Handmade Confetti
My sweet boy Jacks, is graduating Kindergarten this week. Insert proud momma moment here. As a parting, celebratory summer gift to his friends, he will be handing out these confetti packets. They are so fun! My kids have been having a blast tossing and re-tossing this handmade confetti. It’s a total cinch to make!
Salted Caramelized Chex Mix
I’ve been making this snack mix for a few years now. This is my most favorite chex snack mix recipe! Be forewarned….if you make it…you will eat it…you will eat lots of it! Yep, it’s that addictive. When I first stumbled onto this recipe, I made some changes and additions. Somewhere along the way, I made a mistake in one key ingredient. It was a mix up…the big Chex mix up.
I designed these cake banners last month for my husband’s birthday, but I’m just now getting to the blogging about them. Usually when I’m doing a blog post that involves baking, I do all of the baking at night. It’s impossible for me to be in the kitchen while my little people are awake. I know most Mom’s probably love baking with their kids. They may even have coordinating aprons. I don’t. As I’ve said before, I’m not crazy about baking. Flour stresses me out. Adding my kids to the mix, takes it to a whole other level. Though as much as I protest baking, I had fun designing these mini 3 layer cakes.
You know what makes a really great gift? Personalized dishtowels. You can get a 4 pack of flour sack towels at Target for $3.99. You know what plain flour sack towels are good for? Appliqué.
I am openly terrified of these things: serial killers, improperly cut chicken, paper cuts, and being eaten by a shark. Just for clarification purposes, my for real, “things I’m terrified of” list, is way longer. Way. Listen y’all, I’ve seen Jaws…more importantly, I’ve seen Open Water and Shark Week. I don’t do the shark thing.
This year for Mother’s Day, we went to the beach. I love the beach. It’s the one perk of living in Florida. It was a gorgeous day and I was all set to spend the day soaking up the sun with my family. Then, a well meaning passerby asked us if we had noticed the school of stingrays swimming about 20 yards out. Indeed, we had. Then Chris told me he said…they’ve been drawing the bull sharks closer to shore. But, what I heard was…YOU WILL DIE IF YOU GO IN THE WATER! A SHARK WILL EAT YOU!
