In-the-hoop Cookies

The girls love to play with the kitchen that their dad made for them. Their play kitchen isn't tucked away, it is staged in the great room of their house. So, they play with it lots.

What's a Tortilla Warmer?

Sometime ago, I saw an advertisement for tortilla warmers and loved the idea. They looked fun and useful but the cost was $8.00 - $12.00 each, depending on the size, plus shipping. "What a great way to use up scraps!" I thought. So, I tore out the ad and saved it. I came across it the other...

Keeping It Simple - Tags All in the Hoop

I went to have lunch with my granddaughter this week. It was fun but one thing that amazed me was how many lunch boxes looked just alike. And they were all jumbled together in huge tubs so it took the kids some time to find the one that belonged to them. So, this week we made In-the-hoop tags. Here is...

Keeping It Simple - 4 Stars for July the 4th

It all started with four little words. "I can make that." I only said it once. Now every time we see something that our five year old likes she asks, "Can we make that?" Sometimes I have to laugh because she currently thinks that we can make just about anything! Her mother said no...
