We have a kitty who just turned one. She’s so full of energy and sleeps just as hard as she plays. I love to watch her sleep. She sleeps on her back with her belly exposed a lot of the time. Our old tom cat NEVER slept like that. I guess he felt vulnerable and slept curled up and protective of himself. He got into a lot of fights and definitely wasn’t our favorite cat. Anywho. A sleepy kitty is usually a cuddly kitty, which is my favorite!!! Here’s a sleepy kitty you can make on a lazy day for your kidos.

I may or may not have sang “Soft Kitty” whilst creating this sleepy kitty. If you don’t watch Big Bang Theory, or know what I’m talking about, Here you go:
One thing I absolutely adore about spring/summer is all the fresh fruit that’s readily available! Not sure about your kids, but my girls are big time fruit eaters. And coincidentally, they love pancakes as well. For any meal. Do you sometimes have breakfast for dinner? It’s a family fave in my home. With pancakes and fresh fruit involved, whooo‘s not going to love this big eyed owl?
Flowers are blooming, birds are singing — spring is definitely here! That means mama birds are building their nests, and we always like to see which ones appear in our favorite climbing trees. My kids love to peek inside to see if there are eggs yet, or even more thrilling, little baby birds. But I always have to tell them that as cute as the birds can sometimes be, not to disturb them. Instead, I came up with this “nest” that I don’t need to worry about my girls messing with!

It’s the Easter season and bunnies are hoppin around in my brain. The bunny tushy has been hoppin around pinterest for the last few weeks. There are adorable tushy cookies, cupcakes, sweet Easter cakes and I even saw bunny tushy pancakes!! I had to get in on the craze and create a fun bunny tushy lunch!!
Ah, spring has finally sprung — the bunnies are hopping, the daffodils are blooming, and the stores are wall-to-wall with Easter candy. You may have trouble convincing you kids that there aren’t just three major food groups this time of year (chocolate, jelly beans and Peeps), but here’s a fun way to get their noses out of their Easter baskets — an adorable (and cheesy, but in a good way) chickadee quesadilla served peeping hot.

Sharks terrify me, but they always seem to be a hit with kids. They just love them! I don’t know why — maybe it’s their sheer strength or their massive amounts of teeth. It’s certainly not because they’re cuddly! What I do know is that I’m a few months early for “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel, but I just couldn’t help making a yummy shark that you could sink your teeth into … instead of it taking a bite out of you!
I still can’t believe I’ve made snacks for Nickelodeon Parents Connect to be posted every weekday for the month of March!! It has really stretched my ability, creativity and made me realize that I have been lazy the last few years!! It’s true!! If I can knock out 22 snacks in 3 weeks, then I should be making a lot more nummies for you guys!! I’ll work on it!!

I’ve got bunnies on the brain — must be because Easter is right around the corner! This simple yet festive dinner was brought to you by leftovers. I know, I know—kids hate leftovers, right? But when you present them in an irresistible way, what’s not to love? My girls got their own bunny dinner last night, and their squeals of joy brought a smile to my face! Take that leftovers!
