This past Saturday my Chief Culinary Consultant was enjoying some guy time golfing and going to a baseball game, so I spent some quality time with my mom.
My first instinct was to see if there were any chick flicks OnDemand. After a quick search, I realized that I forgot that 400+ channels yield virtually nothing in the good movie department. Then it dawned on me – there were actual sports to be watched. Unfortunately for my mom, that meant sitting through the Pirates game (she loathes baseball).
When I started poking around for a recipe, I obviously wanted something that could be made with ingredients I already had in the house. It’s rich, smooth, and the absolute perfect texture for pouring over ice cream. How to Make Modern Cement Planters Using Packaging. Previous image Next image Make this planter!

How about a candy bar card! I remember doing these when I was younger.

You could make one for graduation, Father’s Day, Birthdays or many other occasions! If you Google “Candy Bar Card” you will see lots of different ideas I especially love THIS ONE. My boys had fun helping me raid the candy bar aisle at Walgreens.
I wanted it to start by saying “To my Big Hunk” but I couldn’t find a Big Hunk candy bar And I was going to end it with “I hope you find this card funny, love always your Bit-O-Honey” but I couldn’t find a Bit-O-Honey bar either. Some other ideas would be: Feel free to list some of your ideas in the comments! Life {Sweet} Life: {Free Printable} I Love You Because Message Board. I was browsing Pinterest the other day when I came across this pin from a content housewife, and knew it was something I couldn't wait to make.

And yes, that includes him putting his clothes IN the hamper. If you want to make one, it's quite simple.

I've made a gabillion types of fabric flowers in my crafty life, but these are by far the easiest to make ever. Ever. Ever. My five year old could make them if I managed the hot glue for him.
You could easily make them for barrettes, brooches, ornaments, headbands, etc. You can vary how they turn out by how thick you make the cuts and how wide the piece of fabric is that you start with. Clockwise from the top...the pink flower is cotton fabric and not felt (3in by 12in to start), yellow loopy one (4in by 12in) felt, orange (2in by 10) felt and the last one (3in by 12in). I bet if you play around, you can come up with some pretty lovely combos. Here's how you do it. Fold in half length wise. Cut almost to the edge in intermittent amounts. Put a bit of hot glue along the edge of the start...
And roll it up like so...kind of tightly, but don't go crazy. Glue the other end down when you get there. Cut a felt square a tad bigger than the back of your flower... Flower is done! Xo. Painting wooden spoons! Yesterday was STRESSful for me. I know I will sound like a complete wuss but it was. Aaron had his first dentist visit and came out with SIX cavities. :( That completely bums me out for him. Add to that the verbal scolding I feel like I got from the dentist and his helper and I was in the pits yesterday. It completely baffles me...Moses and Aaron have the same diet essentially and one has perfect teeth and the other apparently inherited both my super soft teeth and Doug's close together teeth. Not a nice combo for keeping cavities away.
I felt like the doctor didn't believe me when he asked...well does he drink a lot of juice? Does once every few days count? Anyway...I'm happy to have dental insurance and I am thankful that they are baby teeth. Yesterday seemed like a good day to tackle this project. Once they are dry they will be coated with a layer of food/baby/people safe shellac. And now to find the right way to display them in my kitchen....
