I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been on here… Before the pandemic, I ran the kids all over the place – swim, school, gymnastics, etc. – and still had time to create and blog. Now we spend way more time at home and yet I feel like I get nothing done! Oh,… Continue reading The Cookie Flop!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip “Unicorn” Cookies
We’ve been needing a little magic lately, so I pulled out a bag of unicorn chips that I’ve been saving for a special occasion. Tollhouse came out with these fun vanilla chips a while back, and while I didn’t know what I would use them for, I knew my daughter would love them! You may… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip “Unicorn” Cookies
Chocolate Cream Pie
Is it just me, or are we baking more during this quarantine? I’ve found myself craving sweets more often, and I’m constantly seeing pictures of cookies and banana bread on Facebook! (Speaking of cookies, DoubleTree shared their secret recipe online recently, and it is delicious. I used dark chocolate chips since I can’t seem to… Continue reading Chocolate Cream Pie
Wood Easter Bunnies
I was supposed to lead my MOPS group in a craft a couple of weeks ago, and I had decided on wood bunnies! However, with the quarantining, we were not able to meet. I still enjoyed making these for our home, and Lexi helped me with the painting! She decided the baby bunny needed to… Continue reading Wood Easter Bunnies
Deviled Eggs

Buttons!
This is a fun project and turns out really cute! I found Autumn wooden ornaments in the Target dollar section and pulled out my box of buttons and some liquid glue. I placed dots of glue all over the ornament, and Lexi arranged the buttons how she wanted them. If you have an older child,… Continue reading Buttons!
Painting with Apples
Yesterday we tried painting with apples. It didn’t go quite how I planned, but Lexi had a blast with the paint anyway! Lately she doesn’t want to get her hands dirty, so she used a paintbrush instead. However, if you want to paint with apples, just cut an apple in half and then dip it… Continue reading Painting with Apples

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
My daughter is almost 3 and loves to help mommy in any way that she can.
