When I became a mom, all of a sudden I felt like I had to become a “Pinterest Mom”. I was really excited about it too! I love crafting, cooking, and baking so I thought I’d be fantastic at it. Well…not so much. Every time I get an idea, I start pinning like crazy, foolishly thinking I have the time to work on every project or make every recipe. As always, I end up buying the supplies/ingredients and end up doing something completely different. Let’s face it, with my work schedule, kids schedules and lack of time, I’m lucky if I have time to do one little craft project a week. Now that my daughter is 4, she gets more involved in selecting the crafts or treats we make for school. 

Last year for Valentine’s day we made these adorable applesauce Love Bugs.

The year before we made Robots out of applesauce, juice boxes and raisins. 

Two years ago I made little felt hearts and filled them with Gold Fish crackers and Lucky Charms treats.
