Cheese and Crackers Valentine

When you were a kid do you remember those little packs of Crackers with a cheese  and the little red stick to spread it with.  They were a special treat for my family.  We loved them on car trips or on special occasions.  And know my kids love them too.  

My local Sam's Club carries them so I sometimes treat my kids with them in their school lunch.  So this year I though it might be cute to make them into a Valentine.  For about $8 for 24 packs and my free printable you can make your own Valentine for you kids classes! 

You're the Cheese to my Crackers Valentine!

Vintage Popcorn Valentine Printable

I LOVE Vintage Valentines! I wish they were easier to find.  I love the colors and saying and images they used way back when.  

 This one made me giggle. So I put it in Photoshop and made some multiples.  I taped it to a bag of single serve popcorn and you have the Corniest Valentine ever! 

Healthy Mexican Lettuce Wraps

This dinner is just to delicious to not share.  I found something similar online over at Damn Delicious that was a vegetarian meal and it sounded good.  But I needed to make it fit my dietary needs and I like meat. So I did a little changing and came up with this easy to make, one pan dish.  My kids (the pickiest eaters ever)  even loved it! It is packed full of veggies, protein and fiber and tastes delish.  This one is going on the menu for sure!

Beautiful skin with Skin Authority

I know its been a while since I have blogged. Sometimes you just have to take a break. Or find something you want to blog about.  Today's post is because I found something amazing to blog about.  I have been trying out a new skin product and love it! Skin Authority is my new go to skin care line!

Here in Idaho it is cold and dry with 9 months of it.  My skin takes a beating and I still break out like a 16 year old girl!  I have tried everything. It is so frustrating.  I like the all natural approach to most things, especially skin care but I will try almost anything to soften up my skin and get rid of acne.  So when asked to try Skin Authority I gladly accepted!  

Super Hero Dress Ups and Costume

 

A few months ago I hosted a yard sale for a Youth Fundraiser.  One of the donations was a simple super hero cape made by a neighbor who had passed away.  Her family were cleaning out the house and decided to donate the old dress ups.  I was totally intrigues by the simplicity of these capes and just had to recreate them in an updated version.  So I began figure out the designs I wanted and how I would put them together.  So today I will share how I made the basic cape and over the next couple of weeks I will share the individual images I made for each super hero. So First up is Spiderman!

I will start with the basic cape that is used for all versions.

Turkey Table Kids coloring page

I decided to post a little last minute Thanksgiving fun today.  A week ago I posted this over and Whatever Dee Dee Wants.  SO today you get it from me.  It's Quick and easy and it will make the kids happy!!

 Every year when I was little, my grandmother would set up a kids table for all the grand kids at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We would all sit around and wait for dinner to be served. I would have loved having a coloring and puzzle page to color while I waited for dinner to start.  So for my kiddos this year I made them a coloring place mat.  Just like the kids get when you go to a restaurant.  I added this adorable turkey crayon holder for the table decorations and voile. Your kids table is ready for those hungry kids!

 For added decoration you could make my Turkey Crayon Holder. Give your kids a little something to do while you get Turkey dinner on the table!
