Nacho Cheese Bento Box

Nacho Cheese Bento Box

It's Friday! Today is a lazy day at camp for Peyton. They spend the day swimming and playing all day. They even have the ice cream truck come by! So, I thought I would make her lunch extra special today. I decided to make it with nachos and cheese! This was really easy, all I did was put some round tortilla chips in the bottom and covered it with shredded nacho cheese. I knew it would be a hit because Peyton loves cheese.  We still had some blueberries and blackberries in the fridge so that ...

Cinderstella

Cinderstella

I love this twist on a classic story tale! Cinderstella encourages little girls to think about more than princes, fancy dresses and jewels. While Cinderstella's two stepsisters are so busy bossing her around and obsessing over meeting the prince, Cinderstella is obsessed with the stars.Cinderstella's stepsister are demanding new tasks out of her everyday. One day it's to make fancy dresses for them, the next it's to do their hair and then polish their jewels. But while her stepsisters are ...

Relieve Eczema with Skin Clinical

Skin Clinical Extreme Healing Daily Treatment

Many of you know Peyton was diagnosed with Eczema last year right before Kindergarten started.  We had such an ordeal! Peyton had a severe eczema outbreak happening behind her right ear. I had never seen eczema before so I really didn't think much of it. We went to get her a hair cut for her first day of school and even the hairdresser never said a word about it. Instead, she washed Peyton's hair and while she was combing it out proclaimed Peyton had head lice. Well, that sure freaked everyone ...

Julep Custom Maven Box June

Julep June Reveal

When I first joined Julep there were only a few choices. You took a quiz and based on your answer you were thrown into a category. Based on that category, you would receive a box tailored to those category preferences.  It was only 3 nail polishes back then. So much has changed!  Now you can pick and choose what you would like in your box or you can go with the choices Julep has picked out for you. I typically create a custom box so I get exactly what I want and pay $19.99 a month for it.Here's ...

Butterfly Cheese and Crackers Bento Box

Butterfly Cheese and Cracker Bento Box

There are more than sandwiches you can use to make a lunch. Sometimes I forget about that and get into a sandwich rut. So today I took thick slices of Colby Jack cheese and used mini butterfly cookies cutters to turn them into butterflies! I used about 4 slices of thick sliced cheese to make 8 butterflies. I figured that was enough for lunch. Then I used a few Ritz crackers and tossed in a handful of pepperoni sticks. (I buy the pepperoni sticks at Target in the snack aisle.) Next up was the ...
