Easter Party Treat Idea: Bunny String Cheese
I got assigned treats for my son’s and daughter’s preschool Easter party. I’m going to make cupcakes but I wanted to do another option that is healthier. I know that a lot of schools don’t allow baked foods, so these are perfect for school parties. They were so easy to make, I just took…

Guest Post: Ameroonie Designs

School started today!!!! I don’t know where the summer went. Like always, it just flew by. When I was getting my son’s school supplies, I looked at all of the different options of pencil boxes. There were the cheap ones and then themed ones that were three times as much. So I got the plain…
