Nothing says spring like a crystal blue sky, a stiff breeze and a soaring kite darting through the air. Now that the days are getting longer, we’re looking forward to some after-school outings in the park on those days when the weather is too perfect to stay inside. But of course, the other thing about spring is the changeable weather. So when those gloomy April showers have you cooped up, you and your kids can still have some wholesome fun with this (edible) kite! It’s easy breezy!

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!

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!!
