weekend (and probably a hunk [...]
