One of our all-time favorite winter activities is making snow ice cream. We've not been very fortunate in the snow department of late but when it does come we are sure to make some. Rather than repeat the recipe you can click here to see an older post about this fun and delicious treat.
Do you have any other "cool" ideas for snow food? Leave a comment below!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We enjoyed the holiday's very much. We did a lot of online shopping for Christmas presents this year. What this means is that we have an abundance of boxes. I think my kids enjoy boxes as much as the gifts inside (and sometimes more). They get so creative with boxes. Houses, cars, puppet theaters, doll houses, store fronts, treasure boxes, boats, drive-in- movie theaters, etc. These are just a few of the fun things my kids enjoy creating with boxes. I wonder at what age kids stop being entertained by boxes. If you have some fun ideas involving boxes, please share!
Check out this neat site for some great random acts of kindness ideas this Christmas season. Fun to get the kids involved in this.

I meant to post this project several days ago but I got busy and forgot. If you need a last minute fun craft idea to keep the kids busy tomorrow, give this a try. They also make cute table decorations.
I've been in the mood for making pumpkin cupcakes with my kids so I went on an online search for some simple cupcakes. I found some super cute and simple pumpkin theme cupcakes at Family Circle. You could even use a boxed mix if you wanted and just decorate with orange frosting but I think the pumpkin flavor would be great! Enjoy!
Pumpkin cupcakes!
I discovered this adorable fall craft today. These little fabric pumpkins are so cute. Although an adult or older child may have to do the simple sewing, small children could help gather sticks from outside. They could also help stuff the pumpkins/squash. Enjoy making these Squash Softies.
