Summer Bucket List


What's In Your Bucket?

Everyday I wake up and think "What are we going to do today?" Then at the end of the day I say to myself "Drat, today would have been a great day to _________." So I sat down and made a list, my Summer Bucket List. I thought I would share some of it with y'all and see if you had any ideas for your own that you would like to share.

I have attached a link to a printable cute bucket list. Sit down with the kids and ...


Macaroni Summer Trip Ideas


Helping You Keep The Kiddos Busy This Summer

June is here, which means summer is here. One may go into a panic with the thought of "What will I do with my children this summer and how can we build lasting memories?" We here at Macaroni Kid believe that slow and steady wins the race and have a few suggestions for how to calm the panic and create fantastic summer memories for the whole family.

Home Made Cookies In A Flash


Fresh Baked - Even For The Busiest Moms

What a lot of us busy Moms don't realize, or just forget, is that baking from scratch can actually be really quick! And, with a little prep work, it's even faster than using store bought cookie dough- and definitely healthier and tastier.

I've been busy digging up old favorites that are great for making and storing. The following 2 cookie recipes are perfect for just that and only take about 10 minutes!

Here is a recipe for a frosty summer drink that your kids will love to chill out to!

Ingredients

Macaroni Snacks!


Bugs In A Bag

June 21st marks the first day of Summer and we all know that the longer children are at home, the more likely they are to snack. One way to reign in the constant snacking is to establish two different "Snack Times" (maybe 10am and 3pm) in your home. Once the snack schedule is established, it is important to stick to it, this way you won’t find yourself in the kitchen six to seven times (before lunch!) to fill yet another request. Also, keeping easy to eat, no-prep snack items ...

“Riesens” We Love Daddy


Father’s Day Craft/Gift

This was our Father’s Day gift to my husband last year.  He loved it so much, that he still talks about how special it is and how much it meant to him.  The container, full of thin paper strips (the chocolate is long gone…ha ha), still sits in his closet and I believe it will still be there when our “babies” go off to college. 

What you’ll need…

  • Plastic container- I used one of those see through “paint can” containers, which I found at Michael’s 
  • Foam ...
