You know it’s officially summertime when school is out and you’ve got little growing kids at home eating everything in sight! I love the summer, especially because I get to experiment with new foods and fun snacks. These Chocolate Apple Pops were a total hit and so refreshingly delicious. They’re fun to make with or without your kids and even more fun to eat!
These Chocolate Apple Pops are so easy and fun to make. All you need is melted chocolate and apples! A few fun toppings add some flare but aren’t really needed. Below, I listed a few that I tried and some that I hope to try the next time I make these.
It’s TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK! Today we’re sharing this super cute and fun DIY Crayon Wreath that you and your child can make together to give to your favorite teacher.

Or when you’re struggling to teach your kid something you don’t even understand yourself, you’ve almost always thrown your hands up and said (to yourself, of course) “your teacher can show you how to do this!” [Read more…]

St. Patrick’s Day is this week so I’m sharing one of my new favorite traditions with you because I just love how cute this St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Basket is.
As the mom of a 7-year-old boy, I just love making every holiday as special as possible so why stop at St. Patrick’s Day?

One of my new favorite ways to make St.Patricks Day fun for my 6 year old is doing a treasure hunt that leads to a pot of gold, so to speak. I gather fun green-themed items, chocolate gold coins, beads, money, and other silly things I can put in a plastic cauldron and I hide it somewhere in the house. These St. Patrick’s Day Treasure Hunt Clues make finding the pot of gold much more fun and entertaining. [Read more…]
