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 ...

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!

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 ...
