I've been making Peyton's lunches for a few months now and I must admit I'm still having a blast doing it! Even though she has been requesting lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I keep her box fresh and fun with new and interesting sandwiches thanks to my extensive collection of cookies cutters!I haven't used our Halloween cookie cutters since last Halloween. But I came across them while I was cleaning up our baking area. How fun is a sandwich in the shape of a cat? My one complaint ...
Crayola Experience at the Mall of America
I remember the day the Mall of America opened. It was the place to be when I was in high school. Over the years I have watched stores, attractions and restaurants come and go. This past spring, the Crayola Experience debuted at the Mall of America where Bloomingdale's used to be located. There are two other Crayola Experiences in the United States, Orlando, Florida and Eastan, Pennsylvania. I think it's pretty neat to have one here in my home state.Crayola has always been a staple in our ...
Pizza Circle Bento Box
There is only so much you can do with a Bento Box when your kid is fixated on sandwiches. But, last night we had Schwan's Four Cheese Pizza. It is by far the best cheese pizza I have found.

So as Peyton was munching on her cereal I started to cut the pizza into little circles. Out of the corner of ...
A Little Throwback to Sea World
One of my fondest memories growing up was the vacation my grandparents took me on to Sea World. I was about 6 years old and it was my first time to a park with sea animals. Oh boy was I excited! Back in 1983, Sea World was a lot different than it is now. I don't remember there being any rides. I just remember walking around this huge park and seeing all the animals. There were so many first for me on this trip. First time I'd ever seen a whale in captivity or any sea animal. Back in Minnesota we ...

One Big Turkey
I know we are in summer. So talking about turkeys and fall may seem a little premature. But summer is coming to an end. Peyton starts school in three weeks! The fair is starting soon. Which means, fall is right around the corner. One Big Turkey by Anne Vittur Kennedy lets us follow the adventures of One Big Turkey and all his silly friends as Thanksgiving draws near. One Big Turkey is in board book shape format, which I love for little ones. The book is cut out in a shape of a giant turkey! ...
