New Rice Krispies Treats packaging that you can write on!  What a great way to encourage your kids during the day!

Homestyle mac & cheese!  Seriously.  Try it.

Turtle Chex mix … it’s found me again …

Lastly, I keep this snack bin in our pantry and I thought I’d share the premise with y’all.  It’s filled with easy snacks, but nothing too heavy or sweet that would fill the girls up or ruin appetites.  When they’re complaining they’re hungry, I direct them to the bin and they can help themselves to something.  It’s also come in handy this week while packing lunches for camp!

So … your turn!  Anything in particular you’re lovin’ these days that I should give a try?  Inquiring minds want to know … :)

THIS was simply a downright funny, fast, and enjoyable read!  Kristin is a spitfire of an actress, singer, and now … writer with quite a story to tell!  Get it, you won’t be disappointed!

Did you know that since 1962, Target has committed 5% of its income to support local communities?
I seriously had no idea!  And right now they’re planning to donate
$500 million by the end of 2015 to support education and help kids learn to read.
Click on the image to the right to learn more about their reading program.

The gist is … right now Target is asking caring adults to pledge to read
to the children in their lives.  And as a thank you, Target will donate books to children in need.

What an EASY way to make a difference people!
Giving … helping doesn’t have to be grand gestures of activity or
spending … just take a minute and pledge!

And P.S. … a big ol’ way to be Tar-to-the-Jay!

Cardstore is offering personalized gift tags!  I think ye need to check it out!

In light of my recent Earth Day post … I thought these organic pouches from graze organic would be perfect to share!

A couple of mom’s were doing all the right “green” things, but still using plastic bags in their kids lunches.  They set out to find an alternative, but came up empty … read more to find out how graze was born.  I’m also lovin’ the tagline :: “graze … because every bag matters.”

It’s a Tooth Fairy door!  A door. for the Tooth Fairy!  It measures about 10 inches tall and 6 inches wide.  And it’s customizable with colors and framing.  LOVE!

Another genius Tooth Fairy goodie … the world’s smallest letter!  My friend Tiffany sent me one of these beauties not too long ago … just a note of thanks and friendship.  But they can also send a letter from the Tooth Fairy.  Comes complete with a little magnifying glass and everything.  Too cute!

I think what’s next should be some sort of iPhone app with a loud alarm/reminder … so that darn fairy remembers to show up on time! ;)
