Watermelon Jello!

In an actual watermelon rind! HA! Oh what fun! Originally from Gourmet Mom On-the-Go

Cart Coupon Caddy

HOORAY! I am super, super excited about this! I have always had the itch to get into coupon-ing, but I never found a way of organizing it all that would work for me. So, I've never started. I just can't handle the thought of carrying around a huge coupon binder...and a toddler...and a diaper bag...and keep my head on straight. I think, though, that this beauty from My Tiny Sweet Cheeks will do the trick for me. I can't wait to try it out! And see if I can start saving some serious moolah!

Lunch is served

To keep things exciting, this is a great idea to serve stuff up!

Snickerdoodle Muffins and a new blog!

Don't these look so tasty? I found a new blog this morning: The Sisters' Cafe. There were many of their recipes that stood out to me, but this one in particular just made my mouth start to water. YUM! Go check this site out; your husband will appreciate it! :)

YUM!

Doesn't this picture just say "delish" to your taste buds?! If it doesn't, I think there's something wrong with you. However, I am a sucker for a good, chocolatey, but not too much chocolate dessert. I have that blasted Bestor sweet tooth to thank for it... This will be the perfect thing for my one day a month "dessert day". Too bad it's 3 weeks away... :(

Found here on Noble Pig

yummy red white and blue!

Yeah! This is what I've been looking for for this weekend! Thanks 2 Clever Blog!

Super Quick Pancakes!

I really like this idea. Clean out a ketchup bottle, fill it will GOOD, HOMEMADE pancake batter, and walla! You have quick pancakes. Brilliant. Found here at Real Simple's New Uses for Old Things via The How-To Gal

Firecrackers!

I truly love July 4th, and everything that comes with it! Truly, truly! An Altered State of Mind has this super cute idea for a party favor or even decor.

Fast Food WHAT?!

Okay isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen?! People are so clever! I'm just glad they all post things online so uncreative people like me can pick up their ideas! This comes from Bakerella who even includes the templates for the fry holders and tissue paper.

LOVE Cafe Rio so I'm a little hesitant to try this in fear that it won't be as good, but maybe I'll be brave and give it a shot.

Brett agreed to help me makes these on Easter (along with rubbing blue eggs on our lips :)) and they turned out so cute! I used the Whopper Robin Eggs instead of Cadbury and they were a huge hit at our Easter get together!
