“We are huge Dr. Seuss fans in our house! The Cat In The Hat was the first book I ever was able to read on my own and it was the first for my son too! Hmm… If I had to pick a favorite book it would be between Horton Hears a Who, Yertle the Turtle and Fox in Socks.”

“I had several Dr. Seuss books growing up. My own personal favorite when I was little was Horton Hears a Who! Now that I’m older though, I love Oh, The Places You’ll Go. My little guy’s favorite is and always has been, The Grinch. We have the book AND the movie, of course.“

“My kids have always loved Dr. Seuss books (and so do I)! They’re silly yet always include a great life lesson. We have TONS of them. Here are 25 of my favorites. The kids are so excited for some of the activities their teachers have planned for next week. One year my daughter’s teacher made cupcakes with green icing, put a pretzel rod in it, and topped with with cotton candy. A truffula tree from The Lorax! Easy and fun. We might try that for dessert one night next week!“

“Who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss!? Even as an adult, I still love enjoying his books with Sam. I probably appreciate Dr. Seuss more now as an adult since I can recognize how rare that creative genius is! Sam and I have a great time with Dr. Seuss themed books, recipes and crafts. There are so many ways to get creative!“

“I’m so ready for spring. When the cold weather shuts us in, you can find us making pillow forts and watching movies. During the school week, breakfast is usually something quick, but if we are snowed in we usually start off with Bacon Pull Apart French Toast Muffins or Rainbow Pancakes. A yummy breakfast, movies and a sweet treat later on (Josh loves Party Bark!) and we have awesome ‘stay-home’ days! “

“It’s been wayyyy too cold to go outside. It’s below zero here with the wind chill and school has been closed all week. Besides catching up on some TV and cuddling time, we find other things to do. Little man gets so bored, so I try to keep a few “hands on” activities and fun kiddie recipes ready for days that we’re stuck inside. “

“I’m so over winter. This year has been brutal so far, way too cold to get the kids outside. While we’ve been trying to stay warm inside the kids have discovered Harry Potter movies (yay!) and I’ve been doing my best to keep both their brains and their bodies active. Fortunately we have a big basement and they can play down there, even ride their scooters. Reading, cooking and coloring are a few of our go-tos to fight cabin fever.“

“It’s exceptionally cold here right now — below zero, actually and school has even been cancelled! I am keeping Sam indoors, which can be a bit of a challenge with lots of energy. Each day, we have time together reading and I also have us do a craft or activity together to keep him occupied. It definitely helps keep him happy and is a great way to fight boredom!“

Valentines Day Ideas – Crafts and Recipes Using Heart Shaped Cookie Cutters and Molds

January 17, 2014 by Jenni 254 Comments

I love February because of all the awesome Valentines Day Ideas, crafts and recipes! It’s a fun holiday. I get something ridiculous from my husband every year though…like a dust buster. Yeah. He’s the least romantic man in the universe when it comes to gift giving. He does other romantic things though, on occasion so it makes up for those occasional “dust buster” times.

Valentine’s Day is definitely a fun holiday to cook and craft with the kiddos. Especially since they do classroom exchanges. Our Valentine’s Day Trail Mix was a HIT last year! We can’t wait to make it again this year! Here’s a picture of some of the stuff needed to make it. It’s so super duper easy. No cookie cutters needed for this recipe, just an FYI. Because, you know, this post IS supposed to be all about using cookie cutters.

Kids LOVE to craft and of course they’re always under foot in the kitchen, so I wanted to share these fun Valentines Day ideas that they can help with. Most people already have heart shaped cookie cutters or molds, so I wanted to share crafts and recipes that uses them.
