Everyone knows the Easter bunny loves carrots, but kindergarten kids, probably not as much (although my daughter does love roasted carrots with goat cheese)! My daughters class had a STEM activity and craft planned that involved carrots the week before Easter. I was trying to come up with an idea for their special snack that matched the carrot theme, without having them turn their noses up at raw carrot sticks!  I decided I wanted to make something that looked like a carrot but with a more child friendly flavor. I happened to be making some Royal icing cookies that week...

My husband was traveling for work to New Orleans, and brought home Beignet mix from Cafe Du Monde. If you have never had a beignet from Cafe Du Monde, you have been missing out! They are incredible! Luckily for you, if you don’t have a trip to New Orleans planned soon, you can order their Beignet mix on Amazon! As soon as I saw the beignet mix, I knew we had to have a Princess and the Frog movie night! My husband didn’t love the suggestion, but agreed to watch if it meant I was making Gumbo and beignets! Of course...

The last movie night we had was Disney’s Enchanted, which my husband called a chick-flick. I promised him the next family movie night would be an action movie. My youngest daughter loves 80s movies like Ghost Busters and the Goonies and enjoyed the Indiana Jones stunt show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but had never watched any of the Indiana Jones movies, so I decided we should watch Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark!      When planning movie night snacks, I started by thinking of memorable moments from the movie, and knew I needed to do something with the...

As room mom for my daughter’s class, I love to make cute fun snacks for all of the holidays. St.Patrick’s day is one of my family’s favorite holidays (My husbands name is Patrick, and he claims it like a second birthday)! When sending in holiday snacks, I always try to balance it out by sending something healthy along with the sweet treat. I had already made these Pinch Punch Juice boxes and these Pot of Gold Treat Bags, so I needed to come up with something on the healthy side to send with them. When I saw these Shamrock Floral picks I thought...

I wanted to make cute juices for the St.Patrick’s Day snack in my daughter’s class. I found these cute Pinch Punch Tags and planned to hang them on Kool-Aid Jammer bottles, but none of the stores in my area had green in stock. I decided to just buy regular juice boxes instead, but I still wanted to use the round Pinch Punch Tags I had printed before I realized I couldn’t find green bottles. Juice boxes with their brand name/pictures/nutritional facts didn’t really scream St.Patrick’s Day to me, so I gave them a quick makeover. First I removed each straw that was...
