Easiest recipe…EVER!
May 14, 2008 by 2 Comments
This fantastically simple recipe has become our new family standby. My favorite part is that I don’t have to be prepared and have the chicken thawed before-hand. You dump it all in the crock pot, let it cook, shred the chicken and serve. Last time we made it, my husband added some liquid smoke and extra salsa. […]

I’m saving this idea for Trenton’s pirate birthday in a year and 4 months.

May 1, 2008 by 8 Comments
So it’s time to wrap up the report on the Nancy Drew party. On Friday night, each girl put together their own “sleuthing kit.” I found little cosmetic bags at the Dollar Spot at Target. I had planned to iron on their initials as a monogram before hand, but didn’t have enough letter A’s for […]

So the big Nancy Drew party is over and for the most part was a success (you don’t plan for a party guest to get sick and throw-up…fortunately I haven’t heard of anyone else getting sick from the exposure.) But I thought I would share all of the ideas, incase any of you are insane […]

This is they hybrid sleuthing notebook I made for the Nancy Drew mystery birthday adventure (full report coming, later). I got the idea from Emily Giovanni’s blog.
