I LOVE buffalo chicken! Wings, pizza, you name it. My favorite buffalo flavoring is Texas Pete's wing sauce. Usually when you make wings you combine hot sauce with butter. Not with Texas Pete's. With this, you simple toss your chicken in the sauce. Done. The flavor is awesome. Not too spicy, but enough kid to be buffalo sauce. I used some inspiration from Skinnytaste and came up with a dinner that we really enjoyed. And the chicken was just as flavorful and juicy the next day for ... Read More about Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Hello Kitty Sandwiches
So I've really been having fun trying to makes lunchtime fun. Especially when friends come over. It doesn't take long to make the sandwiches. The tedious part is searching the cupboards for things to use and the clean-up. So I might as well make them when lots of kids can enjoy them...if I'm going to put the effort into it anyways! The boys have been enjoying time at Cub Scout Day camp with Derrick this week. Kaylee is always the one left behind and doesn't have as many play dates. So we ...

Angry Bird Sandwiches
You can only read this post if you promise not to laugh....too hard. I wasn't sure if I was going to share this since they are the craziest little angry bird sandwiches ever, but the kids and their friends LOVED them. Seriously thought they were the best sandwiches ever....even with cheese eyebrows on top of strawberry jam and couldn't stop talking about them. Dallin even said to his buddy, "Did you know that my mom used to be a waitress? She knows how to do restaurant stuff." I didn't tell him ... Read More about Angry Bird Sandwiches
Snap Trap Wallet {for the boys!}
I feel like I am always sewing for my girls, but not as often for my boys. So when the need arose for a project for the little men of my life, I was excited to get to work. We had a yard sale recently and the kids had a lemonade stand set up. They were absolutely darling and did a great job. And when it was all said and done, they needed a place to store their little pile of cash. So I decided to make them each a wallet. Do you remember the slap bracelets we had as kids? Well, they are ... Read More about Snap Trap Wallet {for the boys!}
Monster Cupcakes
Monster stuff in May? Did I get ahead of myself and post 5 months early? Nope! Aaron's kindergarten class did a Monster unit right before school got out. Monster activities, snacks, costumes, movie, games, etc. It was a blast! The kids were asked to dress in costume and we didn't have any monster themed outfits for him to wear. The night before costume day, I sat down and added a bit of life to this stained t-shirt. I used felt scraps. I began cutting and sewing, cutting and sewing...about ...

Pink Lemonade Cookies
Kaylee and I saw this Pink Lemonade Cake Mix around Easter time at the Grocery store and thought it would be fun to try out. After all, pink is her favorite color. She has pink-eye right now and was pretty excited about it. That girl cracks us up. Tonight we decided to try out this new flavor in cake mix cookies. I think everyone knows how to make these, but I'll include a recipe at the bottom of the post just in case. They were AMAZING! I love regular lemon cake mix cookies, rolled in ...

Micro Canvas Masterpieces {Gift Idea}
My little artists have been busy cranking out these fun little canvas masterpieces for Teacher's Appreciation gifts as well as gifts to Great-Grandmothers out in California and Oregon. I think they turned out darling and should be pretty easy to mail out next week. I found these little art easels and canvas squares at Joann's. They are only 3-4" big and the little easels are the perfect compliment to them. They are $1.99 each, but I saw that they were having 50% off all canvas that day so ...

Vintage Inspired Embroidered Onesies
I think I'm in love! IÂ absolutely love vintage embroidery and haven't done any embroidery in years. So I thought it might be fun to add a bit of detail to these plain white onesies for Ruby and it was SO much fun! And addicting! I don't think that she will have a plain white onesie in her drawer left soon. I love how they turned out so sweet and classic. Bright colors, but subtle at the same time. And since embroidery floss is so inexpensive, and I inherited a bunch of it years ago....they ... Read More about Vintage Inspired Embroidered Onesies
