Police Party Food & Drink Labels

cops and robbers food and drink labels

I am finally getting around to sharing the food & drink labels I made for Oldest’s Cops & Robbers birthday party.  They would be a great addition to any police or law-enforcement themed party.  For the “mug shots” labels I wrapped them around glass bottles (recycled from that sparkling juice at Costco- yum yum) and filled them with mug root beer of course.  Add a black & white striped paper straw and you are good to go.  police party drink labels

I know my Savior Lives: Primary Program Script & Tips

primary program script and tips

It was quite the week for Oldest.  Not only did he start kindergarten, but he also had to have one of his front teeth pulled!  The day before Kindergarten!!  Pretty rough.  He was brave though, got through it all and only fell apart once it was all over.  It helps that our dentist ROCKS!

Anyhow, that night amongst trying to make sure we had everything ready for his first day, I knew the tooth fairy had to do something extra special as well.  So I turned to my trusty computer (normal people would probably turn to their sewing machine..?)… Read the rest

Countdown Bags

countdown bagsSpoiler Alert: It is very possible that you will be very jealous by the end of this paragraph.  In fact, if I had read this post on another blog even the day before this trip was booked I would have turned green with envy and thought to my poor self “why don’t I ever get to do stuff like that?!”  Well my friends: I’m going to Bermuda.  For 9 days. Without my kids.  Wait, did you hear me right? NINE DAYS WITHOUT MY KIDS!!  IN BERMUDA!!!

I have very mixed feelings on this.  It all happened so fast and the stars aligned just so (aka my amazing mother in law who is willing to spend half of her summer break watching my three munchkins).  … Read the rest

How to Make 8s out of Donuts!

To assemble the “8”s I used 12 inch skewers, and this amazing nutella baked donut recipe from wonky wonderful.   I’m a big fan of nutella friends.  (I did substitute milk for water in the glaze to make it a bit creamier).  If you haven’t joined the world of baked donuts yet, let me invite you!… Read the rest
