I have quite a collection of pictures my kids have drawn for me. Most of them include stick figures of our family, little blobs of color to represent our pets, and then, of course, there are innumerable pictures of our home, which inspired this lunch. I guess there’s a certain appeal for kids to want to draw straight lines, windows, grass and a smiling sun — over and over and over again.

April, and it’s showers, is over, so bring on the May flowers!! It might be raining where you are, but it’s 90 degrees with 1000% humidity here in NC. Have I mentioned how much I loathe summers in the south?? Well, I do. It’s May and it already feels like summer. One good thing about May would be the flowers that are starting to bloom. My girls have spent hours picking honeysuckles in our backyard. It’s become quite the neighborhood kid event. They are going to have to find something else to do soon because I don’t think there are many suckles left!! Here are a few flower sandwiches from the past that I wanted to bring back.

It’s been raining the last few days here, which is what inspired this fun kids snack (or even lunch). Being cooped up inside, I thought I’d get creative with goldfish flowers, string-cheese clouds and sunflower-seed raindrops (it was either that or play yet another round of Candy Land!). The results brightened up an otherwise gloomy afternoon, and as I reminded my girls, let’s not wish the rain away because, after all, April showers bring May flowers!

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!
Chirp-Chirp!!

Waldo and his sneaky hiding places just got a little bit more tasty! Have you spent hours pouring over those Where’s Waldo books to find the skinny adventurer in the red-and-white striped sweater? I know I have! My kids love the books, too. There’s some sort of Waldo craze going on right now (at least in my house), and I’m jumping on board with this fun and simple pasta — where Waldo just happens to be hiding!
So sneaky of you Mr. Waldo!!!

Snow. I wish it would here in the Carolinas! There are so many fun activities to do in the snow, from snowball fights to catching snowflakes on your tongue, and if you’re lucky, you’ll have enough snow for snow tubing! I loved tubing when I was younger. Bringing a bit of winter fun to the breakfast table sparked some conversations about my childhood memories. I wish we lived in a colder climate so my children could experience the thrills of a winter wonderland. Maybe we will one day, but until then, we’ll have to live vicariously through our little banana friend.

The pics I post here on Little Nummies are finished products of my creative randomness.
They look simple and easy enough for you to create, which is exactly the point!!
However, the process on my end is a little bit more challenging.
CASE IN POINT:
It all started while I was cutting up mushrooms to sautee for dinner…
