Valentines

Is it too late to post these? I honestly dont care because I love how they turned out!! For 3 years now my daughter and I have done her Valentines together, and of course I always include her photo in them! This was fun! We even kept the outfit on to get more shots, which of course she had a blast doing. Being in front of the camera is her thing!

And with my oldest, I always find something that he and I can do together, this year it was scratch off tickets. All those cool tutorials you see on Pinterest? Ya, it so not as easy as they make them seem. It took about 3 hours total, coat after coat of paint, and drying with a hairdryer in between. They did turn out cool though and he really enjoyed them. I used THIS tutorial from Oh the lovely things. Love this blog by the way!!!!!!

Kids in the Kitchen

I absolutely love cooking with my kids, and it seems like none of the recipes I have are easy enough for them to understand. That is why I love childrens cookbooks! There are many bennefits for your kids if they're able to help in the kitchen; math, reading, bonding, responsibility. I love it and I know they do too

 Childrens cookbooks are so cute too!

Some not so much, but equally great!

The kids can even check them out at the school library!

Love how they have pictures for the recipes, helps the kiddos understand better. Sometimes it's difficult for them to understand what "fold in butter" means

 In most of them, the glossary is very helpful

Some are just too fun!

Some have great themes

and others are just pretty to look at, while still having excelent recipes for kids

But no matter what they look like, most important thing is that they're fun!!!

So get  out your cookbooks and enjoy an April shower inside, by the oven with your kids! Spring Break is  next week, so I know we will be doing alot of this!

And they say you can't play with your food...

Today while at the Dr.'s office, I was fumbling through one of the child magazines and came across this idea, I thought it was so cool and knew the kids would love it too. I can't remember what magazine it was to give the proper credit.
It's so simple too. I love it! I want to start a series for fun, easy, kids meals that they can prepare. All I had to do was boil the water and cut the hotdog!

 "Squid Dogs"

Just cut up a few hotdogs

Let the kids spear them with thin spaghetti noodles

Drop them in boiling water, and cook until noodles are tender!

And ENJOY!!

It was pretty good!
