my “miss” guided attempts at being a supermama
I am ending the week on a sugary note…with a free printable, designed by “moi”! I {heart} the current sign I have in my playroom, it says “Keep Calm And Eat A Cupcake”. Well, I will now be keeping calm & eating cotton candy too! ;) (click on the button in each size for a [...]

Well, it CAN get better than CHOCOLATE Playdough, introducing Cotton Candy Playdough! I {LOVE} making playdough! And V {LOVES} to see what I come up with – “make pay-dough mama” :):):) I used the same cotton candy liquid flavoring I used in the Cotton Candy Cake Cookies to make this playdough. It’s super pretty & [...]

What a crazy day last Wednesday was. You know how you run upstairs to grab something & you can’t for the life of you remember what you climbed up those stairs for, so you have to go back downstairs & circle around trying to remember? Well, yeah, this isn’t like that. This is complete memory [...]
ooooooh weeee, I {LOVE} me some cotton candy! So much so, that my mom bought me one of those cotton candy machines, you know, one of those fun nostalgia-esqe ones that can sit on a table. It’s a bit over-the-top, and I have MAYBE used it once (it sits in our loft in the [...]

So, last week it was all about experimentation! Tuesday, I found a Nutella replacement with this cookie crumble… Thursday, V got all bubbly & squirty with vinegar… and Friday, it was a great quote turned into a fun printable :)

Yay, it’s Thursday – kiddo fun! I saw this cool post in parenting magazine about adding vinegar to baking soda & watching the reaction. I thought this would be the perfect activity for little miss V, and when better than “experiment week” to try out? :) Oh, & the article is misleading in the sense [...]
So I decided to go with this pic for my “Real Life Wednesday” today. And here’s why! Although this isn’t an imperfect pic, it’s a funny non-conventional pic I want to remember. This was my real life happening right in front of me while I was absorbed into my blogging world. If I hadn’t stepped [...]
While I was dreaming (I mean, taking a shower) about where my mind was headed this week for themes…clarity suddenly arose! I decided to go with “EXPERIMENTATION” for my weekly theme :) Quite a broad subject, I know, so broad it could really encompass my entire blog. Every DIY, kiddo craft, recipe, etc. is really [...]
Pin ItSo, last week it was all about some bread! Who would have thought bread could be so much fun?! Tuesday, we had boozy bread… Thursday, V got all fancy with bread… and Friday it bloomed into a mama activity with bread :)
So, sticking with the bread week & all…I decided to play around with the dough from the Bread Clay Beads a little bit & make it mama project worthy ;) And by golly I wasn’t going to let the rest of the loaf of white bread go to waste either! So, the bones of this [...]
So, I’ve declared this week Bread Week! Yay! Yippee! Wahoooooo! Okay, I’m done ;) Tuesday, we had my yummy Beer Bread on the docket. Today, little miss V is gonna share with you how to make these adorable bread clay beads for this fabulous necklace (well, I’m really the one who is gonna share; she [...]
Today I also have the honor of guest posting for Jenae over at I Can Teach My Child. Head on over now & check out my “3 Letter Lacing” free printable I made exclusively for this guest post.
So, when I saw this idea over at Picklebums, I thought it was a fantastic concept! So much so, I plan on trying to write a funny little ditty about my “real life” every Wednesday. The concept as written by Kate at Picklebums, as she says it, is to, “ remember real life, with all [...]
I have a severe weakness for bread! mmm-m’mmm-mmm-m I read somewhere that the average person consumes 53lbs of bread a year – “GREAT SCOTT” – if that’s the case, then my average consumption has to be at least double that! Wow, really Melissa, 106lbs of bread – WOWZERS, maybe I should cut back – HA! [...]
So, this is the first week under my “new format”, YAY! Well, since I was on vacation last week, I really don’t have a weekly wrap up for you…buuuuut not to fret…I have a fun week planned (it may or may not involve “Kool-Aid”…hehe…I’m experimenting ;)! So, I thought for today, I’d revisit some oldies [...]
While doing our weekly grocery trip, my eyes ventured over to the pasta. Now, so that you can take a little gander into the way I think, I was not peering at the pasta contemplating dinner ideas, no, no, no. That is not how my mind works; I am constantly thinking sensory bins or crafts [...]

Why, Hello! Has it been a week already? Whew! Well, I have to be honest here, although I took a blog vaca, it really wasn’t a “TRUE” vacation. I didn’t go anywhere (good thing we just did that beach week so it felt kind of like a vacation :)! I bet you are wondering what [...]
